Savoy
Savoy is an extremely similar cracker initially introduced by the Brockhoff Biscuits in 1938.[8] While they were originally competitors, with the merger of Brockhoff and Arnott's in 1963, the decision was made to keep both products on store shelves.[2] Today the only difference between the two biscuits (besides branding) is the replacement of the full cream milk powder and malt in Jatz with golden syrup in Savoy.[1]
