What it is

Oreo cookies are a popular sandwich cookie made by Nabisco. They consist of two chocolate "wafers" with a sweet creme filling sandwiched between them. The wafers are typically made from flour, sugar, cocoa, and oil, while the creme filling is primarily sugar, oil, and flavoring.

Why it's used

Oreo cookies are primarily used as a standalone snack food. They are also frequently incorporated into desserts like ice cream, milkshakes, cakes, and pies, often crushed or used as a topping. Manufacturers use them for their distinct chocolate flavor and crunchy texture.

Health notes

Oreo cookies are not evaluated by the FDA as a food additive. They are a finished food product. Like most processed snacks high in sugar and fat, regular consumption in large amounts may contribute to health issues associated with excess calorie intake. The US National Academies have established upper intake levels for added sugars, but these are general dietary recommendations, not specific to Oreo cookies.

Allergen info

Oreo cookies contain wheat and soy. They may also contain milk and/or sesame, as indicated on product packaging. They are not a major allergen source for fish, shellfish, tree nuts, or peanuts. Gluten is present due to wheat.
