Household Ingredients Compared › Biscuits and Cookies (Singapore)

Biscuits and cookies: what's actually in it?

Sweet biscuits and cookies share one shelf but are not one product. A plain / digestive biscuit is mostly flour, oil and a little sugar. A chocolate-coated biscuit adds a chocolate layer and usually much more sugar. A cream-filled sandwich biscuit is two biscuits with a sweet filling — the filling is often a third of the biscuit. A butter cookie is defined by butter (or, in cheaper versions, by how little butter it actually contains). And a wafer biscuit is thin wafers layered with a cream filling, so its list reads like a wafer plus a filling. The front of the pack rarely makes these distinctions clear; the ingredient list does.

This page covers sweet biscuits and cookies sold in Singapore — plain, chocolate, cream-filled, wholemeal/digestive, butter cookies, wafer biscuits and biscuit sticks. It does not cover cream crackers (already a separate page) or rice crackers (a separate page in this batch). Savoury crackers, savoury sandwich crackers (e.g. cheese-cream Ritz-type crackers) and snack crackers such as Arnott's Shapes are also out of scope here. This page does not give a health score or a "best" pick, and it shows no prices.

The headline, in 30 seconds

Almost every biscuit here starts with wheat flour and sugar in the first three ingredients. The exceptions are the ones where a coating or filling comes first in the recipe — Tim Tam Original lists sugar first, before flour.
The lowest-sugar panelled biscuit is McVitie's Digestives Original, at 15.1 g sugars per 100 g. The highest-sugar panelled biscuits are Tim Tam Original (45.5 g per 100 g) and Lotus Biscoff Vanilla Sandwich (43 g per 100 g). That is a property of the recipe type (plain digestive vs chocolate-coated / cream-filled), not a verdict on any brand.
"Butter cookies" do not always lead with butter. Danisa Traditional Butter Cookies list butter at 17.16% — second ingredient is sugar, butter is third. Check the percentage, not just the name.
The same product name can hide different recipes by market. Oreo, Chips Ahoy! and Pocky each have materially different ingredient lists and nutrition in the EU/UK, US and Asian versions retrieved in this pass. Where a panelled list is not the Singapore pack, it is flagged as such — do not treat it as the SG pack list.
Two panelled products have a direct Singapore link. Julie's Peanut Butter Sandwich is panelled from the Singapore distributor's listing (Guan Chun Ding, Singapore), and Meiji Hello Panda Chocolate is manufactured by Meiji Seika (S) Pte. Ltd. in Singapore. The other panels are flagged non-SG / secondary-source lists for products that are sold in Singapore, and every one of them still needs an SG pack photo to confirm.
Research limit, stated plainly: web search was rate-limited (429) at the start of this pass and the page-fetch tool failed twice with a local worker error, so verification in this pass rests on search-result transcriptions, not on fetched retailer pages. FairPrice publishes no ingredient section in the listings retrieved, and Cold Storage publishes no ingredient list on any product page. That is why the seen-but-not-verified list below is long — it is the honest inventory, not a hidden gap.

Panelled with verbatim lists: 13 products. Seen-but-not-verified: see the list below — it is long, because FairPrice and Cold Storage listings retrieved in this pass carry no ingredient section, and several SG packs still need a photo. Prices are deliberately not shown here: they change weekly and would go stale. This site compares ingredients only.

Source-strength key used on every card: SG retailer / SG distributor = a Singapore-facing retailer or distributor listing; brand / manufacturer = the brand's own specification; Open Food Facts (secondary) = a community database transcription, flagged as secondary; non-SG retailer (flagged) = a UK/EU/US/AU retailer listing for the same product name, never presented as the SG pack.

Caramelised and plain biscuits

Lotus Biscoff Biscuit (original)

Pack size: 250g · Made in: not stated (as printed)

Ingredients: Wheat Flour, Sugar, Vegetable Oils (Palm Oil from sustainable and certified plantations, Rapeseed Oil), Candy Sugar Syrup, Raising Agent (Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate), Soya Flour, Salt, Cinnamon.

