Olympic Biscuit and Snacks Product List in Bangladesh

Olympic Industries is one of the country’s largest biscuit makers, and the range here reflects that — sandwich and cream biscuits, Marie and toast biscuits, cookies, chanachur, candy, instant noodles and a pair of batteries.

Most of it sits under Snacks. The sections below group the range by what it is, and cover two things a packaged-snack range makes it useful to say: how to read the label, and what sugar free actually means.

The Product List, and What This Page Is

The grid above this text is the full list, and it updates itself as items go in and out of stock. A printed or downloadable version tends to be out of date by the time anyone finds it.

Trade enquiries are a different thing. Arogga is a retail pharmacy and marketplace rather than a distributor, so what follows is what is available to buy rather than to stock. Distribution questions go to the manufacturer.

Sandwich and Cream Biscuits

The cream-filled side runs to:

• Olympic Bourbon Chocolate Sandwich Biscuits 260g – Tasty Chocolate Cream Filled
• Olympic Oreno Chocolate Cream Sandwich Biscuits 255g
• Olympic Knock Chocolate Wafer – Chocolate Cream Filled Delicious Biscuit Pack (12 x 25g)
• Olympic Kheer Malai Biscuits 55g

The filling is where most of the sugar and fat in a sandwich biscuit sits, which is why two biscuits of similar weight can be quite different once the cream is counted. The panel on the back settles it in about ten seconds.

Marie, Toast and Everyday Biscuits

The plain side is the deepest part of the catalogue:

• Olympic Marie Gold Biscuit 190g and Olympic Milk Marie Biscuits – Soft & Delicious, 200g
• Olympic Daily Toast Biscuit 210g, Olympic Premium Toast Biscuits 185gm and Olympic Ghee Toast Biscuits 185g
• Olympic Butter Bite biscuit 165g and Olympic Ghee Bite Biscuits Standard 34g
• Olympic Magic Pineapple Biscuit 165g and Olympic Orange Biscuits – Sweet Orange-Flavored Crunch, 140g
• Olympic G Plus Biscuit Milk 17g and Olympic Energy Plus Biscuits – High-Energy, Tasty & Crunchy Biscuits (62g Pack )

A Marie or a toast biscuit is the plainest thing in the range and the one most often given to children and to people who are unwell. That is reasonable — they are light and they keep — but plain does not mean sugar-free, and a small biscuit eaten often adds up faster than a larger one eaten occasionally.

What “Sugar Free” Means on a Biscuit

Olympic Sugar Free Biscuits 216g is worth a section of its own, because the phrase is widely misread — most often by exactly the people who buy it.

It does not mean carbohydrate free

Sugar free means no added sugar, or sugar replaced by a sweetener. The biscuit is still made of flour, and flour is starch, and starch becomes glucose in the body. A sugar-free biscuit therefore still raises blood sugar.

If you have diabetes, treat these as part of the day’s carbohydrate rather than as something outside it, and check the total carbohydrate figure on the panel rather than the word on the front. Ask your doctor or a dietitian how they fit your own plan.

And it does not mean low fat

Removing sugar often means adding fat to keep the texture. Compare the fat and the energy figures alongside the sugar one, not instead of it.

Cookies, Crackers and Savoury Snacks

• Olympic Biscotti Elachi Cookies Family Biscuits 160g and Olympic Biscotti Cookies 60g
• Olympic Salcoti Cookies Biscuits – Crunchy & Delicious 60g Pack
• Olympic Lexus Vegetable Crackers 216g and Olympic Tip Salted Crispy Biscuits 60g – Tasty Crunchy
• Olympic Nimki Bite Biscuits 16g and Olympic Potato Plus 48g

Salt is the figure to watch on the savoury ones

Chanachur, crackers and salted biscuits carry most of their character in salt, and salt intake in this country already runs well above what is recommended. High blood pressure is the commonest reason for that to matter, and it produces no symptoms until it has been doing damage for years.

The chanachur comes in three pouch sizes, plus a second flavour:

• Olympic BBQ Chanachur – Spicy & Crunchy Snack Pouch Pack (22g)
• Olympic BBQ Chanachur – Spicy & Crunchy Snack Pouch Pack (140g)
• Olympic BBQ Chanachur – Spicy & Crunchy Snack Pouch Pack (280g)
• Olympic Jhal Chanachur 140g

The smallest pouch is the one that makes a portion decide itself.

Candy

The candy comes in large pouches:

• Olympic Pulse Masala Mango Candy – Tangy & Spicy Flavored Candy Pouch Pack (50 Pieces)
• Olympic Ripe Mango Candy – Tasty Mango Candy Pouch Pack (50 Pieces)
• Olympic Coffeeto Coffee Candy – Premium Coffee Flavored Candy Pouch Pack (50 Pieces)

Hard candy does more damage to teeth than its sugar content alone suggests, because it is in the mouth for a long time and keeps the sugar in contact with the enamel. The frequency matters more than the quantity: a sweet nursed through an afternoon does more harm than several eaten at once after a meal.

