If you’re mainly looking for lower-fat paprika crisps when doing a quick top-up shop, Lay's Oven Baked Paprika 150 g is a useful product to compare: Albert Heijn states that it contains 50% less fat than regular potato crisps, while Jumbo lists 13 g of fat per 100 g. Compare the energy, salt and pack size too, and check the allergens. Lower fat does not mean the product is suitable for someone who needs to avoid milk.
Who is this choice relevant to?
Shoppers who compare fat content first
You want to choose paprika crisps based on the fat content per 100 g, not just the wording on the packet. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list a specific lower-fat claim and nutritional information for Lay's Oven Baked Paprika.
Shoppers who want to pick up a pack quickly
You want to know what you can compare if your preferred product isn’t available in store or online. A regular paprika or own-brand variety isn’t automatically a lower-fat choice; you’ll need to check the nutritional information for that specific variety.
Shoppers who need to check allergens
If you need to avoid milk, the ingredients and allergen information take priority over a lower-fat claim. Albert Heijn’s product information lists milk for Lay's Oven Baked Paprika; check the packet you buy too.
What should you look for when choosing?
Start with what matters most to you: a demonstrably lower fat content, the rest of the label information or a suitable pack you can buy straight away.

Common mistakes
-
Taking ‘oven baked’ as a verdict on the whole snack
A lower fat content doesn’t tell you how much energy or salt the product contains. Jumbo lists 427 kcal and 0,82 g of salt per 100 g for Lay's Oven Baked Paprika.
Compare fat, energy and salt on the same basis, such as per 100 g, then consider how much of the pack you plan to eat.
-
Relying on an old Light listing
Jumbo says Lay's Light Paprika is no longer in its online range. So an earlier product listing doesn’t guarantee that you can order this variety for your top-up shop.
Check availability with the retailer you plan to buy from. If you choose an alternative, compare the nutritional information for the exact product again.
-
Overlooking allergens because of the fat claim
Albert Heijn’s product information lists milk for Lay's Oven Baked Paprika. A lower-fat claim doesn’t change the allergen information.
If you need to avoid an ingredient, check the allergens on the packet first; only then compare the other nutritional values.
-
Assuming different product listings are identical
Jumbo lists 427 kcal per 100 g for Lay's Oven Baked Paprika, while a Joybuy listing with the same product name gives 440 kcal per 100 g. The name alone is therefore not enough to assume that nutritional values from different listings are interchangeable.
Use the packet you buy for your final comparison, and check the information for the specific variety when shopping online.
Relevant brands to compare
Lay's
Oven Baked Paprika 150 g is the Lay's variety to consider if you specifically want to compare lower-fat options.
- Albert Heijn states that this variety contains 50% less fat than regular potato crisps; Jumbo lists 13 g of fat per 100 g.
- These figures don’t automatically apply to regular paprika or other Lay's varieties. For Oven Baked Paprika, check the milk listing too.
Chio
Jumbo lists Chio Oven Chips Paprika Flavour 125 g as a separate paprika option.
- This gives you a specific product to compare with other paprika crisps.
- Don’t assume that ‘Oven Chips’ means a lower fat content. Check the nutritional information for this exact variety before choosing it.
Jumbo
Jumbo’s range includes its own-brand paprika crisps and ridged crisps alongside branded varieties.
- The options listed include Jumbo Paprika Chips 250 g and Jumbo Ribbelchips Paprika 335 g.

Snack Day
Lidl describes Snack Day Paprika Chips as a 250 g pack available in store only.
- This is an option to look at if you’re shopping in store for paprika crisps.
- Don’t judge a potential reduction in fat by the brand name or pack size; check the label on the packet.
