Double Stuf vs Classic OREO

When you look at the nutrition facts label for OREO Double Stuf cookies, you may notice that the 140 calories is less than classic OREO cookies, which has 160 calories per serving.

Don’t forget to read the fine print on the nutrition label. Total calories is based on a measured serving size. The two types of cookies have different serving sizes.

One serving of OREO Double Stuf is 29 grams, which is about two cookies. By comparison, one serving of regular OREO cookies is 34 grams, about three cookies.

Saturated Fat

A single serving (2 cookies) of Double Stuf OREOs has 7 grams of total fat, including 2.5 grams of saturated fat. Two grams may not seem significant, but saturated fat is one of the nutrients that the U.S. FDA recommends “getting less of”.

Moreover, Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting calories from saturated fat to less than 10% of total calories.

Saturated Fat is found in various foods, including desserts, deli meats, chocolate candies, and tropical oils, among other foods.

There are approximately 12 calories from saturated fat in each Double Stuf cookie. Again, that may seem trivial, but we believe it’s good to have the information.

If you eat more than a measured serving, then you’ll know that the amount of saturated fat increases proportionately.

Sugars

Another recommendation found in the Dietary Guidelines is to get fewer calories from sugars that are added during the processing of foods.

These are in contrast to natural sugars found in whole foods such as fruit.

Added Sugars

All 13 grams of total sugars are Added Sugars. The recipe for OREOs includes sugar and high fructose corn syrup.

The general recommendation is to limit calories from added sugars to no more than 10% of total calories.

One serving of Double Stufs has about 50 calories from added sugars. That’s 37% of the 140 total calories per serving.

SUMMARY OF AMOUNT OF SUGARS IN OREO COOKIES

  • 13g added sugars
  • 50 calories from added sugars
  • Ingredients include sugar and high fructose corn syrup

Ingredients and Allergens in Double Stuf OREOs

  • Made with palm oil, high fructose corn syrup, and an artificial flavor.
  • Contains a bioengineered food ingredient.

Ingredients

There are 11 main ingredients in classic OREO cookies. Here is the complete list of ingredients in the Double Stuf OREOs.

Ingredients in Double Stuf OREO:Sugar, Unbleached Enriched Flour, Palm Oil, Soybean Oil and/or Canola Oil, Cocoa processed with Alkali, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Baking Soda and/or Calcium Phosphate (leavening agent), Salt, Soy Lecithin, Chocolate, and Artificial Flavor

  • Unbleached Enriched Flour includes wheat flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamine mononitrate (Vitamin B1), riboflavin (Vitamin B2), and folic acid.

Sugar is Listed First

The list of ingredients in OREO Double Stuf chocolate sandwich cookies is the same as the classic OREO cookies, with one exception.

The only difference is that sugar is the first ingredient in Double Stuf.

U.S. FDA requires that packaged food “ingredients are listed in descending order of predominance by weight.” In general terms, that means the food contains more of the first ingredient on the list than the last ingredient.

With that in mind, what do you think of a snack that has sugar listed as the first ingredient? Now, I know these are sweet cookies so it’s not a surprise. But, it does give me pause when selecting what to put in my grocery cart.

Ingredient List Has Changed

When we first started reviewing OREOs and the list of ingredients in these cookies, Cornstarch and Vanillin were included.

Vanillin is an artificial flavor. At some point over the past couple of years, both of those ingredients have been removed from the list of ingredients.

However, as you can see above, the ingredient list still includes a generic “artificial flavor,” but I cannot confirm the source of the flavor.

How Do You Eat An OREO Cookie?

We’re not here to provide diet tips or advice. Rather, we summarize and compare nutrients and ingredients in popular foods. And we love to hear from our readers.

Given the list of ingredients – particularly with these Double Stuf cookies with sugar dominating the list – what are your thoughts for serving OREOs as a snack?

And if you do serve them, how does your family eat an OREO?

I admit, I rarely eat packaged cookies. But, when I do snack on an OREO I start by nibbling the edge of the chocolate wafer.

I whittle away the entire rim then take a full bite of both cookie wafer and cream filling. I do the same with the tasty Lu Milk Chocolate Biscuit cookies.

Some people twist and others like to dunk. What is your favorite way to eat an OREO cookie?
