Abstract
A low fat content, seasoned, cereal-based snack food having a low moisture content is produced. An adhesive for the seasoning is an at least partially amorphous form of a mixture of at least one monosaccharide, preferably glucose, and at least one polyhydric, aliphatic, saturated alcohol having 3 to 6 carbon atoms, preferably glycerol. The adhesive is applied to the snack food by direct spraying on the snack food or by encapsulating the adhesive in a fat and blending the encapsulated adhesive with the snack food.
