Common mistakes
-
Assuming ‘less fat’ means ‘less salt’
According to Albert Heijn’s product listing, Chio Oven Chips Paprika claims to contain 60% less fat than regular potato crisps, while the listed salt content for this variety is 1,6 g per 100 g. So the fat claim doesn’t tell you how much salt the product contains.
Compare fat, salt and energy separately per 100 g, then choose based on the factor that matters to you.
-
Guessing allergens from the name ‘paprika crisps’
The varieties reviewed have different ingredients: Albert Heijn’s product information lists milk for Lay's Oven Baked Roasted Paprika and barley for Chio Oven Chips Paprika. Chio also lists possible traces of other allergens.
If you have an allergy or intolerance, check the ingredients list and allergen information for the specific variety you’re buying.
-
Treating the whole pack as one break-time portion
According to Albert Heijn, a 150 g pack of Lay's Oven Baked Roasted Paprika contains five 30 g portions. So the pack’s total contents aren’t the same as one portion.
Check the portion size on the packaging and, if you like, serve out the amount you want to eat with your coffee beforehand.
-
Relying on an outdated product listing
Ingredients, nutrition information and availability can change between viewing and buying a product.
Check the product information just before you buy, then read the label on the pack when it arrives.