Eight ingredients. Wheat flour first, sugar second, then palm and rapeseed oils and candy sugar syrup — a second sugar source. Cinnamon is the flavouring that makes it a caramelised / speculoos-style biscuit; there is no cocoa, no butter and no milk in this list. Flag: panelled from UK/Irish retailer listings (Home Bargains / SuperValu); the SG pack sold in Singapore has not been transcribed in this pass, so verify it before treating this as the SG list. A SuperValu variant lists the oils as (Palm, Soya) rather than (Palm, Rapeseed) — formulations vary by market/batch. Caramelised biscuit Contains: wheat, soya Non-SG retailer — flagged

McVitie's Digestives — The Original

Pack size: 360g · Made in: not stated (as printed)

Ingredients: Flour (55%) (Wheat Flour, Calcium, Iron, Niacin, Thiamin), Vegetable Oil (Palm), Wholemeal Wheat Flour (16%), Sugar, Partially Inverted Sugar Syrup, Raising Agents (Sodium Bicarbonate, Malic Acid, Ammonium Bicarbonate), Salt.

Seven ingredient groups, and the shortest list on this page. Flour is 55% and wholemeal wheat flour another 16% — about 70% wheat in total. Sugar is fourth, after the two flours and palm oil, and a partially inverted sugar syrup is a second sweetener. No milk, no egg, no flavouring and no colouring in this list. Flag: panelled from UK retailer listings (Tesco / Asda / Ocado); FairPrice Singapore lists McVitie's Digestive Biscuits — Original (Twin Pack, 2 × 360 g) for sale, but FairPrice publishes no ingredient section for it, so the SG pack still needs a photo. Some non-UK listings add dried skimmed milk at the end — that is a different market variant, not the list above. Digestive Wholemeal 16% Lowest sugars panelled: 15.1 g / 100 g Non-SG retailer — flagged

Chocolate-coated and chocolate chip biscuits

Arnott's Tim Tam Original (163 g)

Pack size: 163g · Made in: not stated (as printed)

Ingredients: Sugar, Fortified Wheat Flour (Wheat Flour, Niacin, Iron, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Folic Acid), Palm Oil (Contains Soy), Whole Milk Powder, Cocoa Butter*, Cocoa Mass*, Partially Inverted Refiners Syrup, Colours (Ammonia Caramel, Beetroot Red, Cochineal), Vegetable Fats (Shea and/or Sal), Starch (Wheat), Milk Fat, Raising Agents (Ammonium Bicarbonate, Sodium Bicarbonate), Cocoa Powder (0.3%), Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithins, E476), Salt, Flavouring, Flour Treatment Agent (E223 (Sulphites)). *Cocoa ingredients do not originate from Australia.

Sugar first, before flour — the only panelled biscuit where that happens — and three colourings (ammonia caramel, beetroot red, cochineal) plus a second syrup. The biscuit itself is only 0.3% cocoa powder; most of the chocolate character comes from the cocoa butter / cocoa mass in the coating. Flag: panelled from an Australian-formulation listing via a UK import retailer; FairPrice Singapore lists Arnott's Tim Tam Biscuits — Original (200 g), a different pack size, and no SG ingredient section was retrieved, so the SG pack still needs a photo. Chocolate-coated Highest sugars panelled: 45.5 g / 100 g Colours: caramel, beetroot red, cochineal Non-SG retailer — flagged

Chips Ahoy! Original — Real Chocolate Chip Cookies

Pack size: 460g (16.2 oz) · Made in: not stated (as printed)

Ingredients: Unbleached enriched WHEAT (GLUTEN) flour (WHEAT (GLUTEN) flour, niacin, iron, thiamin, riboflavin, folic acid), semi-sweet chocolate chips (sugar, cocoa mass, dextrose, cocoa butter, emulsifier: SOYA lecithin (E322), natural flavouring, skimmed MILK powder), sugar, SOYAbean and/or rapeseed oil, palm oil, high fructose corn syrup, raising agents: sodium carbonates (E500), ammonium phosphates (E342), salt, flavourings, colour: caramel (E150a).

