Jacob's Bites Sweet Chilli & Sour Cream Flavour Crackers, 125g
Sweet, a little hot and tangy: the most snackable of the Bites, with low saturated fat from sunflower oil.
Jacob's Bites Sweet Chilli & Sour Cream Flavour Crackers, in brief.
Jacob's Bites Sweet Chilli and Sour Cream are small, crunchy snacking crackers made with wheat flour and dried potato, with a natural sweet chilli and sour cream flavouring. A portion on the label is 25g, five in the pack.
They use sunflower oil, so saturated fat is low at 2.1g per 100g, and the label declares wheat and barley (gluten), milk and sulphites.
Sweet chilli and sour cream is one of the great snack flavours: a little sweetness, a little heat and a cool, tangy finish. These Bites put it on Jacob's potato and wheat cracker, which bakes lighter and crunchier than a plain biscuit.
The dough uses fortified wheat flour, dried potato, starch, sunflower oil and wheat gluten, lifted with raising agents. Natural flavourings made with milk carry the sweet chilli and sour cream taste.

The story behind Jacob's
Jacob's began with W. and R. Jacob's steam biscuit factory in Dublin in 1853, and it was making cream crackers from around 1885: the plain, crisp, blistered square raised with yeast that is still the everyday cracker of British kitchens. In 1914 Jacob's opened its first English factory at Aintree, Liverpool, which Wikipedia records as the main UK producer of Jacob's products today. The range has grown far beyond the cream cracker. On our shelf you will find Cheddars and Mini Cheddars, the rich, flaky Cornish Wafers, Krackawheat with 31% ryemeal, Choice Grain, the potato based Bites, TUC, flatbreads, crispbreads and the Biscuits for Cheese selection box.
Packaging: a 125g pack. Once the pack is open, fold it tightly closed or tip the crackers into an airtight tin, and keep them somewhere cool and dry. Damp air is what softens a cracker. The pack gives the best before date.
