Key Takeaways & Health Considerations

• These are quite calorie-dense, as is typical for sweet biscuits: a lot of carbs & sugar, with moderate fat.

• The sugar content is significant: nearly a quarter to one-third of the biscuit by weight is sugar.

• Sat fat is present, though not extremely high, but something to watch especially if eating multiple biscuits.

• Not much protein or fibre, so they aren’t very satiating relative to their energy content; combining with something protein/fibre-rich may help balance.

• Good for a quick energy boost or a snack, but regular consumption in large amounts could contribute to high sugar or calorie intake.
