<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Dear Kemp: These crackers are shipped overseas which increases the risk of broken crackers. Fortunately for me, none of mine were broken therefore I had no problem counting carbs. If this frequently happens, contact the distributer (which I listed in my previous e-mail) and inform them that this is a problem. Maybe for long distance shipping the crackers need to be packed differently. Pam
