Wheat Thins Hint of Salt — ENGINEERED

Munch or Dump rates Wheat Thins Hint of Salt by Nabisco ENGINEERED — score 31/90.

Whole grain wheat leads the list, but it hides three separate sweeteners plus refined oil and refined starch, capped off with BHT preservative.

Why this verdict

• Three separate added sugars: sugar, malt syrup, and refiner's syrup
• Hyper-palatable triad present: added sugar + refined canola oil + cornstarch
• Contains BHT, a synthetic preservative restricted in some countries
• Engineered for salty-sweet craveability, not nutrition

Ingredients (8)
