What You Should Know

You'd spot these guava toasted corn crackers in the snack or specialty aisle as a grab-and-go sweet-savory treat for picnics, after-school snacks, or a movie night. They give off a playful, slightly nostalgic vibe — a tropical jam-meets-cracker snack that's crunchy and a little indulgent. The use of pre-cooked corn flour, a sweetened guava jam, added acidulants, natural colorings and tocopherol preservative, plus the finished crispy texture, are hallmarks of industrial ultraprocessing (NOVA 4).

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.
