Biscuit, savoury, flavoured

Commercially prepared, small biscuits made from white wheat flour, with added fat and flavourings other than cheese.

The majority of nutrients, including proximates, vitamins, minerals and fatty acids, were derived from analysis of individual and composite samples of 4 types of crackers (Arnott's Shapes tomato and chilli with poppy seeds x 1, BBQ x 2, chicken crimpy x 1 and Kraft in a Biscuit crispy potato x 1) purchased in supermarkets in SA, QLD, WA and VIC in 2008 (2008 - KFP). Na, I, fat and fatty acids were also derived from 4 individual samples of flavoured biscuits (2x shapes, 1x In-a-biskit and 1x Dixie Drumsticks) purchased in NSW in 2009 (2008 TFA program). Some minerals (Mg, P, F, Fe, S & Se), vitamins (biotin, folate & cryp) and cholesterol were derived from analytical programs conducted in NSW (1989 - UNSW - Sweet and Savoury Biscuits) and SA (1988 - AGAL - Savoury Biscuits, 1993 Cereal Catch Up Program and 1997/98 Folate Program). 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 (19th and 20th ATDS).
