Choose paprika crisps that are clearly labelled as organic on the packaging, then decide how much you want alongside your lunch sandwich. Compare the nutritional information per 100 g and check the current ingredients and allergen information: organic certification alone says nothing about nutritional value.
You’re looking for paprika crisps to go with a lunch sandwich and don’t want to rely on the word ‘natural’ alone. Check the bag for the EU organic logo, the code of the control body and the indication of origin.
You’d like something savoury alongside your sandwich, but don’t want to automatically eat a whole bag. Compare the bag size and nutritional information per 100 g, then decide how much you want to have.
You want to check what’s in the crisps before eating them. Read the packaging on the bag you buy: Albert Heijn warns that online ingredient and allergen information can change.
When choosing organic paprika crisps, first check the labelling on the packaging. Then look at the bag size and the label to decide what will go well with your lunch sandwich.
| What to look for | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Organic labelling | Check the bag for the EU organic logo, the code of the control body and the indication of origin. Make sure it’s the paprika variety. | If I’m choosing organic paprika crisps to go with my sandwich, I want to be able to check the labelling on the bag. Around 44% of consumers put this check first. |
| Bag size and portion | Compare the net weight and decide how many grams you want alongside your sandwich, even if you’re sharing the bag. | When I want a savoury addition to my sandwich, I want to decide in advance how many crisps to have, rather than assuming I’ll eat the whole bag. For around 33% of consumers, portion size is the main consideration. |
| Label information | Read the current ingredients and allergen information. Compare energy, salt and saturated fat on the same basis, for example per 100 g. | When ingredients or allergens affect my choice, I want to be able to read the label on the bag itself. Around 23% of consumers give this check top priority. |
An organic certification mark relates to certification, not the amount of energy, fat or salt. Albert Heijn lists AH Biologisch Chips paprika as containing 477 kcal, 3 g of saturated fat and 1.2 g of salt per 100 g.
Use the organic label as your first check, then compare the nutritional information per 100 g. Also decide how much you want alongside your sandwich.
The brand name and paprika flavour don’t tell you which variety is organic. An organic product listing doesn’t automatically apply to other crisps from that brand.
Check the exact variety and the EU organic logo on the packaging you buy.
Albert Heijn warns that product information, including ingredients and allergens, can change. That’s why the packaging on the product you buy matters if you have an allergy or specific ingredient requirements.
Before eating, read the current allergen information on the packaging. If you’re unsure, ask the retailer or manufacturer for more information.
Albert Heijn lists AH Biologisch Chips paprika as an organic paprika variety.
Jumbo lists organic paprika crisps in a 125 g bag.
Jumbo lists Smaakt Bio Potato Chips Paprika as paprika crisps in a 125 g bag.
For a pre-packed bag, check for the EU organic logo and make sure the code of the control body and the indication of origin are also shown. According to the European Commission, the organic logo may only be used for products certified as organic. Also check that you have the paprika variety.
No. Organic certification isn’t an assessment of nutritional value. Compare the energy, fat and salt on the label of the specific bag, preferably per 100 g, and decide how much you want alongside your sandwich.
Read the allergen information on the packaging of the crisps you buy. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says allergens must be clearly listed on labels for pre-packed foods. If you have an allergy, don’t rely solely on a product page you viewed earlier.
Seal the bag well after opening and follow the storage instructions on the packaging. For AH Biologisch Chips paprika, Albert Heijn recommends storing the product in a cool, dry place away from light. Check the information on the bag you buy.
