Crackers

Moderate concern

Most commercial crackers are made from refined wheat flour and contain added sodium and fat, sometimes including palm oil or hydrogenated fats. They are typically energy-dense with limited fiber and contribute to refined-grain and sodium intake.

What it is

Thin, dry baked goods made primarily from wheat flour, water, fat, and salt, sometimes with leavening and flavorings.

Used as a crunchy inclusion or component in snack mixes, soup garnishes, and packaged snacks.

Why it's flagged

Often high in sodium
Refined flour with little fiber
Contains wheat (gluten) allergen
