What You Should Know

You'd spot these small cheddar sandwich crackers in the supermarket snack aisle or peeled out of a lunchbox at school or work—convenient single-serve comfort snacking. They deliver a crunchy, salty, nostalgic bite, but the long ingredient list (refined flours, palm and sunflower oils, added sugars, emulsifiers and cheese with additives) and shelf-stable texture reflect industrial formulation and ultra-processed manufacturing typical of NOVA 4.
