Not a great choice for everyday.

This is most likely a biscuit product made primarily from wheat flour. It is classified as ultra-processed because it contains glucose syrup, an industrially extracted sugar, and sustainable palm fat, a highly processed refined oil. Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose is an industrial stabilizing or thickening additive, and hydrolyzed protein is an industrially processed ingredient. These ingredients indicate an industrial formulation under the NOVA classification.
