Saturated fat
Oreo Golden contains 1.1g of saturated fat per biscuit. Three biscuits deliver 3.3g of saturated fat, 16% of the adult daily guideline of 20g.
The saturated fat content is moderate for a biscuit. As with most biscuits, the fat comes from vegetable oil used in the dough and any chocolate or cream components.
Recommended daily maximum saturated fat intake
Age 4 to 6No more than 10g per day
Age 7 to 10No more than 13g per day
Age 11 to 17No more than 17g per day
AdultNo more than 20g per day

Fibre
Oreo Golden contains 0.1g of fibre per biscuit. Three biscuits provide 0.3g of fibre, a small contribution toward the adult daily target of 30g.
Most biscuits made from refined flour are low in fibre. If increasing fibre intake is a priority, oat-based or wholegrain biscuits typically offer more.
Protein
Oreo Golden contains 0.6g of protein per biscuit. Three biscuits provide 1.8g of protein. Biscuits are not a significant protein source; protein in a child's diet comes primarily from dairy, meat, fish, eggs and pulses.

Whole grain and processing
Oreo Golden is made from refined flour, and falls into NOVA group 4 under the food processing classification system used in nutrition research.
Whole grain
Oreo Golden is made from refined flour rather than whole grain. This is typical of most biscuits and is reflected in the low fibre content of 0.1g per biscuit. The bran and germ layers of the grain that contain most of the naturally occurring fibre are removed during the refining process.
Processing (NOVA classification)
Oreo Golden falls into NOVA group 4, ultra-processed foods. This reflects the combination of refined ingredients, added sugar, flavourings, and industrial processing methods used to produce the final product. The NOVA group 4 classification applies to the vast majority of packaged biscuits, regardless of whether they contain wholegrain ingredients.
Salt
Oreo Golden contains 0.09g of salt per biscuit. Three biscuits contain 0.3g of salt. Salt is not the primary nutritional concern for most biscuits; the sugar and saturated fat content are more significant.
