Common comparison mistakes
-
Confusing bag weight with the stated serving size
Each bag in the funny-frisch Chipsfrisch Hungarian multipack contains 40 g. The serving size shown in the manufacturer’s nutrition information is 30 g.
Check both figures separately and base the nutritional values on the amount you actually plan to eat.
-
Judging a whole flavour by its fat content alone
Fat and salt are different measures to compare. Lorenz lists 23 g of fat and 2.3 g of salt per 100 g for Naturals Lightly Salted.
Compare the values for the flavours you’re considering per 100 g, then take the amount you’ll eat into account.
-
Choosing based only on the flavour name or a claim if you have allergies
A term such as “vegan” doesn’t replace checking allergen information: Lorenz also states “May contain milk” for Naturals Lightly Salted.
If you have allergies, read the ingredients list and allergen information on the specific pack.
