In a Biskit is a line of snack crackers produced by Nabisco. Originally released in the United States as Chicken in a Biskit in early 1964,[1] the line has since grown to be available internationally with a variety of flavours.
United States version
[edit]In the U.S., the product is flavored with dehydrated cooked chicken,[2] but international formulations differ.
In the United States, the Chicken in a Biskit and Swiss in a Biskit variants were part of a line of crackers known as Flavor Originals that included Better Cheddars, Sociables and Vegetable Thins. Chicken in a Biskit was originally available in original and barbecue flavours, and is now only available in original.
Australian version
[edit]In Australia, Nabisco also produced Vegemite, bacon and nacho flavoured "biskits", as well as more traditional flavours such as barbecue, crispy potato and salt and vinegar. In a Biskit crackers were packaged in a 175–200 gram box or a "Multi-pack" containing 10 bags of 25 grams each. Multi-packs were used in several Nabisco products and were introduced as part of the In a Biskit line in August 1999. The line was made at Kraft's Broadmeadows factory until its closure in 2006.[3] Manufacturing was moved to China.[4] While Australian Kraft Chicken in a Biskit listed chicken meat among the ingredients, an independent chemistry assay detected "no protein from any meat species" in the product.[5]
Production of the 'In a Biskit' range was discontinued in March 2015.[4] In a Biskit returned to Australian shelves in August 2021 with Chicken and Drumstix flavours.[6] In August 2022, Mondelez announced it would release three new flavours inspired by Australian home delivery — Smoky Meatlovers, Cheese Burger and Loaded Cheese.[7]
