Buying crisps and snacks online seems straightforward, until you have to choose between potato crisps, tortilla chips, Pringles, Lay's crisps, Cheetos snacks and international treats. However, eye-catching packaging tells you little about portion size, ingredients or whether a product is suitable for a party. With these practical selection tips, you can compare products using reliable information and make a more informed choice for home, on the go or a film night.
A 170 or 200 gram bag may contain several portions, while small bags are convenient for individual consumption. When choosing a snack box, therefore, do not look only at the total weight. Also check the number of packs and the weight per bag. This makes it easier to compare a family-sized bag, a multipack and individual portions.
Words such as “hot”, “BBQ”, “nacho cheese” or “lime” describe a flavour direction, but not exactly how strong it will be. Spicy crisps, for example, may contain chilli, cayenne pepper, paprika or smoked herbs. If people in your household have different preferences, it is worth combining several flavours rather than ordering one large bag.
Crisps and snacks may contain milk, soya, wheat, gluten or sulphites, among other ingredients. The packaging may also state that a product could contain these substances. Always check the current product packaging, especially for international snacks. Online product information is a useful guide, but the packaging supplied with your order is the definitive source for ingredients, allergens and best-before information.
For crisps to share, bags weighing between 160 and 200 grams are practical for an evening with several people. A multipack of small bags works better for lunch boxes, students, travelling or when you want to store portions separately. A snack box can also offer a variety of textures and flavours, such as ridged crisps, cheese crisps and corn snacks.
Also pay attention to the closure. An opened bag stays crisp for longer when properly sealed, while small individual packs limit exposure to air. Store opened crisps and snacks in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat and moisture.
Check the ingredients list before ordering. Doritos Nacho Cheese, for example, lists milk and may contain gluten-containing cereals and soya. Pringles Hot Mexican Chili & Lime lists milk and wheat/gluten. The supplied product information for Lay's Bolognese states that the 14 major EU allergens are not present.
This does not mean that every flavour from the same brand has the same ingredients. Compare the specific product, not just the brand name. For snacks with chicken, pork or BBQ flavouring, also check whether animal-derived ingredients or flavourings are listed.
When checking nutritional values, pay particular attention to the information per 100 grams. This lets you compare products fairly, even when one pack contains 70 grams and another 200 grams. The values do not automatically reflect your portion size, but they do help you compare products side by side.

We have put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
Choose a bag or tube weighing around 160 to 200 grams, or a multipack containing several small bags. Doritos Nacho Cheese, Pringles Hot Mexican Chili & Lime and Lay's Cheese Onion in a 200-gram pack are examples where the size is clearly stated on the packaging. Combine different flavours if not everyone has the same preferences.
Store the pack in a cool, dry place and seal a bag as securely as possible after use. A tube with a lid can be practical, but even then, shelf life depends on the information on the packaging. Ideally, consume snacks before the stated date and check that the packaging is undamaged.
Divide the total price by the total weight and by the number of portions. With a snack box, also count how many individual bags you receive. This lets you compare a multipack fairly with a family-sized bag and see which option suits a party, snack cupboard or everyday snacking occasion.
