Ingredients (10)
- wheat flour (moderate) — Thickening agent, not harmful but adds processing.
- Sugar (moderate) — Added for sweetness, can contribute to calorie content.
- Palm Oil (moderate) — Saturated-fat-heavy oil used in the crust.
- rapeseed oil (safe) — A source of healthy fats and often used in cooking.
- soy flour (safe) — Minor binder; a soy allergen source.
- Salt (moderate) — Used in moderation, might exceed necessary amount.
- cinnamon (safe) — Real spice; the one genuinely wholesome note.
- Sodium carbonates (E500) (safe) — Raising agent used to bake the original biscuit; harmless.
- Lecithins (E322) (moderate) — Soy-derived emulsifier that keeps the fat and starch smoothly spreadable; a marker of processing.
- Citric acid (E330) (safe) — Common acidity regulator, no real concern.
