See the Wheat Thins Original label and score
Are Wheat Thins healthy? Wheat Thins Original lists whole grain wheat flour first, then canola oil, sugar, malt syrup and refiner's syrup; the USDA FoodData Central record shows 4 g added sugars and 200 mg sodium per 16 pieces, and it scores 63 for the canola. We compare it with Triscuit and two unsweetened crackers (as of October 2026).
