Flavor variants in a product family share the base profile, and the oxalate table follows the base more than the flavoring. Vanilla wafers cookies measures 7 mg per serving, in the middle of the family range. The useful reading is the family spread: if the range is narrow, flavor choice is free; if it is wide, the flavor with the lower measured value is the easy win. Related forms in this family: Fig bars cookies (5 mg), Chocolate chip cookies (20 mg), Peanut butter cookies (36 mg).
