Who is this comparison for?

If you mainly compare fat per 100 g

You’re looking for lower-fat paprika crisps for a night in and give the stated fat content plenty of weight in your decision. Albert Heijn lists 9.2 g of fat per 100 g for Chio Oven Chips Paprika.

If you want to weigh up fat and salt

You don’t want to choose based on fat content alone. Albert Heijn’s product information lists less fat per 100 g for Chio, but less salt for Lay’s Oven Baked Roasted Paprika.

If you need to check ingredients carefully

Your choice may also depend on the latest allergen information. According to Albert Heijn’s product information, the Lay’s variety compared contains milk; the Chio variety lists barley and warnings that other allergens may be present.

What should you look for when choosing?

If allergens are a concern, check the label on the bag you’re planning to buy first. Then compare the remaining options by fat and salt per 100 g.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters to
Fat content Compare fat per 100 g and think about how many crisps you want to serve for the evening. I mainly want to choose a variety with a lower stated fat content. For around 46% of consumers, fat per 100 g is the most important factor.
Fat and salt together Check fat and salt on the same 100 g basis, then decide which difference matters more to you. A lower fat content isn’t the deciding factor for me if another bag contains less salt. Around 36% of consumers prioritise weighing up fat and salt.
Allergens Check both the ingredients and any warnings about the possible presence of allergens on the current packaging. I need to know what’s on the bag before I put the crisps on the table. Checking allergens comes first for around 18% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Looking only at ‘less fat’

    A reduced-fat claim compares a product with a reference product. When choosing between these two bags, the stated amount of fat per 100 g matters too. Albert Heijn lists 9.2 g for Chio and 13 g for Lay’s.

    Check the nutrition information per 100 g, then factor salt and ingredients into your decision.

  • Overlooking salt when comparing

    The variety with the lowest stated fat content doesn’t have the lowest stated salt content here. According to Albert Heijn, Lay’s Oven Baked Roasted Paprika contains 0.82 g of salt per 100 g, while Chio Oven Chips Paprika contains 1.6 g.

    Compare the salt figure alongside the fat figure if both matter to your choice.

  • Treating an online allergen list as definitive

    Ingredients and warnings on current packaging may differ from those on a product page you viewed earlier. That matters if you need to avoid certain ingredients.

    Check the bag itself before eating the crisps, and look out for warnings about the possible presence of allergens.
