Who is this choice relevant to?

Students looking to choose a lower-fat option

You’re looking for paprika crisps with less fat per 100 g than a regular variety. Albert Heijn’s product pages let you compare Chio Oven Chips Paprika, Lay’s Oven Baked Roasted Paprika and regular Lay’s Paprika.

Students who want to compare salt content too

You don’t want to mistake a claim about less fat for less salt. The two oven-baked varieties on Albert Heijn’s product pages have different salt values per 100 g.

Students who need to check allergens

Check the latest label before buying a bag: Lay’s Oven Baked Roasted Paprika lists milk, while Chio Oven Chips Paprika lists barley as a gluten-containing cereal.

What should you look for when choosing?

When buying snacks for your move, first compare the fat content per 100 g of the same paprika variety. Then check the salt content and portion size separately, and if you have an allergy, check the label on the bag you’re buying.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Fat content Compare the fat per 100 g of the exact paprika variety you’ve chosen; also check what a claim about less fat is comparing it with. If I want to choose a lower-fat option, I need to be able to compare the values side by side. For around 50% of consumers, fat content is the top priority.
Salt and portion size Check the salt per 100 g and the stated portion size. Albert Heijn lists 1.6 g of salt per 100 g for Chio Oven Chips Paprika and 0.82 g for Lay’s Oven Baked Roasted Paprika. While I’m packing, I want to know how much I’m serving up, rather than looking only at the fat content. For around 30% of consumers, salt and portion size matter most.
Allergens and where to shop Check the latest label for allergens and see whether the variety you’ve chosen is available from the shop or delivery service you want to use. When buying snacks for my move, I want to be able to find a suitable bag and check the ingredients if needed. These practical considerations make the difference for around 20% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Taking ‘less fat’ on the front of the pack at face value

    A claim about reduced fat is based on a comparison. Lay’s says Oven Baked Roasted Paprika contains 50% less fat than regular potato crisps; that doesn’t mean it contains less fat than every other oven-baked crisp.

    Compare the nutrition information per 100 g for the paprika varieties you’re considering, looking at fat and salt separately.

  • Counting the whole bag as one portion

    Albert Heijn’s product pages list a 30 g portion for both Chio Oven Chips Paprika and Lay’s Oven Baked Roasted Paprika. A bag contains more than one portion.

    Serve a portion in a bowl if you want to keep track of how much you eat while unpacking.

  • Skipping the label on oven-baked crisps

    How crisps are made tells you nothing about whether they contain allergens. Lay’s Oven Baked Roasted Paprika lists milk; Chio Oven Chips Paprika lists barley as a gluten-containing cereal and warns that other allergens may be present.

    If you have an allergy or intolerance, check the ingredients and allergens on the packaging of the product you’re actually buying.

  • Assuming a product listing guarantees it’s in stock

    Lidl Netherlands lists Snack Day Paprika crisps as available in store only. A product page doesn’t tell you whether the variety you want will be on the shelf when you shop.

    Check the current availability of the exact variety you want to take with you or have delivered.
