Who is this choice relevant to?

Budget-conscious shopper looking for organic

You’re looking for paprika crisps that meet your organic requirements, and you check the packet size so you don’t confuse different pack sizes.

Shopper who compares labels

Alongside the organic label, you want to check the ingredients, allergens and nutritional information. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises comparing similar products by their nutritional value per 100 g.

Shopper with a preference about ingredients

As well as an organic label, you’re looking for information about things like the oil used or an explicit vegan label. Check these details on the packet you’re planning to buy.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, check the organic label on the packet in question. Then compare the pack size and label information of products that meet your requirements.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Organic label For a pre-packed food produced in the EU and sold as organic, look for the EU organic logo on the current packaging. Skal Biocontrole says the logo is mandatory in this situation. I don’t want to accidentally pick up regular paprika crisps when organic is my main requirement. For around 42% of shoppers, the organic requirement comes first.
Packet size Check the stated weight of each packet and compare only options that meet your organic requirements. On a limited budget, I want to know how many crisps are in a packet before choosing between pack sizes. For around 33% of shoppers, budget is the main consideration.
Label information Compare salt and saturated fat per 100 g, and read the ingredients and any highlighted allergens on the current packaging. If ingredients or allergens are decisive for me, I don’t want to rely on the organic logo alone. Around 25% of shoppers give checking the label the highest priority.

Common mistakes

  • Counting regular paprika crisps as an organic option

    A regular paprika variety won’t automatically meet your preference for an organic product. A general label for an organic range doesn’t tell you anything about a specific packet of crisps either.

    Check the organic label on each packet individually before comparing products.

  • Overlooking different packet sizes

    Two packets of paprika crisps may contain different amounts. Without checking the stated weight, you’re not comparing like for like.

    Check the pack size and compare only packets that meet the same organic requirements.

  • Assuming an old product listing is a current buying option

    Jumbo lists Smaakt Bio Potato Chips Paprika 125 g as no longer available in its online range. Albert Heijn marks Bio Fan Aardappelchips paprika as discontinued.

    Check the current store listing or shelf before including either of these products in your choice.

  • Relying on the organic logo instead of checking the label

    The organic label won’t tell you which allergens or nutritional values apply to those particular paprika crisps.

    Read the ingredients and allergen information on the packet. To compare nutritional values, compare similar products per 100 g, as advised by the Netherlands Nutrition Centre.

Brands to consider

Albert Heijn Biologisch

Albert Heijn has listings for AH Biologisch Chips paprika and AH Biologisch Ribbelchips paprika smaak.

  • You can look at a standard crisp and a ridged variety as separate products.
  • Check the current ingredients, allergens and nutritional information for each packet; the two varieties may not have the same recipe.

Jumbo

Jumbo lists 125 g organic paprika crisps; one product listing mentions the European Organic Logo.

  • The logo information gives you a specific way to identify the relevant variety on the packaging.
  • Jumbo has different listings for 125 g paprika crisps described as organic. Check which packet and product information you’re actually looking at.

Smaakt

Jumbo listed Smaakt Bio Potato Chips Paprika 125 g as made with organic ingredients and sunflower oil, with a vegan label.

  • The listing gives shoppers an idea of what to look for if they’re after a particular ingredient base.
  • According to Jumbo, this product is no longer available in its online range. Check a current packet before relying on the details listed.

Bio Fan

Albert Heijn listed Bio Fan Aardappelchips paprika 125 g as an organic product.

  • The previous product listing makes it clear which paprika crisps it refers to.
  • Albert Heijn marks the product as discontinued. Don’t take this listing as confirmation that it’s available to buy now.

Frequently asked questions

How can I identify organic paprika crisps?

Check the organic label on the current packet. According to Skal Biocontrole, the EU organic logo is mandatory for pre-packed foods produced in the EU and sold as organic. For other origins or types of packaging, the label needs to be assessed separately.

What does organic tell me about the nutritional value of paprika crisps?

The organic label alone doesn’t tell you about the nutritional value of the crisps. Compare the nutritional information of similar products per 100 g, including salt and saturated fat, rather than drawing conclusions from the logo alone.

How do I compare packets of different sizes?

Check the stated weight of each packet before comparing pack sizes. To compare nutritional values, use the same basis of 100 g, as advised by the Netherlands Nutrition Centre.

What should I check on the packet if allergens matter to me?

Read the ingredients and allergen information on the current packaging of the specific product. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says allergens must be clearly and accurately listed on the label. Don’t rely on the ingredients list for another variety or an old product listing.

Can I still consider a product that’s no longer in the online range?

Only if you can find a current way to buy it. An older listing may help you identify a variety, but it doesn’t confirm that the packet is available now. Check the store listing or shelf.
