Digestive The Original wheat biscuits from McVitie's in a 250 g pack, a source of fibre with no hydrogenated vegetable oil and no artificial flavours or colours.
McVities Digestive Biscuit packs come in a red box-style wrap with a navy base, the McVitie's logo and the word Digestive in large white script above The Original. A golden biscuit with one bite taken out shows the McVitie's name pressed into its surface. The pack calls them delicious wheat biscuits and source of fibre, and the base strip reads no hydrogenated vegetable oil and no artificial flavours or colours, with a New look, same great taste flash. As general background, a digestive biscuit, sometimes called a sweet-meal biscuit, is a semi-sweet biscuit that originated in Scotland, first developed in 1839. Commonly, digestives are served with tea and coffee, paired with cheddar and other hard cheeses, and crushed with melted butter to make a classic base for cheesecakes, tarts and fridge cakes. They suit hotel room trays, coffee breaks, meeting rooms, staff canteens and afternoon tea. Crumbled, they also make a quick topping for ice cream, fruit crumbles and yoghurt pots.
