Cookie crumbs is unlikely to be a breakout trigger for most people.
One serving brings some glycemic load and a little saturated fat or omega-6.
Why this score
- Glycemic: 15 g carbs at GI 65 = glycemic load 9.8 (low to medium). A small, slow rise in blood sugar.
- Dairy: none.
- Inflammation: 1.5 g saturated fat and 0.4 g omega-6, a small load.

Estimates for a typical serving eaten with a meal. Real foods vary by brand and recipe.
Not medical advice. This score is for cookie crumbs on its own. What you eat with it changes the result: protein and fat slow the sugar spike, and breakouts usually show up 3 to 7 days after a meal, which is why SpotBite tracks your meals over time rather than judging one food. Diet is one factor among many (hormones, genetics, skincare, stress, sleep).
