Wheat flour (49%), Oil seed (15% – Flaxseeds, watermelon seeds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds), Refined palm oil, Sugar, Sweeteners (965 (i) and (ii)), Milk solids, Liquid glucose, Date and raisin paste (stabilizer 1422), Acidity regulator (330), Emulsifier (471), Preservative (202) and Antioxidant (300), Raising agent (503 (ii) and 500 (ii)), Butter, Invert sugar syrup, Emulsifier (322 (i) and 471), and Iodised salt and flavors (Natural, nature identical and artificial (milk and butter) flavoring substances).
These biscuits are made using wheat flour and have no maida which is a good thing considering the other biscuits are primarily maida-based. However, these still have ingredients that cannot be particularly labeled as healthy including artificial sweeteners, palm oil, liquid glucose, invert sugar syrup, and preservatives. It is best to limit the consumption of such ingredients.
