Our take

CleanPlate review

A sugar-free cracker that is 89% refined flour

Britannia NutriChoice Sugar Free Cracker is refined wheat flour (maida, 89%), palm and palmolein oil, raising agents, salt, milk solids, yeast, flavouring, lecithin, two acidity regulators and a dough conditioner (INS 223, sodium metabisulphite).

CleanPlate scores it EB4. The E for nutrition is low: almost no credited protein, fibre or micronutrients per 100 g; its 9.6 g of protein earns no credit because it is under 2.75 g per 100 kcal. The B for ingredients reflects mostly refined or industrial ingredients (led by refined wheat flour, refined palm & palmolein oil and milk solids), with additives that cost points: sodium metabisulphite and flavouring. The 4 for risk comes mainly from sodium (600 mg per 100 g) and saturated fat (7.3 g per 100 g).
