Refined flour, two sweeteners, and two refined oils built into a hyper-palatable snack designed to keep you reaching for more.

Why this verdict

Refined enriched flour is the base, nothing whole-grain
Two separate sweeteners: sugar and high fructose corn syrup
Two refined oils (canola and palm) drive the fat and calories
Soy lecithin emulsifier plus 'natural flavor' engineer the texture and taste
Hyper-palatable triad (refined starch + refined oil + added sugar) built to overeat

unbleached enriched flour (moderate) — Refined wheat flour stripped of fiber and nutrients, then fortified with synthetic B vitamins and iron; spikes blood sugar fast.
CANOLA OIL (moderate) — Refined seed oil — adds calorie density and completes the hyper-palatable triad with sugar and starch.
Palm Oil (moderate) — High in saturated fat; deep-frying medium that pushes fat and calories up.
Sugar (concerning) — Added sugar, third by weight, feeds yeast and adds sweetness with no nutritional benefit.
Salt (moderate) — Added for taste and mild preservation. Fine in small amounts but adds to daily sodium.
Leavening (calcium phosphate and/or baking soda) (safe) — Standard leavening agents to make the cracker rise; benign.
High Fructose Corn Syrup (concerning) — Cheap refined sweetener; drives blood-sugar spikes and adds empty calories with no nutrition.
Soy Lecithin (moderate) — Emulsifier that keeps the crumb soft and uniform; a processing additive.
Natural flavor (moderate) — Undisclosed flavor compounds; vague catch-all term.
