When choosing paprika crisps for your organic shop, check the current packaging: look for the EU organic logo, the control body code and the origin statement. According to Albert Heijn, its smooth and ridged AH Biologisch paprika crisps have different energy and fat values per 100 g. Then compare the ingredients and nutritional information, and decide which texture you prefer.

Albert Heijn lists its two organic paprika varieties reviewed here as vegan, gluten-free and lactose-free. Check these claims and the ingredients on the current packaging.
