we took an unofficial pollat a recent cocktail party and it was unanimous, wewould buy more Triscuits if you could get low fat /low sodium in the flavoured varieties. We don’t want all the salt or fat!

Travis is 100% correct. And for those who avoid MSG “on principle” — don’t ever cook meat alongside sodium, because some of the molecules will interact with naturally occurring glutamate and independently form MSG molecules.

Oh wait… meat already has sodium in it because it’s muscle or organ tissue.

MSG does not mean ‘modified food starch’. In fact, the majority of the foods you buy that contain starches that are “modified”, and it has not a thing to do with MSG, which is actually monosodium glutamate. It seems a small section of the population experiences an adverse response to MSG, while the majority of people do not. If you experience MSG illness, there is no reason to be concerned; simply avoid foods that contain MSG. If you do not experience MSG illness, there is absolutely no reason to be concerned about MSG containing foods at all.

I hope this is clarifying, as the MSG info posted here up to this point is completely uninformed.

i am totally addicted to the Triscuits with rosemary and olive oil. Eat almost a box a day. However, as anyone noticed that about half of the crackers do have the rosemary and olive oil flavoring, but the other half taste just like the original Triscuits. Somehow, I don’t think that should be the case. Let me know if anyone else has noticed this defect.

Regarding garden herb triscuits and MSG…it’s been bugging me that a few years back, I made a decision to stop eating my beloved triscuits because MSG was on the ingredients list. Now, it’s suddenly fallen off the list with the newer packaging, meanwhile the cracker still packs the big punch of “flavor” it always has. I feel strongly that MSG is still in the product, in my opinion. Maybe the oo and cracked pepper have it too yet undisclosed, which explains why people are getting sick time and time again. Food for thought, that’s all. I find truth in labeling to be important, especially now that companies are trying to get on the “healthy” bandwagon, potentially cutting corners at consumers’ expense.

We live in UK but have recently become fans of Triscuits after visiting family in the US. We brought back some packs but I’m desperate to find some more on sale here – and not at over £4.00 a pack! (As in “the American Sweet store”) Any suggestions anyone?

I just buy the “Hint Of Salt’ Triscuits. All other varities are so salty I can’t eat them. It’s terrible as I wish I could enjoy some of the other varities.

Going back to my comment Apr 06, 09;
Still too much salt. After the store ran out of “Hint of Salt”, there has not been anymore.

DON’t YOU KNOW OLD PEOPLE DO NOT NEED THAT MUCH SALT?????

One would think the world travels on salt. Triscuits don’t have to. Do something about the salt content.

We are currently at anchor on the French/Dutch island of St. Martin / Sint-Maarten in the Caribbean. I was shocked to see Triscuits for $4.00/box and today I bought 2 boxes for $3.60 each. I was surprised when I did a Google search and found out that $3.60 was around the “normal” price. Wow!

They’re good, but… OUCH!
