Crisp lovers comparing fat per 100 g
If the absolute fat content is your main priority, compare the nutritional information for the exact variant. Jumbo lists 13 g of fat per 100 g for Lay's Oven Baked Naturel.
Who are these options relevant to?
Fans of classic potato crisps
If you mainly want a familiar plain or paprika flavour, you can compare a light version with other potato crisps. Check whether the variant you choose can be delivered: Albert Heijn and Jumbo marked Lay's Light Naturel as discontinued.
Shoppers who prefer lentil crisps
BioToday Lentil Crisps Sea Salt is a different product category from potato crisps. Albert Heijn lists this variant as vegan and gluten-free, but also notes that it may contain traces of peanuts, soya, milk and celery. So, check the information on the exact pack.
What should you look for when choosing?
First decide whether fat content, the type of crisps you want or the ingredients matter most to you. Then check that the flavour and pack size you have chosen suit your online shop.

Common mistakes
-
Relying only on ‘light’ or ‘lower fat’ claims
A relative fat claim doesn't tell you how much fat there is per 100 g in the pack. Jumbo lists 13 g of fat per 100 g for Lay's Oven Baked Naturel and 21 g for Lay's Light Naturel.
Compare the actual fat content, then look at salt, energy and your portion size too.
-
Assuming every flavour contains the same allergens
Allergens can vary between flavours. For Lay's Light Paprika, Jumbo lists wheat and milk, among other ingredients.
Before checking out, read the information for the exact flavour and check the label again when it arrives.
-
Checking delivery availability only after you've chosen
A product listing doesn't mean a pack is available for your order. Albert Heijn and Jumbo marked Lay's Light Naturel as discontinued.
Check your basket and delivery option before paying. Only allow substitutions if you're happy to receive the alternative offered.
An unwanted substitution can cost you time if you then have to search for a suitable alternative.
-
Overlooking pack sizes
A 75 g pack of BioToday Lentil Crisps Sea Salt contains a different amount from the 150 g pack of Lay's Oven Baked Naturel listed in the product information reviewed.
Check both the pack weight and the nutritional information per 100 g before comparing the packs.

Frequently asked questions
Does ‘lower fat’ mean that crisps are low in fat?
No. A lower-fat claim is a relative comparison and doesn't, by itself, mean that crisps are low in fat. Check the fat per 100 g: Jumbo lists 13 g for Lay's Oven Baked Naturel and 21 g for Lay's Light Naturel; Albert Heijn lists 18 g for BioToday Lentil Crisps Sea Salt.
Should I compare salt as well when choosing lower-fat crisps?
Yes. A lower fat content doesn't tell you anything about the salt content of another variety. Jumbo lists 0.85 g of salt per 100 g for Lay's Oven Baked Naturel and 1.4 g for Lay's Light Naturel; Albert Heijn lists 1.7 g for BioToday Lentil Crisps Sea Salt. Check the pack of the product you receive.
Do plain and flavoured crisps contain the same allergens?
Don't assume they do: check the exact flavour. Jumbo lists wheat and milk for Lay's Light Paprika; Albert Heijn notes possible traces of peanuts, soya, milk and celery for BioToday Lentil Crisps Sea Salt. Check the label on the pack you receive too.
When should I check whether my crisps can be delivered?
Check the delivery option when you add the product to your basket, then again before checking out. Albert Heijn and Jumbo marked Lay's Light Naturel as discontinued. If you want a specific variety, check your settings for substitute products too.
