If offered at all, use only tiny plain cracker fragments. Avoid flavored crackers, topped servings, and snacking beyond the occasional tiny bite. Repeated snacking adds empty calories and sodium.
Saltines are thin baked crackers made from refined flour, leavening, and salt. Dry, crunchy, and mostly carbohydrate with limited nutritional value.
Often served with soups, spreads, cheeses, and deli meats. Cracker crumbs can be swallowed quickly by small pets.
Flavored varieties may include onion, garlic, or sweet coatings. Toppings like peanut butter, cheese spread, or deli meat add fat and sodium.