Chocolate chips are the second ingredient — the chips themselves are mostly sugar and cocoa mass — and then sugar again as a separate ingredient, plus high fructose corn syrup as a third sweetener. Flag: panelled from a UK import-retailer listing; the US Open Food Facts list for the same name is near-identical in wording but uses canola oil and gives different nutrition (notably protein 3.03 g vs 6.1 g per 100 g here), so the two must not be mixed. No SG pack list was retrieved in this pass. Chocolate chip Sweeteners: sugar, dextrose, high fructose corn syrup Non-SG retailer — flagged

Glico Pocky — Chocolate (biscuit sticks)

Pack size: 47g (box of 10) · Made in: not stated (as printed)

Ingredients: Wheat Flour (35%), Sugar (30%), Vegetable Oil (14%), Cocoa Powder (8%), Skimmed Milk Powder (3%), Shortening (2%), Whole Wheat Flour (2%), Milk Powder (1%), Thickener (Distarch Phosphates), Emulsifier (Soybean Lecithin), Raising Agent (Sodium Carbonate), Artificial Flavouring.

This listing gives percentages, which most biscuit lists do not: flour 35% and sugar 30% together are almost two-thirds of the stick. Flag — read this before using the card: Pocky has several conflicting formulations by market in this pass. A second UK listing for the same name gives a completely different list (wheat flour, sugar, cocoa mass, vegetable oil, whole milk powder, shortening, malt extract, starch, salt, yeast, cocoa butter, butter…) and different nutrition (182 kcal per 100 g, which is implausibly low for this product and looks like a per-serving figure mislabelled as per 100 g), and the US Open Food Facts list gives yet another oil blend. The percentages list above is the one quoted here, with its matching nutrition; the SG pack — sold in Singapore including a Cookies & Cream family pack seen on Eezee.sg — still needs a photo. Biscuit sticks Sugar 30% Non-SG retailer — flagged

Cream-filled and sandwich biscuits

Lotus Biscoff Vanilla Sandwich Biscuit (150 g)

Pack size: 150g · Made in: not stated (as printed)

Ingredients: Sugar, WHEAT Flour, Vegetable Oils (Palm*, Rapeseed), Candy Sugar Syrup, Raising Agent (Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate), SOYA Flour, Emulsifier (Lecithins (SOYA)), Salt, Cinnamon, Natural Flavouring, *Palm Oil from sustainable and certified plantations.

Unlike the plain Biscoff, this sandwich lists sugar first, before wheat flour — the vanilla filling shifts the order. It is otherwise the same caramelised-biscuit base plus an emulsifier for the filling. Flag: panelled from an Irish retailer listing (SuperValu); SG availability of this exact sandwich variant was not verified in this pass. Sandwich biscuit Sugar first Non-SG retailer — flagged

Oreo Original — Vanilla (EU version)

Pack size: 154g · Made in: Czech Republic (as printed)

Ingredients: WHEAT flour, sugar, palm oil, rapeseed oil, WHEAT starch, fat reduced cocoa powder 4.7%, glucose-fructose syrup, raising agents (ammonium carbonates, potassium carbonates, sodium carbonates), salt, emulsifier (SOYA lecithins), acidity regulator (sodium hydroxide), flavourings.

Two cocoa sandwich biscuits with a vanilla-flavoured filling (29% filling, per the retailer). Cocoa powder is only 4.7% — the dark colour comes from a small amount of cocoa, not from a chocolate coating. Flag — do not use this as the SG list: this is the EU version (country of origin Czech Republic, per SuperValu). The Singapore Oreo is made in Indonesia: Open Food Facts Singapore lists an Oreo Original (barcode 8992760221028, countries sold India and Singapore, manufactured in Indonesia) with different nutrition (471 kcal, fat 21.7 g, saturated fat 9.06 g, sugars 39.9 g, protein 3.62 g, salt 1.27 g per 100 g), but no ingredient list was retrieved for that SG entry in this pass, so it is in seen-but-not-verified, not panelled. FairPrice Singapore lists Oreo Sandwich Cookie — Vanilla and Oreo Mini Sandwich Cookies Sharepack — Vanilla. Sandwich cookie EU version only — flagged SG version differs — see notes

