Organic Classic Saltine Crackers Review

Late July Organic Classic Saltines are vegan by their ingredient list, and they are the rare saltine whose package actually says so.

Ingredients and nutrition

The list is short: organic wheat flour, organic sunflower and/or safflower oil, organic palm oil, sea salt, organic cane sugar, organic yeast, baking soda and cream of tartar. There is no milk, egg, honey or animal fat. The sugar is organic cane sugar, which is generally not processed with bone char.

A serving is 4 crackers (14 g). Label data per 100 g shows 17.9 g fat, 3.6 g saturated fat, 856 mg sodium, 0 g sugars and 7.1 g protein. The palm oil gives it a little saturated fat, where Nabisco Premium and Zesta list none. Like any saltine, it is a low-fiber, refined-flour cracker.

Who should buy it

• Vegans who want a brand statement rather than relying on an ingredient list
• Shoppers who prefer organic, non-GMO ingredients with no artificial preservatives

Who should skip it

• Anyone avoiding palm oil
• Budget shoppers: it costs more per ounce than Nabisco or Zesta, which are also vegan by ingredients

Buyers who like it describe a sturdy, old-fashioned soda cracker; some find it too hard or too salty, and online orders sometimes arrive crushed.
