I think it's just a matter that Wasa (and similar whole rye crispbread crackers such as RyVita and Rye Krisp) are all-natural, no additives, preservatives or hydrogenated trans-fats ... and relatively low carb as far as crackers go. The various rye crispbreads range from 4.5 to 7g net carbs (after fiber subtracted) per slice, depending on the variety ... with the high fiber types and Wasa Light Rye being the lowest. And they're relatively large, so you get a lot of crunch for the carbs

They're not permitted during the 2 weeks of Induction though, but in DANDR, Atkins suggests that they may be used with caution during OWL and later stages. But be aware if they trigger cravings or other problems.
