Common misconceptions
-
Assuming organic means a lighter crisp
Organic describes how a product is made. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre says there’s no general evidence that organic food is healthier than conventional food.
Choose organic if the production method matters to you, but assess a late-night snack separately by portion size, energy, fat and salt.
-
Assuming a product page means it’s currently available
Jumbo lists both its organic paprika crisps and Smaakt Bio Potato Chips Paprika as no longer available in its online range.
When ordering, check that the exact variant you want is currently available.
-
Assuming a dietary claim applies to every variant from a brand
A claim on one flavour or pack doesn’t automatically apply to another. Albert Heijn also warns that product information can change.
Always check the current ingredients list, allergen information and any may-contain warnings on the bag you’re buying.
