Crackers: Asian Gourmet Seaweed Rice Crackers

I've been consuming rice crackers for years and used to enjoy just one brand. Now there are dozens of gluten-free rice crackers available. I couldn't find a website for Asian Gourmet Seaweed Rice Crackers and they are imported from China. With all of the food related concerns coming out of Chinese imports I'm concerned, but I ate them without a problem.

The packaging clearly states Gluten Free as well as oven baked, low fat, and cholesterol free.

The crackers are light and crunchy, a little bit of salt with seaweed flakes sprinkled on. This is a departure from other rice crackers where the seaweed is actually baked into the cracker. My guess is this is an attempt to create economies of scale for manufacturing. Just change the coating versus the cracker manufacturing ingredients.

Not bad for celiac safe cheese and crackers.

Ingredients:
high grade rice, palm oil, seaweed powder, malto dextrin, salt
May contain traces of dairy, soy, sesame, nuts.
