When comparing lower-fat paprika crisps, start by checking the fat per 100 g, then look at the salt, allergens and how much you want to eat during your coffee break. Albert Heijn lists Chio Oven Chips Paprika as containing 9,2 g of fat and 1,6 g of salt per 100 g; Lay's Oven Baked Roasted Paprika contains 13 g of fat and 0,82 g of salt per 100 g. So which one suits you better depends on what matters to you alongside the lower-fat claim.
You want to enjoy paprika crisps during your morning break, but first compare the fat content and decide how much to take from the bag. Lay's and Chio both make a lower-fat claim; according to Albert Heijn, their fat content per 100 g differs.
The lower-fat claim isn’t your only consideration. Albert Heijn lists 0,82 g of salt per 100 g for Lay's Oven Baked Roasted Paprika and 1,6 g for Chio Oven Chips Paprika. Check the nutritional information on the pack you buy.
You read the ingredients and allergen information on the current pack before buying. According to Albert Heijn’s product information, Lay's Oven Baked Roasted Paprika contains milk; Chio Oven Chips Paprika contains barley and also warns that other allergens may be present.
