What You Should Know

You'd spot these Midel Gluten Free Ginger Snaps on the supermarket cookie or gluten-free aisle, an easy grab for tea time, lunchbox treats, or a nostalgic holiday cookie plate. They feel comforting and familiar — a crisp, ginger-forward snap that nods to homemade gingerbread but comes in a convenient packaged form. The ingredient list (refined flours, added sugar and oil, xanthan gum and soy lecithin) and uniform texture point to industrial reformulation and shelf-stable, ultra-processed production.
