Who is this comparison for?

Campers keeping an eye on fat

You want to take paprika crisps with you and compare the fat content per 100 g, rather than relying only on the wording on the front of the pack.

Campers comparing salt, too

Fat content isn't your only consideration. You want to know how much salt the crisps contain, both per 100 g and in the portion you expect to eat.

Campers with allergy or portion requirements

You’re buying for several people, planning separate snack times or need to avoid allergens. In that case, up-to-date ingredient information, pack size and storage instructions all matter when choosing.

What should you look for when buying?

Start with the nutritional information per 100 g so you can compare products on a like-for-like basis. Then check that the packaging and allergen information suit your camping plans.

What to consider What to check when buying Who is this important to?
Fat content Compare the fat per 100 g; if there’s a reduced-fat claim, check what the product is being compared with, too. I want to take paprika crisps with me and, among the options, give priority to a lower fat content. For around 42% of consumers, fat would be the first consideration.
Salt content Compare the salt per 100 g and check the amount in the portion you plan to eat. If salt matters more to me than the lowest fat content, I want to see both values side by side. For around 33% of consumers, salt would come first.
Packaging and allergens Read the allergen information and check the pack size, best-before date and storage advice on the packaging. For a shared camping food supply, I want to know who can eat the crisps and how to store the pack. Around 25% of consumers would consider these practical needs first.

Common mistakes

  • Looking only at the ‘reduced fat’ claim

    A percentage reduction in fat refers to a comparison product. It doesn’t tell you how many grams of fat the crisps themselves contain per 100 g.

    Use the claim as additional information and compare the fat values in the nutrition table.

  • Assuming lower fat means lower salt

    Albert Heijn lists 13 g of fat and 0.82 g of salt per 100 g for Lay's Oven Baked Roasted Paprika. According to Jumbo, Chio Oven Chips Paprika Flavour contains 9.2 g of fat and 1.6 g of salt per 100 g. So the two values don’t point to the same choice.

    Compare fat and salt per 100 g each time, then decide which matters more to you for this purchase.

  • Assuming a product you found before will still be available

    Jumbo no longer lists We Care Paprika Flavour Chips in its online range. So finding a product page previously doesn’t guarantee you’ll be able to buy the crisps before you leave.

    Check current availability before you finalise your camping supplies.

  • Leaving the label and packaging until you’re at the campsite

    The variants reviewed list different allergens. It’s also important to keep a pack of crisps you’re taking with you somewhere dry.

    Before buying, read the up-to-date allergen information, check that the pack is intact and follow the storage advice on the packaging.
