If you have coeliac disease, first check the current packaging for a gluten-free statement or the Crossed Grain symbol; paprika flavour and an allergen list alone are not a substitute. For individual lunchbox portions, Leev Paprika Lentil Wafers come in three small packs, but they are not potato crisps. If you want potato crisps to share, look for a single bag explicitly marked gluten-free, such as Croky Paprika Crisps 200 g, and check the packaging again when you buy them.
You’re choosing a paprika-flavoured snack for someone with coeliac disease and want to check the gluten-free statement or Crossed Grain symbol on the current packaging. The Dutch Coeliac Association recommends using these as a guide when reading labels.
You want individually wrapped portions to take with you, rather than having to divide a large bag yourself. A paprika-flavoured lentil snack could fit the bill, even though it isn’t a potato crisp.
You’re looking for a larger bag of paprika crisps to share. If you have coeliac disease, you still need to check the gluten-free status on the current packaging—not just the flavour or bag size.
First, use the current packaging to identify which paprika-flavoured snacks are suitable for someone with coeliac disease. Then consider whether individual packs, potato crisps or a larger bag matter most for the occasion.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Gluten-free status | Check the current packaging for the words ‘gluten-free’ or the Crossed Grain symbol, as well as the ingredients and any warnings. | When I’m buying for someone with coeliac disease, I want to check the gluten-free status on the label rather than rely on the paprika flavour. For around 42% of consumers, this check comes first. |
| Individual portions | Check how many separate packs there are and the contents of each one; according to Jumbo, Leev Paprika Lentil Wafers come in three 18 g packs. | For a lunchbox, I want to be able to take a pack with me, rather than portioning crisps into containers at home. Pre-portioned snacks are the main priority for around 33% of consumers. |
| Potato crisps to share | Compare the pack type and size only after checking the gluten-free statement on the bag in question. | When we snack together, I want a bag of paprika-flavoured potato crisps we can share. Around 25% of consumers say this style of snack and share bag are their main priorities. |
A statement that a product does not contain any of the main EU allergens does not mean the same as an explicit gluten-free statement. When choosing products for someone with coeliac disease, the Dutch Coeliac Association recommends looking for the words ‘gluten-free’, a gluten-free symbol or the Crossed Grain symbol.
Read the current packaging and check the ingredients and any warnings too, especially if the packaging or recipe has changed.
The three individual 18 g Leev packs are designed for a different way of taking snacks with you than a single 200 g bag of Croky Paprika Crisps. Leev lentil wafers and Croky potato crisps are also different products.
For pre-portioned lunchbox snacks, choose a pack with individual portions. With a large bag, you’ll need to portion the crisps yourself and reseal the opened bag.
According to Jumbo’s product information, Leev Paprika Lentil Wafers may contain soya and milk; Schär Curvies Paprika may contain milk.
Check the current packaging for all allergens that are relevant to the person eating the product.
According to Jumbo, Leev Paprika Lentil Wafers are available in a 3x2 multipack, weighing 54 g in total.
Jumbo describes Schär Curvies Paprika as gluten-free paprika-flavoured potato crisps in a 170 g pack.
Joybuy describes Croky Paprika Crisps 200 g as paprika-flavoured potato crisps and lists them as ‘Gluten-free’.
Joybuy describes Lay's Paprika Crisps 300 g as a single bag containing ten portions.
Don’t use this as your only check when choosing a product for someone with coeliac disease. The Dutch Coeliac Association recommends looking on the label for the words ‘gluten-free’, a gluten-free symbol or the Crossed Grain symbol. Also check the current ingredients and any warnings.
No. They’re paprika-flavoured lentil wafers, not potato crisps. According to Jumbo, the 3x2 multipack contains three individual 18 g packs, which can be handy if separate lunchbox portions matter more to you than the texture of crisps.
Reseal the bag after serving and follow the storage instructions on the packaging. If you have coeliac disease, be mindful of possible contact with gluten-containing snacks when portioning crisps into bowls or putting them out on the table together.
