Product Info
Why is sugar listed as an ingredient if the Nutrition Facts show 0g of sugar?
Sugar is used in very small amounts during the baking process. However, the amount in the finished product is below the FDA threshold required to declare sugar per serving, which is why the Nutrition Facts panel lists 0 grams of sugar.
Why do you use canola oil?
We use canola oil because it delivers consistent baking performance and helps create the light, crisp texture and flavor Westminster crackers are known for. The canola oil we use is non‑GMO and meets our quality and safety standards.
Are Westminster crackers gluten free?
No. Our crackers are not gluten free. Wheat is the primary ingredient in our products.
Do your products contain peanuts or tree nuts?

Nutrition information is listed on each package. You can also find nutrition details on the product pages of our website.
What makes Westminster crackers different?

Westminster crackers have long been a classic companion to soups and chowders thanks to their light, crisp texture and simple ingredients.

However, we find that they can be enjoyed on many different occasions from regular snacking with meats, veggies, spreads or just on their own.

What’s the difference between Olde Cape Cod and Westminster crackers?
Both crackers share a long and proud heritage, and we are honored to continue crafting each of them today. They are made using our traditional production methods, including a slow, carefully controlled proofing process that spans approximately 16 hours to develop their signature texture and flavor. In fact, the crackers themselves are exactly the same. Both brands are produced using the identical recipe and baking process, ensuring the same consistent quality in every bite. The only difference between them is the brand name on the package.
What’s the difference between Hearty Squares and Saltine Crackers?
Hearty Squares are thicker crackers with a heartier bite, while saltine crackers are thinner and lighter. Our two pack saltines are made with enriched wheat flour, while our mini saltines are made without enriched flour.
