Biscuit, savoury, from white flour, Salada style

Commercially prepared square biscuits made from white wheat flour with added fat and sprinkled with salt. Arnotts Salada brand crackers are an example of this style of biscuit.

Sugars, fatty acids, minerals and vitamins were derived from a composite sample of 3 types of crackers (Arnotts Saltine Cracker, Arnotts Salada Cracker and Nabisco Premium Crisper) purchased in Adelaide (1987 - AGAL - Cereal Products and Biscuits). Fe, Cl, Se, S, F, B1, B2, ATOC, B3, B6, pantothenate, and biotin were derived from a composite sample of 3 types of crackers (Arnotts Salada, Arnotts Saltine and Lanes Premium) purchased in SA (1993 Cereal Catch-up Program). Folate was averaged from 97/98 ANZFA Folate Project (8x Arnotts Salada purchased in Melbourne in February 1998) and in a composite of 6 purchases (1x Arnotts SAO, 1x Arnotts Jatz, 1x Arnotts Water Cracker original, 1x Arnotts Salada, 1x Carrs Table Water crackers, 1x Mini Ritz) purchased in Sydney in March 2005. I, Se, Cr, Ni and Mo were determined in 6 samples of various styles of savoury biscuit purchased in Qld, SA and WA in November 2004 (22nd ATDS). Other heavy metals were determined in composite samples purchased nationally in 1998 and 2000. Ash was imputed from plain salted biscuits in Makinson et al (1989).