Julie's Peanut Butter Sandwich

Pack size: 90g · Made in: not stated (as printed)

Ingredients (Singapore distributor listing, Guan Chun Ding Pte Ltd, Singapore): Wheat Flour, Peanut Butter (20%), Sugar, Vegetable Oil (Palm Oil), Glucose Syrup, Skimmed Milk Powder, Leavening Agents [Ammonium Bicarbonate (INS503(ii)), Sodium Bicarbonate (INS500(ii)), Disodium Diphosphate (INS450(i))], Corn Starch, Whey Powder, Salt, Cheese Powder, Flavourings, Yeast.

Peanut butter is 20% and is the second ingredient — this is a genuinely peanut-led filling, not a flavoured cream. Cheese powder is an unexpected ingredient in a peanut sandwich; it appears in every Julie's listing retrieved (distributor and halal listings agree). A Shopee Singapore listing gives the same list in a slightly different order (peanut butter, vegetable oil, sugar, glucose syrup…), and a halal listing adds "Permitted Flavouring – Butter Flavour" at the end — the distributor list above is the one quoted. Contains gluten, peanuts and milk derivatives. SG distributor — strongest SG link on this page Peanut butter 20% Allergens: gluten, peanut, milk

Meiji Hello Panda — Chocolate

Pack size: not stated · Made in: not stated (as printed)

Ingredients: Biscuit (56.0%), Wheat Flour 35.4%, Vegetable Oil (Palm) 11.4%, Sugar 7%, Seasoning [Maltodextrin, Hydrolysed Vegetable Protein, Yoghurt Powder (Skim Milk Powder, Whey Powder, Milk Fat), Flavour Enhancers (E627, E631)], Leavening Agents (E503 (ii), E500 (ii)), Salt, Emulsifier (E473), Malt Extract (Barley), Yeast Powder, Natural Colour (E150a), Chocolate Flavoured Cream (44.0%), Sugar 18.3%, Vegetable Oil (Palm, Emulsifier (E475) contains Soya) 14.4%, Cocoa Mass 7.4%, Whole Milk Powder, Emulsifier (Soya Lecithin E322), Artificial Flavourings (Vanilla, Chocolate).

Small panda-shaped filled biscuits: 56% biscuit, 44% chocolate-flavoured cream. Sugar appears twice — 7% in the biscuit and 18.3% in the cream. The manufacturer is listed as Meiji Seika (S) Pte. Ltd. — the Singapore Meiji company — which is the strongest Singapore link for this product, though the SG retail pack itself was not transcribed in this pass. A shorter retailer list (Morueats / Candy Hero) omits the percentages and the biscuit/cream split; the percentages list above is the one quoted. Note: a "Double Chocolate" variant exists with a different list (cocoa in the biscuit as well) and different nutrition — it is not this row. Filled biscuits Biscuit 56% / cream 44% Manufacturer: Meiji Seika (S) Pte. Ltd.

Garden Lemon Puff (component of Garden Assorted Biscuits)

Pack size: not stated · Made in: not stated (as printed)

Ingredients: Wheat Flour, Vegetable Shortening (Palm Oil) (Contains Antioxidant [Soy Lecithin, Ascorbyl Palmitate, a-Tocopherol]), Sugar, Salt (Contains Anticaking Agent [Sodium Ferrocyanide]), Margarine (Contains Emulsifier [Mono- & Di-Glycerides Of Fatty Acids], Antioxidant [Soy Lecithin, Ascorbyl Palmitate, a-Tocopherol], Acidity Regulator [Citric Acid]), Leavening/Raising Agent (Sodium Carbonates), Whole Milk Powder, Malt Extract (Wheat), Lemon Juice Concentrate (Contains Acidity Regulator [Citric Acid], Thickener [Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose, Sodium Alginate, Pectins], Antioxidant [Ascorbic Acid], Preservatives [Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Sulphite], Artificial Colour [Carotenes, Copper Chlorophyllins, Titanium Dioxide]), Yeast (Contains Emulsifier [Sorbitan Monostearate]), Flour Treatment Agent (Calcium Sulphate, Ammonium Chloride, Proteases, Amylases), Artificial Colour (Carotenes) (Contains Stabiliser [Starch Sodium Octenyl Succinate], Antioxidant [Sodium Isoascorbate, Triphosphates, a-Tocopherol], Acidity Regulator [Citric Acid]), Emulsifier (Soy Lecithin), Artificial Flavouring (Contains Emulsifier [Sucrose Acetate Isobutyrate], Antioxidant [a-Tocopherol]).

