If organic is a must for your drinks spread, choose paprika crisps bearing the European organic logo. Then decide which texture and paprika flavour you prefer, and check the current packaging if ingredients or allergens are important to your guests.
You want to serve paprika crisps with your drinks spread and look for the European organic logo — the green leaf — on the packaging. Skal Biocontrole describes this logo as a way to identify organic products.
You’re looking for paprika crisps with a thickness, ridged finish or crunch that goes well with the other snacks and suits your guests’ tastes.
Your choice depends on the ingredients, allergens or a dietary claim on the label. So check the current packaging before serving the crisps to your guests.
Start with the logo if organic is a requirement. Then choose the texture and flavour you want to serve, taking the ingredients and current availability into account.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who is it important to? |
|---|---|---|
| Organic logo | Look for the European green leaf on the packaging. According to Skal Biocontrole, this logo is compulsory for pre-packed foods produced in the EU and sold as organic. | If I’m choosing organic snacks for my drinks spread, I want to be able to check that claim on the label. Around 33% of consumers put this logo check first. |
| Texture and paprika flavour | Compare a standard crisp with a ridged or hand-cooked version. Check whether the product information gives specific details about the paprika ingredients. | I want crisps with a texture and paprika flavour that suit my guests and complement the other snacks. Around 27% of consumers put this choice first. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the current ingredients list and any ‘may contain’ information on the packaging, especially if your guests need to avoid specific ingredients. | When I’m sharing a bowl of crisps with guests, I need to know which ingredients may be relevant to them. For around 20% of consumers, this is the top priority. |
| Current availability | Check whether the variety you’ve chosen is currently available to order or in store; an existing product page doesn’t confirm that it is. | I want to know before the drinks gathering whether I can actually buy or order the crisps I’ve chosen. Around 20% of consumers prioritise this practical consideration. |
The logo tells you about organic production, not how much energy, fat or salt the crisps contain. If you want to compare those values, you’ll need the nutrition table.
Check the logo first to confirm the product is organic, then compare nutritional values on the same basis, such as per 100 g.
