If your main aim when shopping for back to school is to choose crisps with less fat, look for a specific fat-reduction claim and compare the nutritional information per 100 g. Lorenz advertises Naturals Leicht fein gesalzen as having 30 % less fat than regular potato crisps, and lists 23 g of fat and 475 kcal per 100 g. Salt, the intended snack portion and allergen information are also worth checking.
If you’re buying potato crisps for a back-to-school snack and are specifically looking for a reduced-fat variety, check the fat-reduction claim alongside the fat content per 100 g. The product description alone doesn’t tell you everything about its nutritional values.
If you’re also considering energy and salt, you can compare these figures in the nutrition table per 100 g. The pack size is also relevant when deciding how much to take with you.
Lorenz labels Naturals Leicht fein gesalzen as vegan and gluten-free, but also states ‘May contain MILK’. When choosing, always check the information on the specific pack you’re buying.
First, check whether the specific variety of potato crisps meets your aim of choosing ‘less fat’. Then compare energy and salt per 100 g, and check the ingredients and allergen information on the pack if needed.
| Criterion | What to check when buying | Who it matters most to |
|---|---|---|

Around 45 % of shoppers put fat reduction first. |
| Energy, salt and portion size | Check kcal and salt per 100 g, as well as the pack size and intended snack portion. | When choosing a snack, I don’t want to decide on fat content alone; I also want to consider energy, salt and portion size.

| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients list, product labelling and any ‘may contain’ warnings on the pack you’re buying. | If ingredients or possible traces of milk are important for my household, the current labelling on the pack takes priority over fat reduction. Around 22 % of shoppers check this first when buying. |