The longest list on this page, and the clearest example of why a short list and a long list are different products: the lemon flavour here comes from lemon juice concentrate plus artificial colour and artificial flavouring, with three separate antioxidant systems listed inside the shortening, margarine and colour. Flag: this is the Lemon Puff component list inside Garden Assorted Biscuits, from a UK Chinese-supermarket retailer (Wai Yee Hong); Garden is a Hong Kong brand, and no standalone SG pack list for Garden Lemon Puff was retrieved in this pass.

Butter cookies and wafers

Danisa Traditional Butter Cookies

Pack size: 200g (OFF entry) · Made in: not stated (as printed)

Ingredients (Open Food Facts, 200 g entry): Wheat Flour, Sugar, Butter 17.16%, Vegetable Oil (Coconut-Contains Antioxidant Tocopherol, e307b), Glucose Syrup, Eggs, Desiccated Coconut, Seedless Raisins, Skim Milk Powder, Salt, Raising Agent (Ammonium Bicarbonate, e503), Flavoring (Vanillin).

Butter is 17.16% — third ingredient, after flour and sugar — with coconut oil as a second fat, plus desiccated coconut and seedless raisins in the dough. Contains wheat, eggs and milk. Flag: Open Food Facts is secondary. Two Danisa entries retrieved give different nutrition for what looks like the same product (the 200 g entry used here: 507 kcal per 100 g; a 90 g entry: 533 kcal per 100 g, with fat 26.7 g and sugars 23.3 g) — the 200 g entry is quoted here because its nutrition cross-checks against an independent retailer listing (Fengany: 507 kcal, sodium 163 mg per 100 g), and the 90 g figures are not used. Danisa is sold in Singapore (the blue tin is a common SG gift tin); the SG pack still needs a photo. Butter cookies Butter 17.16% Open Food Facts (secondary) — flagged

Khong Guan Butter Coconut Biscuits (200 g)

Pack size: 200g · Made in: not stated (as printed)

Ingredients (Open Food Facts): Wheat flour, sugar, vegetable oil (palm oil), milk fat, desiccated coconut, milk powder, leavening (ammonium bicarbonate), salt, artificial food flavor, colored with turmeric, sodium metabisulfite (preservative).

FairPrice Singapore lists Khong Guan Biscuits — Butter Coconut (200 g, Halal), which is the SG sale evidence for this row; the ingredient list itself is an Open Food Facts transcription, not a FairPrice ingredient section (FairPrice publishes none for it). Note the name: "butter coconut" here means milk fat plus desiccated coconut — there is no butter percentage stated, unlike Danisa's 17.16%. A French-language Open Food Facts entry for Khong Guan Square Puff Biscuits (countries sold: France) is a different product and is not used here.

Loacker Quadratini Napolitaner (hazelnut wafer cubes)

Pack size: 125g (OFF cross-check entry) · Made in: not stated (as printed)

Ingredients: Wheat flour, Coconut oil, Glucose syrup, Sugar, Hazelnuts 11% in the cream filling, Whey powder (milk), Skimmed milk powder, Soy flour, Fat-reduced cocoa, Barley malt extract, Raising agents (sodium hydrogen carbonate, disodium diphosphate), Salt, Emulsifier soy lecithins, Spices, Bourbon vanilla pods. May contain peanuts and almonds.

