People who put lower fat first
You want to serve paprika crisps, so you’re comparing oven-baked varieties with regular potato crisps. As well as fat, check the salt, energy and allergens for the variety you choose.
Who are these crisp options for?
Label-checkers who also watch their salt
You want to compare fat, saturated fat, salt and energy on the same basis. That matters when looking at the oven-baked varieties in this comparison: according to Albert Heijn’s product pages, their salt values per 100 g differ.
Shoppers considering pack size and where to shop
You’re choosing crisps for a group and want to know how much is in a bag. If lower fat matters too, check the nutrition information for the exact own-brand variety rather than judging by pack size.
What should you look for in paprika crisps for a get-together?
First, compare the nutrition values per 100 g for the varieties you’re considering. Then check what the stated serving size and ingredients mean for your choice.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Less fat | Compare fat and saturated fat per 100 g. If a product claims to contain less fat, check what it is being compared with. | If I want paprika crisps at a get-together but lower fat is my priority, I look for a specific fat value so I can compare varieties. Around 36% of consumers demonstrably give lower fat the highest priority. |
| Nutrition and serving size | Check salt and energy alongside fat per 100 g, then look at the stated serving size. | If you don’t want to choose based on fat alone, you’ll also want to see what the salt and energy values mean per serving. For around 29% of consumers, this broader comparison matters most. |
| Pack size and where to shop | Check the pack weight and the nutrition information for the exact variety you’re buying. | For a get-together with several people, I want to plan the amount and choose a suitable bag from my local shop. Around 21% of consumers prioritise pack size and where to shop. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the current ingredients list and check both the ‘contains’ and any ‘may contain’ statements on the packaging. | If ingredients are important to me, I want to know which allergens are listed on the bag before serving. Around 14% of consumers make this their top priority. |
Common mistakes
-
Looking only at ‘less fat’
According to Albert Heijn, the Chio Oven Chips Paprika in this comparison contains less fat per 100 g than Lay's Oven Baked Roasted Paprika, but more salt. So a claim about fat doesn’t tell you how the other nutrition values compare.
Compare fat, saturated fat, salt and energy per 100 g, then check the serving size.
-
Assuming an older light variety is still available
Albert Heijn lists AH Light chips paprika on its product page as discontinued.
Check whether the exact variety is available and read the nutrition information on the bag you’re actually choosing.
-
Assuming an own-brand option contains less fat
The name, shop and pack size of paprika crisps don’t tell you how much fat they contain. For Snack Day Paprika Chips, Lidl refers shoppers to the packaging for ingredients and nutrition values.
Compare the labels of the specific own-brand and oven-baked varieties before choosing based on fat.
-
Checking allergens only after choosing
The Lay's Oven Baked Roasted Paprika in this comparison lists milk; Chio Oven Chips Paprika lists barley and other allergen statements. This information varies by product.
Check the current allergen statement on the exact packaging every time you buy.

Frequently asked questions
Are oven-baked paprika crisps always the lowest-salt option?
No. ‘Oven-baked’ on its own doesn’t tell you which variety contains less salt. Albert Heijn lists 0.82 g of salt per 100 g for Lay's Oven Baked Roasted Paprika and 1.6 g per 100 g for Chio Oven Chips Paprika, so compare the exact products on the same basis.
Should I compare paprika crisps per 100 g or per serving?
Compare products per 100 g first, so different bags and serving sizes are measured on the same basis. Then check the serving size on the packaging and how much you want to serve.
Which allergens should I check in these oven-baked varieties?
Read the allergen statement on the exact bag you’re buying. Albert Heijn’s product information lists milk for Lay's Oven Baked Roasted Paprika; for Chio Oven Chips Paprika, it lists barley and the possible presence of, among others, milk, sesame, soya and wheat.
Can I rely on a product page alone for nutrition values?
Use the packaging of the variety you choose for the latest nutrition information. Albert Heijn warns that product information can change; you can also check fat, salt and allergens on supermarket own-brand packaging before comparing products.
