Ingredients
7 listed · 5 flagged · estimated by AI, check the label- Enriched Wheat Flour (Base)Caution
Serves as the primary ingredient providing structure and carbohydrates for energy; enriched with vitamins and iron but being a refined flour it has a high glycemic index potentially causing blood sugar spikes and it contains gluten posing risks for those with allergies or intolerances.
- Sugar (Sweetener)Caution
Primary sweetener that adds flavor but contributes added sugars leading to high glycemic load, potential for weight gain, increased diabetes risk, and dental problems with frequent consumption.
- Palm Oil (Fat/Shortening)Caution
Used for texture and shelf stability; contains saturated fats that may contribute to elevated cholesterol levels and heart disease risk if intake is high.
- Cinnamon (Flavor/Spice)Beneficial
Provides distinctive taste and aroma; offers beneficial antioxidants and compounds that may support blood sugar regulation and reduce inflammation in moderate amounts.
- Sodium Bicarbonate (Leavening Agent)
Helps the biscuits rise during baking; considered neutral as it has minimal direct impact on health at the levels present in the product.
- Iodized Salt (Flavor Enhancer)Caution
Improves overall taste; adds to daily sodium intake which could be a concern for individuals with hypertension or those monitoring salt consumption.
- Soy Lecithin (Emulsifier)Caution
Aids in mixing and consistency of the dough; soy is a common allergen and the product may not be suitable for those with soy allergies, though typically used in small quantities.
