Who is this choice relevant to?

If organic certification matters to you

You want to serve paprika crisps at an Easter egg hunt and be able to check the organic status on the packaging, rather than relying on how the pack looks.

If you need to consider dietary requirements

You’re buying for a group and want to be able to check the ingredients, allergens and any dietary claims on the pack you hand out.

If you’re buying for a group

You want to match the amount of crisps to the number of people and the other snacks, and check in advance whether the pack you’ve chosen is available.

What should you look for when buying?

When choosing paprika crisps for an Easter egg hunt with organic credentials in mind, start by checking the packaging. Then consider dietary requirements and how much you need to decide which pack is right for you.

What to consider What to check Especially relevant if
Organic status Check for the EU organic logo, inspection code and indication of agricultural origin on the pack you’ve chosen. The European Commission says the logo is reserved for certified organic products. I want to bring paprika crisps whose organic status I can check on the pack. Around 42% of consumers put this check first.
Ingredients and allergens Read the ingredients list and allergen information on the exact pack, and check any dietary claims for that same variant. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains how allergens are labelled on prepacked foods. If I’m sharing crisps with others, I want to take their dietary requirements into account when choosing. Around 33% of consumers put checking ingredients and allergens first.
Pack size and availability Compare the net weight with the amount of other snacks, and check that your chosen variant is available before buying. According to Albert Heijn, AH Biologisch paprika crisps contain 125 g per pack. When buying for a group, I want to bring enough crisps without opening more packs than necessary. For around 25% of consumers, quantity and availability matter most.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a natural look means a product is organically certified

    Words or images on the front of a pack don’t, on their own, prove that a product is organically certified. The European Commission says that use of the EU organic logo is linked to certification.

    If you’re choosing an organic product, check the logo and related details on the packaging, not just the wording on the front.

  • Assuming a product page confirms that an item is in stock

    Jumbo’s product pages for two organic paprika crisp variants say that they are no longer part of its online range. So, product information on a page like this doesn’t mean you can order the pack.

    Check that the exact variant is available at the shop you plan to buy from shortly before you go shopping.

  • Assuming dietary claims apply to a different pack

    Albert Heijn says that ingredients and dietary or allergy information may change. So a claim on a product page or for another variant isn’t a substitute for checking the pack you’re buying.

    Read the current ingredients list, allergen information and any dietary claims on that pack.

  • Assuming organic means a particular nutritional profile

    Organic certification doesn’t automatically mean a product contains less fat or salt. Nutritional value is a separate feature of the crisps you choose.

    Compare the nutritional information per 100 g or per serving if it’s relevant to your choice.
