A multipack of small individual bags is a good choice when you want to pack a set portion for an after-school snack or lunchbox without decanting crisps from a large pack. Check the weight of each bag and the specific flavour. Compare the ingredients, allergen information, fat and salt content on the current packaging.
If you want to pack a pre-portioned amount for after school, childcare or training, you can compare small individual bags with an opened large pack. REWE, for example, lists funny-frisch Chipsfrisch Hungarian-style crisps in a pack of four 40 g bags.
If allergies or intolerances are a consideration in your household, check the labelling on the specific flavour you’re buying. Germany’s Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Home Affairs explains allergen labelling for packaged foods; if a recipe changes, the current packaging is what matters.
If you’re considering oven-baked, lentil or protein snacks as well as classic potato crisps, compare the product type, ingredients and nutritional values for each flavour. funny-frisch’s information on fat or protein relates to specific product ranges, not every crisp made by the brand.
First, decide whether you need small individual portions or several larger bags. Then compare the information for the varieties you’re considering.
| Criteria | What to check | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Portioning and portability | Check the number of individual bags and the weight of each one; the total weight alone doesn’t confirm that the portions are separate. | For a lunchbox, I want to pack one bag rather than decant crisps from a large pack. Pre-portioned bags are the top priority for around 40% of shoppers. |
| Ingredients, allergens and salt | Read the current ingredients and allergen information; compare salt content per 100 g across varieties. | If allergies or specific ingredients matter in my household, I need the information for the variety I’m buying. I also want the salt content to suit my preferences. Around 30% of shoppers give this packaging check the most weight. |
| Alternative recipes | For oven-baked, lentil or protein snacks, compare the product type, fat, salt and ingredients per 100 g. | I want to check out a differently made snack alongside classic potato crisps, without mistaking one fat figure for the whole picture. This is the main consideration for around 30% of shoppers. |
A family-size pack doesn’t contain pre-portioned snacks. You’ll need to transfer the crisps into another container for a lunchbox.
Look for details such as “4 × 40 g” and check both the number of bags and the weight of each one.
funny-frisch’s fat information for Ofen Chips and Protein Chips applies to those product ranges. Check the ingredients, allergens and salt content separately for each variety.
Compare the nutritional information per 100 g, and read the ingredients list and allergen information too.
Recipes can change, so a familiar product name is no substitute for checking the label on the pack you’re buying now.
Check the ingredients and allergen information every time you buy, especially if you’re switching flavours or product types.
How salty crisps taste isn’t a reliable basis for comparing different packs.
Compare the salt content per 100 g, then take into account the amount in the bag you’re actually packing.
The range includes Chipsfrisch as well as oven-baked, lentil and protein snacks. REWE also lists Chipsfrisch Hungarian-style crisps in a 4 × 40 g pack.
Crunchips and Naturals are relevant ranges when comparing classic potato crisps.

Four separate bags are an option when you need several larger portions of potato crisps.
Each bag contains 150 g, so check whether that suits the snack portion you have in mind. To compare salt and allergens, read the information on the current packaging.
Look for the number and size of the individual bags, such as “4 × 40 g”. REWE lists funny-frisch Chipsfrisch Hungarian-style crisps in this format. Even so, check the number of bags and the weight of each one in the specific listing, rather than looking only at the total weight.
A large pack may suit you if you want to portion out the amount yourself and don’t need individually wrapped portions. If you want to put a bag straight into a lunchbox without decanting, the weight of each bag in the multipack is the more important thing to check.
Check the ingredients and allergen information for the variety you’re buying now, including any warnings about possible traces. This is important even with familiar brands, as recipes can differ or change.
No. The product type and recipe can differ. For the specific variety, compare the ingredients, fat and salt per 100 g. A fat figure on its own won’t answer questions about allergens or whether the bag size is right for you.
First, compare the salt figures per 100 g in the nutritional information. Then, if you want to work out how much you’re packing, take into account the amount of crisps in each bag.
