Woolworths Free From Gluten Mint Creme Biscuit

Very Rich, OK in Moderation - Unhealthy Levels of 30% Fats and 40% Sugar – These are more dense and drier than the original Mint Slice biscuits. They're quite a decent substitute. I find them a little sickly, even just one. They're 40% sugar - so if you hold up a biscuit and imagine nearly half is straight sugar, it's easy to see why they can be nauseating. Now, that's about the same amount of sugar that can be found in straight chocolate. They also have 16% saturated fats, and 30% of the total biscuit is fat. So that's 70% in just fats and sugars. Oof. Unsurprisingly, they get a 0.5 out of 5 star health rating.

In terms of ingredients, they're reasonably transparent. Except the "natural flavourings" which can be nearly anything. The packet that I had did not list milk as an allergen, so they must have been dairy free. They also don't list soy. That's pretty impressive. The packet that I got only had Tree Nuts and Sesame as potential allergens.

They currently work out at $2.40/100g ($3.50 per pack in October 2021). Tim Tams are $2.00/100g. The price difference seems fair enough.

I have had these a few times, but I end up feeling sick every time I eat them, so won't be purchasing them again.
