He's insisting they're ok, but I figured I'd ask. They have 3 g of sugar. so is it a yay or a nay?

I believe Wheat Thins have partially hydrogenated oils, so they are a "nay". Better to go with Triscuits instead.

Wheat Thins are made with "enriched flour" and therefore are not 100% whole grain. They also only contain 1g fiber per ounce, and on South Beach breads/crackers must have at least 3g fiber per ounce. Even the Multrigrain ones are not whole grain and are made with enriched wheat flour (they have SOME whole wheat but not ALL whole wheat)

And I believe they have a new 100% whole grain one...but those STILL do not have enough fiber (I believe they only have 2g fiber instead of 3g but I couldn't find those online to be sure)

Even Triscuits are made with hydrogenated oils, so not really allowed.

Catherine,


They've actually taken the hydrogenated oil out of Triscuits.

There is no hydrogenated oil in Wheat Thins either, but as the CLs commented, Wheat Thins do not contain whole grains or enough fiber. I am QUITE curious about the new 100% Whole Grain Wheat Thins however because Wheat Thins are one of my favorite foods so I would love to be able to have them again! I cannot find the nutritional info anywhere so I have no idea how they have changed them . . .

There are quite a few varieties of Wheat Thins, and all but one are made