Hard sweets are also a choking hazard for young children. Under about four, they are better avoided entirely.

Instant Noodles

The noodle line covers:

• Olympic Super Hot and Spicy Ramen Noodles 248gm
• Foodie Ramen Creamy & Spicy Instant Noodle 248gm
• Foodie Ramen Creamy & Spicy Instant Noodles 496g

Almost all the salt in a packet of instant noodles is in the seasoning sachet rather than in the noodles. Using half of it is the single easiest change, and most people do not notice. Adding an egg and whatever vegetables are in the house turns it from a filler into a meal.

Reading the Panel on the Back

Per 100g against per serving

Two packets are only comparable on the per-100g column. Serving sizes are chosen by the manufacturer and differ between products, so a per-serving figure can make a richer food look lighter than a plainer one.

Check what the pack calls a serving before reading anything else. A 216g packet described in servings of 25g is nine servings, and almost nobody eats one.

Allergens

Wheat runs through nearly everything in this range, and milk through most of the biscuits. One product is made with peanut, and a shared production line means a trace can appear in others — so a pack that says it may contain nuts means exactly that.

Anyone with a diagnosed food allergy should read every pack every time, because recipes change between batches without the front of the pack changing at all.

Storing biscuits in this climate

Biscuits go soft rather than stale here, because they draw moisture out of humid air. Once a packet is open, move the contents into an airtight container rather than folding the wrapper over, and keep them out of a kitchen that gets steamy.

Batteries

Part of the range is not food at all: Olympic Pencil Volt Battery – High Quality AA 1.5V (R6S-UM-3) 2 Pieces Pack and Olympic Pencil Volt Battery – High Quality AAA 1.5V (R03-UM-4) 2 Pieces Pack.

Do not mix old and new cells in the same device, or different brands, and take them out of anything that will sit unused for months — a leaking cell ruins the device it is in. Keep all batteries away from small children, and treat any suspicion that a child has swallowed one as an emergency.

Where Olympic Sits on Arogga

The range spreads across the snack shelves by type:

• Almost everything sits under Snacks & Beverages.
• The everyday biscuits sit under Plain Biscuits, and the filled ones under Cream Biscuits.
• The Biscotti line sits under Cookies, and the chanachur under Chips & Pretzels.
• The candy sits under Chocolates, the ramen under Noodles and Pasta, and the cells under Batteries.

About Olympic Industries

Olympic Industries Limited is a Bangladeshi food manufacturer, recognised above all for biscuits and for the Nutty, Energy Plus and Bourbon lines. Beyond biscuits it makes candy, savoury snacks, instant noodles and batteries, all of which appear in the range carried here.

Pack weights, ingredient panels and current availability are on each product page rather than here, because they change with the pack. The grid above this text is the live list of what Arogga holds.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Where can I find the full Olympic product list?

The grid above this text is the list, and it updates itself as stock changes. A printed or downloadable version goes out of date between printings, which is usually why a search for one turns up something years old.

2. Are sugar-free biscuits safe for diabetes?

They still raise blood sugar. Sugar free means no added sugar, but the biscuit is made of flour, and flour becomes glucose. Count them as part of the day’s carbohydrate, read the total carbohydrate figure rather than the front of the pack, and ask your doctor how they fit your plan.

3. Does sugar free also mean low fat?

Usually not. Removing sugar often means adding fat to keep the texture. Look at the fat and energy figures alongside the sugar one rather than instead of it.

4. How do I compare two packets fairly?

Use the per-100g column. Serving sizes are set by the manufacturer and differ between products, so a per-serving figure can make a richer food look lighter. Check what the pack calls a serving before reading anything else.

5. Can I reduce the salt in instant noodles?

Yes, easily. Almost all of it is in the seasoning sachet rather than the noodles, so using half is the simplest change and most people do not notice. An egg and any vegetables to hand turn it into a meal.

6. Are hard candies bad for children’s teeth?

More than the sugar figure suggests, because they stay in the mouth and keep sugar against the enamel. Frequency matters more than quantity — one sweet nursed through an afternoon is worse than several after a meal. Under about four they are a choking risk and should be kept away entirely.

7. How should I store biscuits in this weather?

In an airtight container once the packet is open. Biscuits here go soft rather than stale, because they pull moisture from humid air, and folding the wrapper over does not stop it. Keep them out of a steamy kitchen.

8. Does Arogga supply Olympic products to shops?

No. Arogga is a retail pharmacy and marketplace, so this page shows what is available to buy rather than to stock. Trade and distribution enquiries go to the manufacturer directly.
