The pack in your hand is always the final word on ingredients and allergens. ## Description Melts were made to be the richer, softer alternative to a crisp water biscuit. The dough is shortened with vegetable oils and lifted with raising agents, so the cracker bakes into thin layers that give way easily when you bite. The Original keeps the flavour plain, which makes it the most versatile of the range.That plainness is the point. A rich cracker with a neutral flavour flatters cheeses that are mild and creamy, and it stands up to soft spreads that would make a thinner cracker go soft.Taste and textureExpect a mild, lightly salted, toasty flavour and a short, flaky texture. The label data gives 2g of salt and 7.4g of sugars per 100g. It is richer than a water biscuit, so it feels more substantial on its own.What is in itThe full ingredient list is printed on the pack.
