Density 33 · -7 vs Baked goods median

Milk crackers score 33 of 100 in the Low band, ranking 38th of 60 baked goods, though they post a respectable iron figure at 20% DV alongside smaller showings of protein at 15% DV, calcium at 13% DV, and fiber at 12% DV per 100 g.

These are the mild, slightly sweet crackers often paired with soup or cheese, or crumbled into a pie crust. An ounce (14 g) is a typical portion, and the box adds up to 687 mg of sodium per 100 g, keeping the score just under the baked goods category's median of 40; Crackers, water biscuits is a same-category option worth a look.
