Thanks. I just checked, It said 42% wheat flour. I was misled by sugar free.

Recently i came across 'sugar free biscuits' and i decided to try them as a snack. About two hours later i checked my bs and it was 9.1. I had eaten five biscuits. I felt disappointed as i was happy that i found something nice to snack on without affecting my bs levels.
