The food is..Triscuit, Hint of salt...here are the ingrediants:

1. Whole grain soft winter wheat
2. Soybean Oil
3. Salt...50 mg per serving.. (each serving is 6 crackers)...

now regular Triscuits are 150 mg per serving..but these are much less
......It is a processed food, but much better than most...anyway..there are a few processed foods that are very low..in stuff..but,

they don't usually taste as good as those with lots of stuff......
