Taste Test Tuesday: Pepperidge Farm Baked Natural Wheat Crisps

Pepperidge Farm Baked Natural Wheat Crisps - Toasted Wheat

These crackers have zero trans fats and only 1 gram of saturated fat per serving because partially hydrogenated oils and saturated fats aren't used to make them. Vegetable oils are the 6th ingredients listed, including sunflower, canola and/or soybean oil). But that's not the best part about these new crackers. Whole-wheat flour is actually the first ingredient and there are 2 grams of fiber per ounce of the crackers! (The second ingredient is unbleached enriched wheat flour.)

These crackers tasted great and had just the right amount of crispness. There is a fair amount of fat grams per serving, however, and this computes to 32 percent calories from fat. Each serving also contributes 5 grams of sugar because sugar is the third ingredient added, followed by nonfat milk and cornstarch.

1 ounce (17 crackers) of Pepperidge Baked Naturals Wheat Crisps - Toasted Wheat contain:
140 calories
2 g protein
21 g carbohydrate (5 g sugars)
5 g fat
1 g saturated fat
0 mg cholesterol
2 g fiber,
240mg sodium
