Who is this choice relevant to?

People keeping an eye on fat

You’re looking for paprika crisps explicitly labelled as lower in fat and want to know how much fat is in the bag per 100 g. This makes products in different pack sizes easier to compare.

People who also consider salt

You don’t want to look at fat alone: according to Jumbo, the products compared also differ in their salt content per 100 g. The nutrition information per portion can then help you assess how much you plan to eat.

People adding snacks to an online grocery order

You want to add a bag of crisps to your regular order, so you’re also looking at the pack size, the range available for your delivery slot and the home delivery terms.

What should you look for when choosing?

Start by comparing the nutrition information per 100 g. Then consider the portion you plan to have and whether the bag you’ve chosen fits into your online order.

What to consider What to check Who is this relevant to?
Fat per 100 g Compare the fat content on the same basis. Jumbo lists 9.2 g per 100 g for Chio Oven Chips Paprika Flavour and 13 g for Lay’s Oven Baked Roasted Paprika. If my main priority is lower-fat paprika crisps, I want to compare the bags on an equal basis; around 42% of consumers prioritise fat.
Salt and portion size Check the salt per 100 g and the stated portion size. Jumbo lists 1.6 g of salt per 100 g for Chio and 0.82 g per 100 g for Lay’s Oven Baked. When choosing a snack, I want to factor in salt, even if the bag says it is lower in fat. This is the more important consideration for around 33% of consumers.
Ordering online Once you’ve chosen a delivery slot, check the available range and bag size. Also review the home delivery terms. I want my bag delivered with the rest of my groceries, so I need to choose from what’s available to order at that time; around 25% of consumers place the most importance on convenience when ordering.

Common mistakes

  • Focusing only on ‘lower fat’

    The claim compares fat, not necessarily salt. For the varieties compared, Jumbo lists Chio Oven Chips as having less fat per 100 g than Lay’s Oven Baked, but more salt.

    Compare the nutrition information per 100 g, then check the figures for the portion you plan to have. Check the current packaging before relying on a specific figure.

  • Counting a whole bag as one portion

    A 125 g bag of Chio or a 150 g bag of Lay’s is larger than the 30 g portion stated for these products. The figures per portion therefore don’t describe the whole bag.

    Decide how much you want to have in advance and use the portion size on the packaging to assess the nutrition information for that amount.

  • Checking your delivery slot only after choosing a product

    A product you see online may not be available when you want your groceries delivered. The terms for placing a separate order may also matter.

    Choose your delivery slot first, then check whether you can add the bag to your existing grocery order.

Frequently asked questions

Does lower fat also mean less salt?

No. A lower fat content doesn’t, in itself, tell you anything about the salt content. Per 100 g, Jumbo lists Chio Oven Chips Paprika Flavour as containing 9.2 g of fat and 1.6 g of salt, compared with 13 g of fat and 0.82 g of salt for Lay’s Oven Baked Roasted Paprika. Check both figures on the packaging of the product you buy.

What portion size is stated for these paprika-flavoured oven-baked crisps?

The product information reviewed gives a portion size of 30 g for both Chio Oven Chips Paprika Flavour and Lay’s Oven Baked Roasted Paprika. A bag contains more than one portion, so don’t compare the nutrition information per portion with that for a whole bag.

Which allergens should I check for in these varieties?

For Lay’s Oven Baked Roasted Paprika, check the milk warning. For Chio Oven Chips Paprika Flavour, check for barley and possible traces of milk, sesame, soya and wheat. Always read the current allergen information on the packaging of the bag you buy.

Can I have a single bag of paprika crisps delivered on its own?

That depends on the supermarket’s ordering terms and the delivery slot you choose. Check whether the bag is available for your delivery slot and whether you can add it to an existing grocery order.
