2.2. Participants
Participants were recruited by an email sent to panelists from a consumer research panel database. The email provided an outline of the study with a link to an online pre-screening survey. Participants who passed the pre-screening survey were directed to review the informed consent form online and were provided with contact information if they had questions about the study before they decided to participate. To conceal the primary objective of the study, participants were informed that the study was being conducted to evaluate their appetite response to breakfast biscuits. Participants who signed the informed consent form online were directed to complete a formal online screening survey to determine their eligibility for the study. The inclusion criteria for the study were: healthy adults aged 18–70 years, with a body mass index between 20.0 and 29.9 kg/m
