What is the new biscuit?

The new biscuit, called Wholesense Digestives, contains 30% less sugar and 50% more fibre than a standard digestive.

The recipe still contains the “distinctive, salty-sweet flavour” of a digestive, but is much less fattening.

Bosses trialled the new formulation on hundreds of biscuit lovers to ensure the treats taste the same when dipped into tea.
