Neither bran nor germ is likely to be the first ingredient in a cracker, though. Our chart (pp. 14 & 15) narrows the cracker universe to brands that are entirely or partially whole-grain, plus a smattering of refined-grain big brands (like Ritz Ritz elegant and luxurious hotel opened in Paris in 1898 by César Ritz; hence, ‘ritzy, putting on the ritz.’ [Fr. Hist.: Wentworth, 429] See : Luxury ). Best Bites contain no refined flour at all and have at least three grams of fiber. Honorable Mentions contain more whole grains than refined flour--that is, the whole-grain flour appears before the refined flour in the ingredient list. They have at least two grams of fiber. 2 Limit Saturated saturated /sat·u·rat·ed/ (sach´ah-rat?ed) 1. denoting a chemical compound that has only single bonds and no double or triple bonds between atoms. 2. unable to hold in solution any more of a given substance. and Trans Fat Saturated fat saturated fat, any solid fat that is an ester of glycerol and a saturated fatty acid.

(That will change in January 2006, when trans fat labeling becomes mandatory.) So you have to do a little detective work. Check the ingredient list.

That's because hydrogenation hydrogenation (hīdrôj`ənā'shən, hī'drəjənā`shən), chemical reaction of a substance with molecular hydrogen, usually in the presence of a catalyst. boosts both trans and saturated fat.

Best Bites ([check][check]) have at least 3 grams of fiber in every ounce, and their only flour is whole-grain. Honorable Mentions ([check]) have at least 2 grams of fiber, and whole-grain flour has to be the first flour in the ingredient list. Both have no more than 240 milligrams of sodium. Best Bites and Honorable Mentions can contain up to 1 gram of saturated fat, as long as they list zero trans fat on their labels or they contain no partially hydrogenated oil. Otherwise, they have to be sat-fat-free and can contain no more than 3 grams of total fat. Crackers that may contain more than a negligible amount of trans fat have an asterisk (1) See Asterisk PBX.