Crispy wafer cubes with hazelnut cream filling (74% filling, per the manufacturer specification). Hazelnuts are 11% of the cream filling — not 11% of the whole cube. Flag: panelled from the manufacturer's specification via Labelbank, cross-checked against Open Food Facts (same list, 515–517 kcal). Retailer listings disagree on the hazelnut figure (9% in some, 11% in others) and on sugars (one Aeon Malaysia listing gives 49 g sugars per 100 g, against 24–26 g in the specification and every other listing — that 49 g figure is treated as an error and is not used). SG sale is via import channels; no SG pack was transcribed. Wafer cubes Hazelnuts 11% of filling Brand specification — flagged, SG pack not transcribed

FairPrice's own similar-products listings retrieved in this pass confirm these sweet biscuits on sale in Singapore (no ingredient sections were published for any of them in the listings retrieved, so they are inventory, not panels, unless panelled above from another source):

Excluded on purpose: Hup Seng Cream Crackers (Cap Ping Pong) — a cream cracker, already a separate page; its ingredient list was retrieved (wheat flour, palm oil, corn starch, glucose syrup, leavening agent, sugar, full cream milk powder, salt, yeast) but it is not panelled here, per the task scope. Rice crackers are a separate page in this batch and are not panelled here either.

Their shelves are the biggest remaining gap, and in-store pack photography is the only route that closes them, because Cold Storage publishes no ingredient lists and FairPrice publishes them only sometimes.
House-brand and bakery biscuits, seasonal / limited-edition biscuits, and biscuit assortments sold as gift tins — inventoried only where named above; assortment tins contain several biscuit types under one list and must be panelled per biscuit type, not as one row.

Nutrition — what the numbers say

All figures in the table are as sold, per 100 g. Sugars are total sugars as printed, not added sugars, unless the source states an added-sugars figure separately (none of the panelled nutrition sources does, except where noted in the research notes). No official Singapore Nutri-Grade (A–D) was found printed on any of these biscuit listings in this pass, so none is quoted here; no grade has been assigned.

Salt and sodium: salt = sodium × 2.5. The table shows sodium as printed (in mg) with the salt equivalent in brackets. Where the source printed salt only, sodium is derived as salt ÷ 2.5 and the salt figure is the printed one. Sodium is not presented as salt, and salt is not presented as sodium.

Total vs added sugars: most Singapore packs list total sugars, not added sugars. A total-sugars figure is never labelled here as "added sugar". The ingredient list remains the evidence for added sugar (sugar, glucose syrup, candy sugar syrup, high fructose corn syrup, partially inverted sugar syrup) versus naturally occurring sugars.

Open Food Facts is a community database and is flagged as secondary where used: the pack and the retailer nutrition section take precedence if they disagree. Figures marked "not stated" were not in the source retrieved; they are not estimated, borrowed from another variant, or copied across flavours. Where two sources disagreed (Danisa 200 g vs 90 g; Loacker sugars 24 g vs 49 g; Pocky nutrition across markets), the figure used is the one that cross-checks, and the disagreement is recorded in the research notes — the other figure is not used.

Sodium runs from 132 mg (Tim Tam Original, salt 0.33 g) to 520 mg (McVitie's Digestives Original, salt 1.3 g) per 100 g — the lowest-sugar biscuit on the page is also the saltiest per 100 g, which is why sugar and salt have to be read separately. Protein runs from 3.5 g (Biscoff Vanilla Sandwich) to 10 g (Pocky Chocolate) per 100 g.

Seen but not verified (nutrition): no per-100 g nutrition panel was verified in this pass for Julie's Peanut Butter Sandwich, Khong Guan Butter Coconut Biscuits, Garden Lemon Puff, any Oreo SG (Indonesia-made) variant, any Tim Tam variant other than Original 163 g, any McVitie's variant other than Original, any Lotus Biscoff variant other than the two panelled, any Loacker flavour other than Quadratini Napolitaner, any Chips Ahoy! variant other than Original, any Pocky flavour other than Chocolate, or any Hello Panda flavour other than Chocolate. Their ingredient panels are unchanged; their nutrition figures are not estimated here, and no panelled row's figures are copied onto another variant. Note on Hello Panda: the sodium figure (299 mg, salt equivalent 0.75 g) comes from a Malaysian retailer listing, while the UK listing prints salt 0.7 g — a small rounding/market difference, recorded in the research notes, not reconciled by inventing a figure.

