Round 1: Nutrition
Winner: Woolworths Free From Gluten
When it comes to nutrition, Woolworths edges out Aldi. Lower sugars, sodium, and more fibre make it the slightly healthier choice.
Neither cookie is exactly a “health food,” but Woolies holds the upper hand here. It has a 1.5 Health Star Rating while the Aldi Belmont pack only has 0.5 stars.

Round 2: Flavour
Winner: Aldi Belmont Biscuit Co
When it comes to taste, Aldi’s product is leaps and bounds ahead of the Woolies option. It’s texture is softer with much better flavour.
The Woolworths Free From Gluten biscuit is bland and boring. Although both cookies have a similar amount of chocolate chips, Woolworths lacks sweetness and there’s almost no hit of chocolate.
If you’re not fussed about nutrition, head to Aldi. Their gluten free choc chip biscuit is hands down the winner.

Round 3: The “Extras”
Winner: Woolworths Free From Gluten
In the final round we looked at various different criteria, and Woolworths had the edge. While Aldi comes in cheaper, Woolies uses far more Australian ingredients and is locally owned. That tips the scales in Woolworths’ favour.

The Verdict
- Round 1: Nutrition – ✅ Woolworths
- Round 2: Flavour – ✅ Aldi
- Round 3: Extras – ✅ Woolworths
Overall, Woolworths takes the win. The criteria leaned in their favour, but Aldi’s biscuits are definitely superior. If taste is your top priority, go with Aldi’s Belmont Biscuit Co.
