Cheese crackers

Savory, cheesy, and slightly salty, with a light, crisp crunch.

Lens analyzed

Cheese crackers are small, crisp baked snacks flavored with real or artificial cheese, often shaped as little squares, fish, or other novelty shapes. They're a popular packed-lunch and snack item, especially with kids.

Where it comes from

Cheese-flavored crackers became a mainstream snack food in North America through the mid-20th century, building on earlier plain cracker traditions with the addition of cheese powder for a bolder, snackable flavor.

Buying it

Check the ingredient list for real cheese versus cheese-flavored seasoning, since brands vary in how much actual dairy cheese they contain.

Storing it

Store cheese crackers in their sealed bag or an airtight container in the pantry, where they stay crisp for weeks.

Keeps about 6 months in the pantry.
