Common mistakes
-
Assuming organic means low in salt
Organic certification doesn’t tell you how much salt crisps contain. Albert Heijn lists 1,2 g of salt per 100 g for AH Biologisch Chips paprika.
Use the certification to check the organic labelling, and the nutritional information to compare salt and portion sizes. Don’t treat crisps on their own as a complete lunch.
-
Assuming a product page means the item is in stock
Jumbo’s product pages for two organic paprika crisps state that these products are no longer part of its online range.
Before buying, check whether the variety you want is available to order or in stock at your local store.
-
Confusing a pulse-based snack with potato crisps
Leev Biologisch Yes Peas Paprika is a chickpea-based snack, not a potato-based paprika crisp. Having the same paprika flavour doesn’t make them the same type of product.
Check the product name and ingredients if potato crisps are a must for you.
