Carr's Original Table Water Crackers — OKAY
Munch or Dump rates Carr's Original Table Water Crackers by Carr's OKAY — score 60/90.
A genuinely short, simple list (refined flour, palm oil, salt) with no artificial additives, but it's refined carbs with little nutrition.
Why this verdict
- Only three real ingredients, no artificial colors, flavors, or additives
- Base is refined (enriched white) flour, so fast-digesting carbs with little fiber
- Palm oil is a refined vegetable oil, not a whole-food fat
- Nutritionally empty on its own, essentially a plain cracker for toppings
Ingredients (3)
- Enriched Wheat Flour (with calcium, iron, niacin, thiamin) (moderate) — Refined white flour, stripped of fiber and then fortified with a few added vitamins and minerals; digests fast and spikes blood sugar.
- Palm Oil (concerning) — Refined oil, second-largest ingredient. High in saturated fat and paired with sugar to make the spread hyper-palatable.
- Salt (moderate) — Adds sodium; fine in moderation but the main reason to watch portion size.
