Buying crisps and snacks online seems straightforward, until you have to choose between potato crisps, multipacks, snack boxes and international varieties. A large pack isn’t automatically better value, and a tempting flavour won’t always suit everyone around the table. Use these practical checks to compare products.
A multipack of crisps with lots of small bags may look appealing, but check the total net weight too. A box of 20 bags weighing 22 to 27.5 grams each is handy for sharing, while a 165-gram pack may be better suited to a film night or drinks with friends.
Compare:
An assortment of crisps may contain several bags but still be made up mostly of the same flavour. Check whether the box includes different categories, such as plain crisps, paprika crisps, cheese crisps or corn snacks. For a party, a mix of savoury, spicy and mild flavours is often more practical than several bags of the same variety.
Crisps and snacks for sharing may contain milk, soya, gluten, mustard, sesame or sulphites. This also applies to products that seem simple at first glance. For international snacks, always check the product page and the label when your order arrives. The packaging is the most reliable source of up-to-date information.
Look out for phrases such as “may contain” too. This isn’t a description of the flavour, but information about possible cross-contamination during production.
Small bags are suitable for lunchboxes, the office, travelling or parties where everyone gets their own portion. A larger bag or tube is better for a film night or drinks with friends, but seal it well after opening and follow the storage instructions.
For party crisps, boxes of individually wrapped portions are easy to organise. A snack box with several flavours also helps cater for different tastes without placing multiple separate orders.
Plan a simple selection in advance:
Product descriptions may use terms such as “intense” or “rich” to describe a flavour. Treat these as an indication of the flavour profile, not a guarantee that everyone will enjoy it.
Compare the values per 100 grams, not just per bag. This makes it easier to spot differences in energy, fat, saturated fat, carbohydrates and salt. A small pack can make portion control easier, but that alone tells you nothing about its nutritional content.
Also check:
Ingredients may vary from bag to bag in a mixed box, so don’t just read the front of the box.
Why it suits this shopper: The box contains 20 small portions, including paprika, plain and cheesy corn snacks. That makes them easy to compare and share.
The number of packs and the flavours are clearly specified. Be sure to check the total weight and allergens for each variety.
20 individual bags; a mix of potato crisps and corn chips; ideal for sharing.
Why it suits this shopper: These potato crisps pair goat’s cheese with Espelette pepper, making them a good choice if you’re after something a little different to serve with drinks.
The flavour combination and portion information are clearly stated: the bag contains around four 30-gram portions. Check the milk allergen information.
125 grams; goat’s cheese and pepper flavour; according to the product information, made without colourings or flavour enhancers.
Why it suits this shopper: The 12 individual 40-gram portions are handy for parties, lunchboxes or a cupboard stocked for sharing.
The multipack makes the portion size clear. The flavour is distinctly spicy, so choose a milder selection if you’re buying for a mixed group.
12 bags of 40 grams; a clear chilli flavour; according to the product information, made without artificial colourings or preservatives.
Why it suits this shopper: The chickpea crisps come in 60-gram packs and, according to the product description, have a smoky barbecue flavour. Handy for sharing or taking with you.
The number of bags and the weight of each are clear upfront. Check the current ingredients and allergen information on the packaging.
28 individual packs; made with chickpeas; a barbecue flavour for a change from regular potato crisps.
We’ve put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
It depends on the weight per pack and the price per 100 grams. A multipack can be handy for portioning and parties, but check that you actually want all the flavours. Individual bags give you more choice when you want to put together your own crisp assortment.
Choose a mix of small portions and different flavours. A selection of paprika crisps, plain crisps, cheesy corn snacks, crackers and pretzels, and perhaps some spicy snacks gives guests more choice. Check for allergens in advance if several people will be eating.
Store unopened packs in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Seal opened bags well and follow the date and storage instructions on the label. If any packaging is damaged, check the seller’s returns or contact information before using the product.
