Key Points & Considerations

• These biscuits are light and often marketed as “tea-time” biscuits; meaning they are relatively simpler snacks, not major sources of protein or fiber. 

• The sugar content is moderate-high (≈ 22 g per 100 g) which contributes to their sweet taste.

• Fat content is non-negligible, including saturated fat, mainly from palm oil and milk ingredients.

• They contain allergens: gluten (wheat), milk; also, as imported European packages show, sulphites (colouring agents) in some versions. 

• No significant fiber (many listings report ~ 0 g fiber) which means they may lead to faster increases in blood sugar, especially if eaten alone without protein/fats.
