Crispbread and breadsticks: what's actually in them?

Crispbread and breadsticks are the simplest products on this site: crispbread is usually rye flour, yeast and salt — sometimes just three ingredients — baked dry and crisp; breadsticks (grissini) are wheat flour, olive oil, yeast and salt. The difference between brands is mostly which grain is first, whether sugar or seeds are added, and how much oil. This page keeps crispbread and breadsticks in one page but in separate groups, because the grain is different.

This page does not give a health score or a "best" pick. It shows the ingredient list as printed, with the country of manufacture as printed where a source states it.

Panelled with verbatim lists: 7 products. Seen-but-not-verified: see the list below. No prices are shown: they change weekly and would go stale.

Seen but not verified — do not panel until checked

• Wasa Crispbread — Thin Rye — US list retrieved (whole grain rye flour, flaxseeds, blue poppy seeds, yeast, sea salt, salt); SG sale of this variant not verified in this pass.
• Wasa Crispbread — Hearty Rye / other Wasa variants — Other Wasa variants are sold in Singapore; only the four above were panelled from lists retrieved.
• Ryvita crispbread — Sold in Singapore import aisles; no SG verbatim list retrieved in this pass.
• Finn Crisp crispbread — Sold in Singapore import aisles; no SG verbatim list retrieved in this pass.
• Cheese Club SG Grissini, Artisanal — Listed at Cheese Club SG as wheat flour, yeast and water, made in Italy; no full verbatim list was retrieved (the listing gives a description, not a list), so it is not panelled.
• Biona Organic Sesame / Quinoa Grissini — UK organic lists retrieved; SG sale not verified and the retailer states it does not ship to Singapore, so not panelled as SG products.

Nutrition — what the numbers say

All figures in the sortable table are as sold, per 100g or per 100ml, as printed by the source. Click a column header to sort low to high; click again for high to low. Cells marked "not stated" always sort last — a dash is missing data, not zero. No per-100g nutrition panel was verified for any crispbread or breadstick in this pass; the table is all not stated rather than filled from another variant.

Salt and sodium: salt = sodium × 2.5. The table shows sodium as printed (in mg) with the salt equivalent in brackets. 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". Where a source states an added-sugars figure separately, it is noted. The ingredient list remains the evidence for added sugar (sucrose, sugar, glucose syrup, maltitol) versus naturally occurring sugars (lactose in milk, fructose in fruit).

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.

Seen but not verified (nutrition): all seven panelled products — no per-100g nutrition panel was verified in this pass.

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

Crispbread

A dry, crisp flatbread, usually rye-based, baked with little or no fat; the classic Swedish/German style.

Grissini

Thin Italian breadsticks, usually wheat flour, olive oil, yeast and salt.

Sourdough (in crispbread)

A fermented rye dough starter used as an ingredient; it gives a tangy note, not a soft loaf.

Barley malt extract

A sweet-tasting extract from malted barley; it adds flavour and colour, and is not listed as sugar.

Whole grain rye flour

Rye flour milled from the whole rye grain; the first ingredient in most Wasa crispbreads.

What this page is not

• Not a health score, and not a "best" pick. This page does not rank products.
• Not a taste test, and not a price comparison. Prices change weekly; ingredients change less often, but still change.
• Not complete. The products in seen-but-not-verified are not yet panelled, for the verification reasons given, not hidden.
