• The term whole grain can be wicked misleading. I'm not sure that the FDA has defined what whole grains are where advertising is concerned.

• You have to look at the ingredients. The whole grain are made with whole wheat flour instead of enriched flour. That is what makes them better. The term whole grain can be misleading because the can have "whole grain" in them but not be made entirely from whole grain. These look to be made entirely from whole grain flour.

• Yes, these are made from 100% whole wheat flour. But if you continue reading the ingredients, you'll come across high fructose corn syrup, a negative staple in junk food.

• I used to buy the whole grain fig newtons for my daughter...until I decided to cut all high fructose corn syrup from our diet. It's unfortunate, she really liked them.
