Vanilla Wafers, 6.3 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd find these vanilla wafers in the cookie/snack aisle or the allergy-friendly/gluten-free section, often pulled out for lunchboxes, tea-time, or a quick sweet bite. They feel nostalgic and comforting, but the long list of refined flours, multiple starches, palm shortening, added sugars and additives (modified cellulose, natural flavors, emulsifiers, color) and their uniform crisp texture indicate industrial ultra-processed manufacturing and shelf-stable formulation.
