What should you look for when buying?
Compare crisps on the same basis, preferably per 100 g, then think about how much you want to eat or share. A ‘less fat’ claim doesn’t automatically tell you anything about the other nutritional values or whether the packet is practical for camping.

Frequently asked questions
Does less fat also mean less salt or energy?
No. A ‘less fat’ claim doesn’t tell you that by itself. Per 100 g, Albert Heijn lists 13 g of fat, 0,85 g of salt and 428 kcal for Lay's Oven Baked Plain, and 20 g of fat, 0,9 g of salt and 461 kcal for AH Ridged Plain Crisps Less Fat. Also compare the serving size you plan to eat.
What does Nutri-Score tell you when comparing crisps?
Nutri-Score helps you compare products within the same category. According to Albert Heijn, the score is calculated for each product category. For the individual amounts of fat, salt and energy, check the nutrition table as well.

How should I store crisps while camping?
Follow the storage advice on the packaging. For the Plain varieties discussed here, Albert Heijn advises storing them in a cool, dry place. Choose a packet size that suits the number of people and seal it well once opened.
Should I check the allergens again if I choose another flavour?
Yes. Check the ingredients and allergens on the latest packaging for that specific variety. Don’t assume the information for Plain or Original applies when you choose crisps in another flavour.
