Who is this choice for?

Crisp buyers planning a film night or drinks with friends

You’re looking for a bag to share and want to check that there’s enough for everyone, rather than judging by pack size alone.

Online grocery shoppers with a full basket

You’re ordering crisps with your other groceries and want to know whether your chosen supermarket delivers to your address and what order conditions apply.

Buyers who care about portions or the label

You’re looking for individual bags, a particular flavour or clear nutritional information. If you have an allergy, check the ingredients for the exact variety you want to buy.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether you want a bag to share or individual portions. Then check your chosen variety and the delivery options available for your basket.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters to
Quantity to share Check the bag’s weight and choose a flavour that suits your group. If I’m putting crisps out for a film night or drinks with friends, I want to have enough without ordering more than I need. Around 42% of consumers would put the amount to share first.
Delivery requirements Check availability for your address and whether your basket meets the order requirements. When I add crisps to my regular grocery shop, I want to receive my order at a convenient time. Around 33% of consumers would consider delivery requirements the most important factor.
Portions and labelling Check how many individual bags are included and read the ingredients, allergen and nutritional information for the exact variety. I want to be able to hand out individual bags or know what’s in the crisps I’ve chosen in advance; checking the label is especially important if I have an allergy. Around 25% of consumers would focus primarily on portions and labelling.

Common mistakes

  • Relying on the flavour name if you have an allergy

    Ingredients and allergen warnings can vary between varieties. Joybuy lists wheat and gluten, and possible traces of milk and soya, in Pringles Original 12 x 40 g; this doesn’t apply to every Pringles variety.

    Read the ingredients and allergen information on the exact pack before eating the crisps.

  • Assuming a brand page means delivery is available

    A selection of crisps being shown doesn’t mean you can order those products using your preferred delivery option.

    Check separately which ordering and delivery options Lidl offers for your address for Snack Day products.

Brands to consider

Jumbo

Jumbo offers own-brand crisps in its online grocery range, including ready salted, paprika and ridged varieties.

  • There are several own-brand varieties to choose from if you’re looking for a bag to share.
  • Check availability for your address and the delivery requirements.

Albert Heijn

Albert Heijn lists AH Chips Naturel as an item you can order online from its range of crisps.

  • You can add an own-brand variety to your regular online grocery order.
  • The delivery slot available depends on your order and delivery address.

Lay's

Lay's has several crisp ranges, including MAX, Oven Baked and Sensations, and also offers small bags in multipacks.

  • Choosing between a specific product range and individual bags can suit different occasions.
  • Check the nutritional information and ingredients for your chosen variety; a statement about one product range won’t necessarily apply to all Lay's crisps.

Pringles

Pringles sells stacked crisps in a tube, in a range of flavours and pack sizes.

  • A tube is a different type of packaging from a typical bag of crisps.
  • For Pringles Original 12 x 40 g, Joybuy lists wheat and gluten, and possible traces of milk and soya. If you have an allergy, check the exact pack.

Snack Day

Snack Day is a Lidl snack brand offering crisps and other savoury snacks.

  • The range includes a variety of savoury snacks.
  • Check separately whether you can order the crisps you want using your preferred delivery option.

Frequently asked questions

How do I compare bags of crisps in different sizes?

Check the weight and think about how many crisps you’ll need for the occasion. A larger bag isn’t necessarily more practical if you want to hand out individual portions.

Can I get a single bag of crisps delivered?

It depends on the ordering requirements for your address. Jumbo has a minimum order for delivery; check your basket to make sure your order meets the requirements and see which delivery slot is available.

Where can I find allergen information for crisps?

Read the ingredients list for the exact variety you’re buying. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority states that labelling is required for 14 allergens; if you have an allergy, check the current packaging too.

Can I apply a nutritional claim to all crisps from the same brand?

No, a claim about a specific product range doesn’t automatically apply to other varieties from that brand. If you want to compare products, check the nutrition table for the flavour and pack you’ve chosen.

Are average nutritional values enough to compare crisps?

No, use the nutritional information for the specific products you’re comparing. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre gives average values for a 40 g portion of crisps, including 215 kcal, 13,1 g of fat and 0,53 g of salt; the values for individual varieties may differ.
