What You Should Know

You'd spot these guava toasted corn crackers in the snack or international aisle as a small, shelf-stable pack—handy for lunchboxes or grazing while watching TV. They give a playful, slightly nostalgic and indulgent vibe, pairing sweet guava jam with a crisp toasted corn crunch. The use of pre-cooked corn flour, packaged jam with added sugar, oils and preservatives signals industrial processing that produces a crunchy texture and long shelf life, consistent with an ultra-processed snack.

Common Questions about Guava Toasted Corn Crackers, 4 OZ

The term 'healthy' can be a bit slippery, right? These crackers are low in calories and contain no artificial sweeteners or high fructose corn syrup, which is a plus. However, they do have added sugars and preservatives, so while they can be a fun snack, think of them as part of a balanced diet rather than a health food.
