Arnott's Salada

What the h**** is all the fuss about??? – I hadn't eaten Saladas for ages and to me they are just the same, simply yummy. And mind you, if I thought they weren't I'd sure as h*** say so. Maybe some of these people who've written bad reviews are not in Australia!!!!!! Show details

Always a pleasure!! – Nothing beats a salada with butter and cheese. I can’t believe all the haters. They taste the same to me as they did when I was a kid. I like the variety these days too. Show details

Best thing in the world – What can I say. These are the best crackers to ever exist. A pack a day keeps the doctors away❤️ It’s saddening that they are $3 tho

Agree with other reviewers that these biscuits are now incredibly brittle. There is no point in having the "break lines" as it is impossible to break the biscuit into four equal squares like the biscuits did before.

Arnott how can you say your Salada biscuits are original? They are awful! Definitely not the same biscuits anymore thin and tasteless! Why ruin a great product to save money! Won’t be buying these again! Very disappointing Show details

These biscuits used to be a staple in my pantry. But they won’t be anymore! Current pack finds biscuits to be thinner and tasteless. Where is the salt?? So thin, they break. Bloody awful!!! Show details

They are much weaker and break way to easily. The flavour has changed making them something that's not a Salads. Some CEO obviously cutting costs to get his performance bonus. We won't be buying them anymore. Show details

I have bought saladas for 50 years but no more. Absolute rubbish obviously made to a price. No thought of quality. Smaller thinner and hard as a rock. They must have made a profit before but obviously not enough. Greedy people. More interested in investors profit than quality for the customer. Why change something that was perfect. Show details

Until recently Jun 2025 had saladas daily but Arnotts have destroyed a very good product. Thinner, Always breaks, No salt, Tastless holes are bigger and allup, Rubbish. Who was the smarty who decided to change the recipe for Profits. *April 2026 decided to have another try and nothing has changed still rubbish. Salada Original should go back to the ORIGINAL. Show details

This packet of salada biscuits will be the last I’ll ever buy which is sad because I’ve been buying them for decades. It’s obvious the recipe has changed as they’re impossible to spread without them breaking into pieces due to them being so thin. On top of that they have absolutely no flavour.

Shame on Arnotts – Salada biscuits have definitely changed,less salt and you can’t butter them properly because they break,they are thinner and not crunchy. and much more lighter in colour. They are definitely smaller.I have decided that I won’t be buying them again. It’s a shame Arnotts have not been honest about the changes made to the original recipe. I am also curious as to why they changed the recipe. Arnotts please tell. Show details

Stonada – They crumble when splitting… taste stale, lack the salty finish….. soooo disappointing! But…. yet….. you have ignored feedback for so long, it appears Arnotts could care less. Lost the recipe and right to call itself Australian. So deceptive! Show details

Paying for Air! – Biscuits are so very thin now..when buttering cream cheese etc they break! A lot more holes in them...50/50 holes to Biscuit ratio causing weight down dramatically per box. Paying for air! Other brands are cost wise cheaper and weigh more in product. Show details

Why did you change the Saladas? – I have just opened a new packet of Salada original and they are not the original that I have been enjoying every couple of evenings a week for last 3.5 years with my glass of wine.in the late afternoon or as a quick snack on the run. They break up more easily because they are thinner and it looks like they have a bit more oil in them because the… Read more

biscuit is more cooked looking. They even seem to have larger holes. I really enjoyed the previous slightly thicker and lighter cooked. I loved the taste of butter on them and now they seem too rich to enjoy the butter or the avocado on them. It's not the same flavour. Stop changing things guys and leave the obviously plain things alone. If we wanted bite size stuff we would buy your now too tasteless Captains Table. And just for future reference I no longer buy your Vita Wheat originals as the recipe changed to tasteless dry and so hard I could hardly get my teeth into it. I will assume that you added a fibre supplement into them because they bound me up for a couple of days after only having 3 at once. I threw my second box out. I am complaining because I am tired of my ‘look-forward-to’ favourites changing.

Very disappointed – So sad to reveal, that for decades my much-enjoyed Arnott's Salada Original, has now become almost inedible. They are thinner, colourless and tasteless. I suggest the outer cardboard packaging could have more nutritional value and taste. Unfortunately, I will not be purchasing Arnott's Salada Original again. Show details

Dissatisfied customer – I haven’t had saladas for quite a while but fancied some , so I purchased 2 packs as they were on special, to my utter disappointment they seemed stale , thin and lacked that sprinkle of salt which I like . I thought maybe I got a dud packet , but after reading all the comments I realise not , they are not good. I’ll be returning the second packet and won’t purchase again.

Bring back Salada - not this poor imitation – Instead of spending millions on advertising, get your product right. If it isn't broken don't try and fix it. Since when did Arnotts Salada become Nabisco Premium biscuits? The flavour is the same.

and another one bites the dust – Salada . ..along with the ,new improved ,Sao ,not even as palatable as the box they come in . For goodness sake Arnotts ,if you are going down just do it and stop jerking on the end of your rope . Show details

Cheap and Nasty – Arnotts continues to cut costs by cutting the quantity of the more expensive ingredients in their biscuits,and the result is all our once favourite’s have become rubbish, Monte Carlos just crumble into a sand like mess, hardly any cream or jam either, I’m guessing they have massively reduced the amount of butter in their biscuits across the range,… Read more

reduced sizes and sizes. Now it’s Salada, thinner, virtually no salt, that brittle they fall apart when trying to spread them , just a cheap imitation of what they were, sorry bye bye Arnotts, trading on the good name of the original recipes while producing cheaper to produce rubbish.

Taste stale…what have you done? – Had a real craving for wholemeal salads last week, haven’t had them for years and was really looking forward to a snack with cheese and tomato. First bite oh that tastes weird, second bite, third bite and hmm not very crunchy and really unflavoured, kinda stale tasting. So made up one with just butter and yep absolutely awful. They tasted stale,… Read more

hardly salted, hardly any crunch, where’s the flavour gone? Whatever you have changed or whatever new process you are using you need to stop and rewind to a better product. I checked use by date on box and well within date, even wondered if there was a small hole in bag making them stale. Bloody disappointed and sadder that I’ll never buy again.

Disgusting! – More like a Vita Wheat. Thought I would try Salada instead of SAO ( and they are not what they used to be!) These Salada are worse than the SAO. I give in! Thank heavens I did not pay full price for these tasteless pieces of cardboard. Show details

Lost Quality and Flavor – Salada has lost flavor, and texture. It's no longer crunchy, it's dense instead of light and has no flavor anymore. When they return to what they once were I'll start purchasing them again. That won't be easy since I have to buy them to try them. Salada will have to market that they made a mistake and returned back to the ORIGINAL cracker. Show details
