The McVitie’s Digestive biscuit recipe was changed in two stages in 2009 and 2010, removing sustainable palm oil and replacing it with the reduced saturated fat sunflower oil. However, some consumers have fed back that they missed the taste, texture and ‘dunkability’ of the classic recipe.
United Biscuits has added that those seeking a lower saturated alternative have the option of buying McVitie’s Digestive Light, which has the same saturated fat content as (and 30% less total fat than) the current McVitie’s Digestives recipe.
McVitie’s Chocolate Digestives are unaffected, as this recipe hasn’t changed.
