If you’re looking to buy crisps online, you’ll quickly come across dozens of flavours, brands and pack sizes. A large bag of potato crisps might seem handy for a night in with friends, while a snack multipack is better suited to lunchboxes or several snacking occasions. Yet there are a few pitfalls that can mean you end up paying too much, or with a product that doesn’t suit your needs.
This buying guide will help you practically compare potato crisps, corn snacks, BBQ crisps, spicy crisps and crisps for sharing.
A 185g or 200g bag might look like the obvious money-saving choice. However, always check the price per 100g and the number of servings on the label. A large bag is great for a film night, but less practical if the crisps lose their crunch soon after opening.
For individual use or a well-stocked cupboard, a multipack with smaller bags can be more convenient. That way, each portion stays sealed until you’re ready to eat it.
Words like “smoky”, “intense” or “hot” give a general impression, but they don’t reveal the exact ingredients. So always check the ingredients list. A BBQ flavour, for example, might contain sugar, paprika, onion, garlic, smoke flavouring or soya sauce powder. With spicy crisps, chilli can be combined with sweet flavourings.
If you’re after a specific taste, it’s worth reading both the product description and the ingredients list, rather than relying solely on the front of the pack.
Corn snacks and crisps don’t always contain the same ingredients. According to the product information, Cheetos cheese flavour contain milk and lactose; Pringles Sour Cream & Onion contain milk and wheat. Other products state on their label that they contain none of the 14 main EU allergens, but may still carry a warning about possible traces.
If you have allergies or intolerances, always check the packaging. The current information on the label is what counts, because recipes can change.
First, decide what you need the crisps for:
Also think about the closure. A resealable bag or tube can help keep the contents crunchier for longer, but always store crisps in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, try to eat them as soon as possible.
Choose based on the intensity you’re after:
The flavour preferences of the people you’re sharing with matter more than a flashy marketing term. For a party, a mix of mild, savoury and spicy can give everyone more choice.
The nutrition table makes it easier to compare products. In the examples shown, the energy value ranges from roughly 462 to 554 kcal per 100g. Fat, saturated fat, carbohydrates, sugar and salt also vary from one variant to another.
Don’t use the table as your only deciding factor, but do use it to compare products side by side. Also check the number of servings stated. For Cheetos E Goals, for example, there are around 3 to 4 servings per pack, while Lay’s BBQ Crisps contain 6 to 7 servings according to the product information.
Why this fits the profile: A familiar BBQ flavour in a 200g pack, ideal for a film night or sharing.
The label states 6 to 7 servings, so you can judge the contents and when to eat them in advance. The ingredients and allergen information are clearly listed.
200g contents; BBQ flavour; according to the product information, no artificial colours or preservatives.
Why this fits the profile: A smaller pack with an unusual teriyaki, miso and garlic flavour for anyone wanting something different from paprika or ready salted.
The flavour is described in detail, and the ingredients list includes soya sauce powder, miso powder and garlic. So you know exactly what you’re buying.
100g contents; teriyaki flavour; 518 kcal and 1.2g sodium per 100g according to the stated nutritional information.
Why this fits the profile: The individual bags are ideal for parties, on the go, lunchboxes or keeping a stock of portion-controlled snacks.
The multipack stops one large pack being left open for a long time. The quantity is clear: 12 bags of 40g each.
12 individual portions; spicy flavour; according to the product description, no artificial colours or preservatives.
We’ve put together a full, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and comply with current European safety regulations.
For a group, bags of 165g to 200g or a mixed pack are practical. Combine, for example, BBQ crisps with paprika crisps, ready salted and a corn snack. That way there’s a choice of texture and flavour. Check in advance how many servings the pack contains according to the label.
Store opened crisps in a sealed container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. A resealable pack or a well-sealed storage container helps keep them crunchy. Always follow the storage advice on the packaging.
That depends on the price, the total weight and the number of servings. Compare the price per 100g and think about whether you’ll actually want to eat all the flavours. A multipack can be especially handy for on the go, parties or households where several small portions are needed.
