What You Should Know

You'd spot these thin pecan crackers in the snack or cracker aisle, often marketed near better-for-you or entertaining items for cheese boards and light nibbling. They feel lightly indulgent and slightly sophisticated—more special than a plain cracker but still convenient for snacking on the go. The short ingredient list and crispy texture come from milled rice, potato starch and refined oil, while the presence of 'natural flavors' and refined components indicates industrial processing that makes them more processed than whole nuts.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

The product uses basic culinary ingredients (rice flour, pecans, starch, oil) with minimal additives, but includes refined components and 'natural flavors' produced industrially, fitting NOVA 3 (processed foods) rather than the highly formulated NOVA 4 ultra-processed category.
