Common mistakes
-
Overlooking the pack weight
Crispbread comes in packs of various sizes. A 125 g pack doesn’t contain the same amount as a 375 g pack.
Check the weight of the exact product and consider how many guests will be eating it.
-
Confusing wholemeal with gluten-free
Leksands Knäcke original contains wholemeal rye and gluten. According to Jumbo, Wasa Protein Wheat also contains wheat and wheat gluten.
If you need a gluten-free option, look for an explicit statement on the product and read the allergen list.
-
Assuming all crispbread contains iodine
The possibility that iodine may be present through bakers’ salt doesn’t tell you whether a particular pack contains iodine.
Check the packaging or ask the manufacturer about the ingredients in the exact product.
