For several snack breaks during the school holidays, choose a pack size that suits the number of occasions you have planned. If you need to take a particular recipe into account, check the details for the specific flavour. And if you mainly want to compare fat content, check the nutritional information per 100 g rather than relying on labels such as “oven-baked” or “organic”.
If you’re buying potato crisps for several days of the holidays, match the pack size to the number of snack breaks you have planned. This makes it easier to choose single bags or multipacks to suit the quantity you need.
When sharing crisps, the recipe for each flavour matters. Chio labels Red Paprika as vegan, while Lorenz lists sweet whey powder and cheese powder in its Crunchips Paprika. Always check the ingredients and allergen information on the pack you buy.
If you want to compare classic potato crisps with a baked option, check the fat content per 100 g on the specific packs. The term “oven-baked” alone doesn’t tell you everything about the nutritional values.
For snack breaks during the school holidays, first consider how much you need, then check that the recipe suits everyone who’ll be sharing, and finally compare the nutritional information for the specific flavours.
| Consideration | What to check | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Pack size | Match the weight of each bag and the number of individual packs to the snack breaks you have planned. | If I’m shopping for several days of the holidays, I want to be able to divide the quantity I need between the different snack breaks. Around 42% of consumers are likely to put pack size first. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients list, highlighted allergens and any “may contain” information for the specific flavour. | If guests or children will be sharing the crisps, the recipe needs to suit everyone at the table. Around 33% of consumers are likely to consider ingredients and allergens their most important buying factor. |
| Fat content | Compare fat and other nutritional information per 100 g on the packs. | If you’re choosing between classic crisps and oven-baked crisps, you’ll want to compare the fat content of the specific products. This is likely to be the top priority for around 25% of consumers. |
A 125 g bag, a 200 g bag and a multipack won’t provide the same amount for your planned snack breaks.
Check the weight of each individual pack and the total quantity before planning to serve the crisps on several occasions.
