digestive biscuit, sometimes referred to as a sweetmeal biscuit, is a British semi-sweet biscuit. The name "digestive" comes from a belief that the biscuits had antacid properties due to the use of bicarbonate of soda when they were first conceived.

The digestive biscuit was invented by McVitie's in Edinburgh in 1892 by Alexander Grant. They were advertised as aiding digestion, yet subsequent scientific research has concluded this as untrue. While rumours exist that consequently it is illegal for them to be sold under that name in the USA, in fact they are widely available in imported food sections of grocery stores and by mail order. The Original Digestive biscuit is still the ninth biggest biscuit brand in the UK.
