Ginger snaps
Product Insights
Ginger snaps are a sweet, spiced biscuit marketed by Sainsbury’s. They belong to the Sugary snacks and Biscuits and cakes groups, carry a Nutri‑Score of E and are classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4), reflecting their high sugar (25.5 g per 100 g), moderate fat (13.4 g) and added sodium (0.78 g) content. While they provide a modest amount of fiber (2.1 g) and protein (5.7 g), the product’s high added sugars, saturated fat (6.2 g) and the presence of palm oil and a leavening additive mean it should be consumed sparingly as part of a varied diet.
