First, check that the specific paprika crisps are labelled organic; a natural look or short ingredients list isn’t enough. Then choose between classic potato crisps and a pulse-based snack. If any guests have dietary requirements, check both the product claims and the allergen information. Compare fat and salt per 100 g: a lower fat content doesn’t automatically mean less salt.
You want to choose paprika crisps for your guests that are verifiably organic, without relying on words such as ‘natural’. The certification mark and product details for the specific variety are more useful than the look of the bag.
You’re looking for a snack whose relevant claims are clearly stated in the product information. Check for any ‘may contain’ warnings too: a vegan or gluten-free claim doesn’t replace the allergen information.
You want to compare fat and salt per 100 g, and may be considering a pulse-based crisp instead of a potato one. The base ingredient and nutritional values are separate factors to consider.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Organic labelling | Check for the EU organic logo or organic control code on the specific variety. Skal Biocontrole states that the EU organic logo is mandatory for prepacked foods produced in the EU and sold as organic. | If I want to serve organic crisps, I don’t want to rely on a natural look. For around 42% of consumers, verifiably organic products come first. |
| Suitability for guests | Read the claims and allergen information on the current packaging, including any ‘may contain’ warnings. | When I have guests who eat a plant-based diet or need to avoid certain ingredients, I don’t want to assume a bag is suitable without checking the label. For around 33% of consumers, suitability for the group matters most. |
| Nutritional values and crisp base | Compare fat and salt on the same basis, per 100 g. Also consider whether you want potato crisps or a pulse-based snack. | If I’m choosing between potato and pulse-based crisps, I want to compare fat and salt before opting for a different base ingredient. For around 25% of consumers, nutritional values and the crisp base are the deciding factors. |
The organic certification mark doesn’t mean paprika crisps are low in fat or salt. According to Albert Heijn’s product information, AH Biologisch Chips paprika contains 28 g of fat and 1.2 g of salt per 100 g; Ekoplaza lists 25 g of fat and 2.5 g of salt per 100 g for Trafo Hummus chips paprika.
Compare both values per 100 g, and don’t let a single product claim determine your whole choice.
Ekoplaza describes Trafo Hummus chips paprika as vegan and gluten-free, but also states that the product may contain lactose. For GoPure Classic chips paprika, Ekoplaza notes possible traces of coriander and carrot.
If you have guests with allergies, check the allergen information on the packaging of the exact variety you’ve bought.
