The front of the tube shows a Christmas tree outline and an oven baked, not fried badge. The full product name on the pack is Cheese Flavour Snack Biscuits.A Christmas editionTreeselets are part of Jacob's Christmas knits, with Mini Cheddars, Mini Twiglets and Crinklys Cheese and Onion. Some retail listings also sell the tube as a Cheeselets Christmas caddy.The ingredientsAccording to the published pack listing, the biscuits are made from flour (wheat flour with calcium, iron, niacin and thiamin), palm oil, dried powdered cheese (3%, milk), a cheese flavouring (milk), dried autolysed yeast, salt and a raising agent (ammonium bicarbonate).The cheese flavouringThe cheese flavouring lists wheat flour, salt, dried cheese powder (milk), monosodium glutamate, dried yeast extract, dextrose, a flavouring containing milk, lactic, citric and malic acids, garlic powder, rapeseed oil, paprika extract for colour and cayenne extract.Cheese, yeast and MSGReal cheese powder is 3% of the recipe, and the savoury depth comes from yeast: dried autolysed yeast in the dough and yeast extract in the flavouring, with monosodium glutamate. Yeast extract has the savoury taste of a stock cube.Three acidsLactic acid, the acid of cheese, citric acid and malic acid, the acid of sharp apples, give the flavouring a tang.A hint of cayenneCayenne extract sits at the very end of the flavouring. It adds warmth to the cheese rather than heat, as a pinch of cayenne does in a cheese straw.Oven bakedThe listing says the biscuits are oven baked, and the front says not fried. The palm oil is the fat in the dough, as butter is in shortbread.Ammonium bicarbonateAmmonium bicarbonate is the traditional raising agent of thin, crisp biscuits. It releases gas in the oven, making the dough light, and bakes off completely.Fortified flourUK wheat flour is fortified with calcium, iron, niacin and thiamin, which is why those four appear in brackets after the flour.Palm oilThe listing says the oil palm products in the biscuits are certified to come from RSPO segregated sources.Numbers for a servingThe label gives 127 kcal (532 kJ), 6.8g of fat, 3.3g of saturates, 13.7g of carbohydrate, 0.2g of sugars, 0.9g of fibre, 2.4g of protein and 0.6g of salt for a 25g serving. That is about 6% of an average adult's daily energy reference intake, 10% of the fat and 10% of the salt.Numbers per 100gPer 100g the label gives 509 kcal (2129 kJ), 27.3g of fat, 13g of saturates, 54.8g of carbohydrate, 0.7g of sugars, 3.5g of fibre, 9.5g of protein and 2.3g of salt.Reading the front of the packOn the UK front of pack scale, per 100g, fat, saturates and salt are red and sugars, at 0.7g, are green. A 25g serving is a small bowlful, and the tube holds about eleven.SugarsSugar itself is not on the list: the only sugar is dextrose in the flavouring, and the label gives 0.7g of sugars per 100g and 0.2g in a serving.Dried autolysed yeastDried autolysed yeast is yeast that has broken down in its own enzymes, which releases savoury flavours; it is a close relative of yeast extract.Garlic and rapeseed oilGarlic powder gives the flavouring a savoury edge, and a little rapeseed oil helps it coat the biscuits.Protein and fibreThe label gives 9.5g of protein and 3.5g of fibre per 100g, and 2.4g of protein in a 25g serving.SaltThe label gives 2.3g of salt per 100g, red on the front of pack scale, and 0.6g in a 25g serving.Allergens and dietThe published ingredients highlight wheat and milk: wheat in the flour and the flavouring, milk in the cheese powder and the flavouring. The published listing gives no may contain advice.
