SEEDED FLATBREAD CRACKERS
Summary
The seeded flatbread crackers contain several beneficial whole grains and seeds, which contribute to fiber and nutrient content. However, the presence of safflower oil, a seed oil high in omega-6 fatty acids, and the processed nature of the product reduce its overall healthiness. Additionally, the inclusion of multiple additives further impacts the score, reflecting a moderate level of processing.
