The biggest bag isn’t automatically the best choice for a camping group. What matters is how much you need, how many snack breaks you’re planning and whether the ingredients and allergen information for the flavour you choose meet the group’s needs. Smaller packs can be a good option if you want a few different flavours or are unlikely to finish an opened bag.
If you’re packing snacks for several people, consider pack sizes alongside the number of snack breaks you’re planning. This will help you work out whether you’ll finish a larger pack or whether several smaller bags would be a better fit.
If someone in your group has specific dietary requirements or an allergy, check the information on the exact product you’re buying. Details for a different product from the same brand aren’t enough.
For example, if you’re keeping an eye on fat, compare the nutritional information per 100 g for different varieties. However, a single nutritional value won’t tell you whether a product meets all your group’s needs.
First, work out how much you’ll need for the group. Then check the labelling on the varieties you’re considering.
| What matters | What to check | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Getting the right amount for the group | Pack size and the number of snack breaks you’re planning | If several people will be sharing, I want to pack enough without bringing back lots of half-open bags. Around 50% of consumers prioritise getting the right amount for their group. |
| Ingredients and allergens | The ingredients list, highlighted allergens and statements such as “May contain” on the pack itself | If a variety needs to meet specific dietary requirements, I want to be able to check the information myself before packing it. Around 25% of consumers put this first. |
| Nutritional priorities | Nutritional information per 100 g and the basis for any preparation-related claim | If I’m particularly focused on one nutritional value, I want to compare different varieties on the same basis. This is also the main priority for around 25% of consumers. |
Recipes and labelling can vary. Lorenz describes Crunchips Salted as vegan and gluten-free, but also warns that it may have come into contact with milk.
Check the ingredients list, allergen information and any “May contain” statements on every variety you’re actually taking with you.
A claim about fat content doesn’t answer questions about other nutritional values, ingredients or allergens.
If fat content is your main consideration, compare the nutritional information per 100 g, then check the rest of the information on the pack.

Yes. Check the labelling on the exact variety you’re buying. Lorenz describes Crunchips Salted as vegan and gluten-free, but also warns that it may have come into contact with milk. Chio advises customers to check the ingredients list on the relevant pack.
