What Has Happened to Krackawheats?

I know I feel the same I thought maybe there where off some how but it must be how they are now. Really horrible seem soft and tasteless like there really past there best before date.

I thought you meant these at first, I hope they don't change them as I love them, especially with Philadelphia or butter and jam when craving something sweet.

It’s so disappointing when something you love changes recipe especially when there isn’t a readily available similar item you can switch to

I used to really enjoy krackawheat, I bought a pack the other day, they tasted really awful. I won't be buying them again.

I actually contacted them and they denied changing the recipe! Definitely changed the salt and the colour……no I’m not buying anymore either. May as well just buy regular crackers.

I have never eaten Krackawheats but used to eat a lot of cracker bread. The only problem with cracker bread, once it has been loaded with a filling and left in your lunch box it goes floppy and has no crack anymore.

Yes I know the ones you mean - different but were pleasant. Good for dipping

Spot on, they are awful, everyone seems intent on lowering salt and fat, leave it up to the individual there are plenty of crackers that taste like cardboard

I would rather eat less of the real deal than a pile of cardboard !!

Same fate seems to have suffered by Campbell’s condensed soup

Yes , bring back the old shiney version ... with big crystals of sea salt on one side ! ( The ones I have enjoyed since the 70's ! )

I feel the same bought them yesterday for the first time in ages because of the price. Cannot believe the difference so thin and tasteless very disappointed what a ripoff

I've got an update I've managed to find some crackers which taste like Krackawheat use to. There Jacob's high fibre cream crackers. Problem is there more expensive. But taste good a cross between Krackawheat and cream crackers.

Same as everything else, they reduced the salt and now they are tasteless and crap

The high fibre ones are worth trying for sure

Same experience! Just bought some after a lapse and they are completely different!!! No little crystals of salt stick to the glossy surface of a delicate cracker which was good enough to eat bare. Now I have a packet of expensive bird food. My dogs wouldn't eat them either!

I thought it was just me. The 'new' krackawheat are absolutely nothing like they used to be. They are more brittle and the lovely salty taste that used to hit your taste buds has gone completely. I'm not surprised the manufacturer denied changing the recipe JaneBarker27888 have you ever known any of them say 'Oh yes sorry we did change things but we're hoping you plebs wouldn't notice'. It's no use even complaining now because it makes no difference. Oh well I will try the Jacobs high fibre cracker. How I miss those little crystals of salt.

You describe the loss perfectly. They were worth paying a little extra for. The high fibre ones are OK but not the real salty deal

I think there are a few missing the point, "Crackwheat" is only the name of the cracker, of which the best was McVities.

McVities is the cracker that no one seems to supply and the reason one can only assume is because United Biscuits stopped supplying them to boost profits of Jacob which they also own.

I can not even attempt to imagine the level of stupidity that sits in that boardroom.

The Jacob’s Krackawheat are poor but edible. The McVitie’s Krackawheat are the best & I can’t find them anywhere. I wonder if the Ukraine/Russia war has anything to do with it?
