What You Should Know

You'd find these in the cracker/snack aisle or on a party platter — a light, crispy rice-and-pecan thin marketed as a 'healthier' gluten-free cracker. The vibe is mildly indulgent and convenient, offering a nutty crunch for entertaining, lunchboxes, or a simple solo snack. The use of refined rice flour, potato starch, added oil and 'natural flavors' plus the likely industrial shaping/baking points to engineered texture and shelf stability typical of ultra-processed products.
