What are the options if you wish to either avoid palm oil, or only buy biscuits with certified palm oil?Burton’s Biscuit Company is leading the way in the sweet biscuit category by continuing to drive the agenda on sugar and calorie reduction. Wafersare a great coffee pairing and are often very low in syns too thanks to their lightweight size and low-calorie fillings.

List of Vegan BiscuitsIn the UK, all sugar beet grown by farmers is processed by British Sugar, owner of the Silver Spoon brand and a subsidiary of Associated British Foods which also owns Ryvita. In January 2021, British Sugar, together with the National Farmers’ Union, successfully lobbied the government for authorisation to use a pesticide containing the neonicotinoid thiamethoxam which has been banned by the EU for all outdoor use since 2018 because of its negative environmental impacts, particularly the harm it does to bees. The sugar beet crop was under threat from a potentially devastating disease called virus yellows. These are really nice digestives with a little chocolate added for extra enjoyment. Even dunkable!" Anon review on Tesco Get wafers - Wafers are a perfect low syn biscuit thanks to their lightweight size, reducing their overall calorie content.

Discussions about sugar often focus on its impact on public health, and in particular on childhood obesity. A levy on soft drinks has been in place for five years in the UK and has resulted in significant reductions in the amount of sugar in drinks and in consumers shifting to drinks with less sugar. Despite this, the levy hasn’t been extended beyond drinks, and biscuits manufacturers are currently merely encouraged to reduce sugar, with a target of 20%. Palm oil is widely used in many processed foods, including biscuits. Its mass production has been very damaging environmentally and been linked to workers’ and human rights abuses. Very dunkable, these chocolate chip digestives are great for anyone who wants something sweeter than your average biscuit but doesn’t want too much chocolate. They’ve got a great light texture and are perfect with a cuppa. Calorie and Nutritional Information

Calorie and Nutritional Information Sugar-free sweets, biscuits, and no added sugar chocolate; Wooohoooo! When looking in the shops, you may see items which are labelled as sugar-free and no added sugar, which is marketed as suitable for diabetics… Hurrah! All the naughty things you may be craving and yet no sugar to cause high blood sugar levels, which is something we are trying to avoid. So please be warned, I advise having two or three sweets at a time, or you could regret the decision to have a treat! You may want to reconsider giving children these sugar-free sweets and treats as a supposedly healthier alternative too. Firstly, these products are generally more expensive than everyday products, so the first thing to bear in mind is that you generally need to spend more and get much less for your money than regular products. This seems especially true for sugar-free sweets and biscuits.
