Common mistakes
-
Focusing only on ‘less fat’
The claim doesn’t tell you which option also contains less salt. Albert Heijn lists 9.2 g of fat and 1.6 g of salt per 100 g for Chio, compared with 13 g of fat and 0.82 g of salt per 100 g for Lay’s.
Compare the nutrition information per 100 g, and weigh up fat and salt separately.
-
Overlooking allergens when sharing snacks
According to Albert Heijn’s product information, Lay’s contains milk. Chio contains barley and may contain milk, sesame, soya and wheat.
Ask which allergens are relevant to your colleagues, and check the current packaging when you buy the crisps.
-
Thinking of a whole bag as one portion
Albert Heijn’s product information gives a 30 g portion size for both crisps: five portions for Lay’s and four to five for Chio.
Choose the number of bags and bowls to suit the number of people sharing.
