Biscuit, sweet, iced

Commercially prepared, crisp sweet biscuit topped with sugar-based icing. Predominant ingredients are white wheat flour, sugar, animal or vegetable fats, salt and chemical leavening.

Sugars, fatty acids and some vitamins and minerals were derived from a composite sample of 3 types of biscuits (2x Arnotts 100s and 1000s, 2x Arnotts Tic Toc and 2x Sunshine Iced Treats) purchased in Adelaide (1988 - AGAL - Sweet Biscuit Program). Sugars, fatty acids, and some minerals were derived from a composite sample of 2 brands of biscuits (Arnotts Honey Jumbles, Hundreds and Thousands and Tic Tocs) purchased in Sydney (1989 - UNSW - Sweet and Savoury Biscuits). Vitamin C and fibre were imputed based on similar foods. Note low sum of proximates - data should be used with caution.
