Viewers who are mainly watching their fat intake
You’re looking for paprika crisps for the match and first compare the grams of fat per 100 g. Salt and allergens are separate considerations.
Who is this comparison for?
Snackers who compare salt as well
You don’t choose solely on the basis of a claim about less fat: you also check the salt content and the portion you plan to serve.
Buyers for whom allergens are a deciding factor
You check the ingredients and warnings on the exact pack before buying crisps to share.
What should you look for when choosing?
Start by comparing the nutritional values per 100 g. Then decide whether fat, salt or allergen information matters most for your Orange match night.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Fat content | Compare the grams of fat per 100 g. If there’s a claim about less fat, also check what the product is being compared with. | If I’m mainly watching my fat intake for match night, I want to compare the amounts on a like-for-like basis. Around 42% of consumers prioritise this. |
| Salt content | Check the salt per 100 g and the nutritional information for the portion you plan to have. | When serving a bowl of crisps during the match, I don’t want to focus only on fat if the salt content varies between products. Around 33% of consumers consider this combination most important. |
| Allergens | Read the ingredients list and warnings on the pack of the variant you’ve chosen. | If someone with a relevant food allergy will be eating the crisps, I need to know what’s in this particular bag and what warnings it carries. This is the top priority for around 25% of consumers. |
Common mistakes
-
Going by ‘less fat’ alone
A comparison with standard potato crisps doesn’t tell you how much fat or salt two oven-baked varieties contain relative to each other. Albert Heijn lists 9.2 g of fat and 1.6 g of salt per 100 g for Chio Oven Chips Paprika, compared with 13 g of fat and 0.82 g of salt for Lay's Oven Baked Roasted Paprika.
Compare the nutritional tables per 100 g side by side and decide which difference matters more to you.
-
Not considering the portion size
Values per 100 g are useful for comparing products, but they won’t necessarily match the amount of crisps you eat during the match.
Also check the nutritional information per portion on the label and decide how much you want to serve.
-
Assuming the cooking method tells you about allergens
Oven-baked doesn’t mean allergen-free. The product information lists milk for Lay's Oven Baked Roasted Paprika. Chio Oven Chips Paprika lists barley/gluten and warnings about the possible presence of milk, sesame, soya and wheat.
Check the ingredients and warnings on the current pack of the specific flavour and pack size.
