Mouth heating up after eating biscuits

[Nabir14]

TL;DR Summary

I recently noticed my mouth getting quite hot after eating some biscuits named as Energy Biscuit. After eating for some time my mouth starts getting hot (not the taste because I can feel it from touching my mouth). I have never experienced this before when eating biscuits. So why is this happening?

I recently noticed that my mouth is heating up after eating some biscuits named as Energy Biscuit. It's not the taste because I can feel it by touching. It's very weird as I have never experienced it before when eating biscuits.

So why is this biscuit heating my mouth so much?

Only thought is, contamination from who knows what.

Your label picture is blurry. Maybe complain to the company.

I have given all the ingredients as text too (without some numbers)

I really doubt that any of the listed ingredients would create any mouth-burn, which is why I am guessing, contamination.

You're right.

You're right.

Stop eating them. This is straying into medical advice (which is not allowed on here) so I'll tag in @berkeman

Uh, does the 'small print' include something 'sharp' or 'spicy' ?
Also, you may have an 'idiosyncratic sensitivity'.
My wife could not tolerate a tangy brand of 'ginger biscuits'. This was odd as I found they had no more 'bite' than a mild peppermint tooth-paste, Happens I cannot tolerate 'strong' mints or curry fiercer than 'mild', yet my wife loved strong mints and 'interesting' curries.
Also, I get a skin reaction from one of the two main cultivars of pine-apple: My lips and mouth react badly. Thankfully, unpleasant rather than dangerous, 'hay fever' anti-histamines suffice.. But, as I've no way to tell the types apart, all pine-apple is off the menu, be it bar-cocktail, fruit-salad, gammon or pizza.....

( Pasteurising / processing of pine-apple juice seems to de-fang it, but I may just have been lucky with 'juicing' cultivars, so must shun the juice, too... }

That said, the number of reported 'food contamination' incidents are, to put it mildly, scary.

It doesn't include anything sharp or spicy. I don't know why only that brand of biscuits make my mouth very hot... But yeah I might have idiosyncratic sensitivity as you said.

Ok I will stop eating them. Thanks.

Yeah, sounds like a good idea. It's possible that you have a mild allergy (so far) to something in the biscuits. Maybe show the label to your family doctor the next time you have a checkup, in case s/he wants to do any allergy sensitivity tests.

Maybe the "Permitted Artificial Flavor" includes cinnamaldehyde which has a cinnamon-like flavor. Apparently some individuals are sensitive to that chemical and experience a burning sensation. Or maybe it's something else. Who knows? Surely there are other ordinary biscuits available.

You would wonder what that bolded stuff is. The problem is in there. Again, the company producing the biscuits knows or should know what that or those are.

The label has information other than just ingredients list, the list you printed separately. There is too a very readable bar code with NUMBER.

I think it's these. The manufacturer is located in Bangladesh. They have an email address and phone number so you could try asking them.

Whelp, I tried to keep the thread open after a report, but now it's drifted into medical advice (now deleted), so it is closed.