How to read a biscuit label — the jargon, in plain English

Digestive: A plain wheatmeal biscuit, originally made with wholemeal flour and raising agents. "Digestive" is a biscuit type, not a health claim — McVitie's Digestives Original still lists sugar fourth and palm oil second.
Caramelised biscuit / speculoos: A thin, crisp biscuit flavoured with cinnamon and made with candy sugar syrup, e.g. Lotus Biscoff. The brown colour comes from caramelised sugar, not cocoa.
Sandwich biscuit / sandwich cookie: Two biscuits with a filling between them. The filling percentage matters: Oreo's filling is 29%, Hello Panda's cream is 44% of the biscuit, Loacker's hazelnut cream is 74% of the wafer cube.
Butter cookies: Cookies where butter is a named, quantified ingredient. Danisa states butter at 17.16%. A product called "butter cookies" without a butter percentage has not shown its butter content — check the list.
Partially inverted sugar syrup / glucose syrup / high fructose corn syrup / candy sugar syrup: Different liquid sweeteners. They are all added sugars, even though only one of them is called "sugar" on the list. A biscuit can list sugar, a syrup and dextrose — three sweeteners — in one list.
Raising agents (E500, E503, etc.): Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), ammonium bicarbonate and similar — they make the biscuit rise and crisp. They are not sweeteners and not preservatives.
E322 (soya lecithin) / E476: Emulsifiers — they keep fat and water mixed in chocolate coatings and cream fillings. E322 is lecithin, usually from soya; E476 is polyglycerol polyricinoleate, used in chocolate.
"May contain" vs "contains": "Contains" lists allergens in the recipe (wheat, milk, soya, peanut, egg). "May contain" means the biscuit is made where that allergen is also handled — a cross-contact warning, not an ingredient.

What this page is not

Not a health score, and not a "best" pick. Plain, chocolate-coated, cream-filled, butter and wafer biscuits are different products, and this page does not rank them.
Not a taste test, and not a price comparison. Prices change weekly; ingredients change less often, but still change.
Not complete. Only 13 products are panelled, and 11 of them are flagged non-SG or secondary-source lists — the SG pack for every one of them still needs a photograph. The FairPrice inventory and the long seen-but-not-verified list are the start of the next pass, not a finished shelf.
Not a cream-cracker or rice-cracker page. Hup Seng Cream Crackers and rice crackers are covered on their own pages.

Sources and method

Checked 5–6 November 2026 from: FairPrice Singapore similar-products listings (inventory — no ingredient sections published in the listings retrieved); Eezee.sg biscuit brand filter (442 results, brand universe only); Singapore distributor listing for Julie's (Guan Chun Ding Pte Ltd, guanchunding.com.sg); Shopee Singapore listings for Julie's and Hup Seng (inventory / cross-check only); Open Food Facts (Danisa 200 g, Khong Guan Butter Coconut, Oreo SG entry — nutrition only for the SG entry, countries sold India/Singapore); UK/Irish retailer listings for Lotus Biscoff (Home Bargains, SuperValu), McVitie's Digestives (Tesco, Asda, Ocado), Oreo EU (Ocado, SuperValu), Tim Tam (Candymail), Chips Ahoy! (Poppin Candy), Pocky (Yaubros, Candy Hero), Hello Panda (Morrisons, MyAeon2go for sodium); manufacturer specification for Loacker Quadratini Napolitaner (Labelbank); Wai Yee Hong retailer listing for Garden Lemon Puff. Full per-fact source list is in the accompanying research notes. Research limits in this pass: browser search returned HTTP 429 (rate-limited) for the first four queries and again for one later query; the page-fetch tool failed twice with a local worker error, so no retailer page was fetched in this pass and all lists are search-result transcriptions, cross-checked where two sources agreed. Nutrition section added 5–6 November 2026: figures are standardised to per 100 g where the source gives per-100 figures; per-serving-only figures are labelled as such and are not converted; sugars are total sugars as printed, not added sugars, unless the source states added sugars; salt = sodium × 2.5. Where a full pack list could not be verified, the product is in seen-but-not-verified instead of being panelled.
