Who is this choice relevant to?

For anyone who wants to verify organic status

You’re looking for paprika crisps for a late-night snack and want to be able to check their organic status, rather than relying on words such as ‘natural’.

For anyone who wants to stick to a small portion

You want to know what counts as a serving and compare the nutritional information for the exact variety before opening the bag.

For anyone choosing by texture and ingredients

You’re deciding between thin potato crisps, ridged crisps and pulses-based crisps, but want to stick to organic options.

What should you look for when choosing?

What to look for What to check when buying Who it matters to
Organic label Check the EU organic logo and inspection code on the exact bag. According to Skal Biocontrole, the logo is mandatory for pre-packed food produced in the EU and sold as organic. If organic is a requirement for me, I want to be able to find the label on the bag I choose. For around 46% of consumers, this is the first thing they check.
Serving size and nutritional information Compare the stated serving size and the energy, fat and salt values per 100 g and per serving. For a late-night snack, I want to be able to limit the amount and know what the label says is in that serving. This is the top priority for around 27% of consumers.
Texture and base ingredients Check whether they’re regular potato crisps, ridged crisps or hummus crisps. If you have dietary requirements, also read the ingredients and allergen information for the specific variety. I’d rather choose based on the texture I want or whether the base is potato or pulses. Around 27% of consumers give this their top priority.

Common mistakes

  • Mistaking natural-looking packaging for an organic logo

    Green packaging or the word ‘natural’ doesn’t tell you whether the paprika crisps you’ve chosen are labelled as organic.

    Before choosing the crisps as an organic option, check the EU organic logo and inspection code on the exact packaging.

  • Relying only on a claim about reduced fat

    A claim like this doesn’t give you the full nutritional picture. Ekoplaza lists 2.5 g of salt per 100 g for Trafo Hummus Chips Paprika.

    Compare the energy, fat and salt per 100 g and per stated serving for the varieties you’re considering.

  • Assuming a whole brand meets a particular dietary requirement

    Ingredients and allergens can vary between flavours and varieties. For example, Albert Heijn lists milk in Lay's Oven Baked Roasted Paprika.

    Read the current ingredients and allergen information for the exact product you want to buy.

Brands to consider

AH Biologisch

Albert Heijn lists the EU organic logo and inspection code NL-BIO-01 for both Chips paprika and Ribbelchips paprika smaak.

  • According to Albert Heijn, the classic variety has a stated serving size of 25 g; the ridged variety offers a different shape.
  • Compare the nutritional information for each variety: the same organic brand name doesn’t mean the values are the same.

GoPure

Ekoplaza describes GoPure Classic chips paprika as organic potato crisps.

  • Ekoplaza describes this specific variety as vegan and allergen-free.
  • If allergens are a deciding factor, check the current information on the packaging rather than relying on the product description alone.

Trafo

Ekoplaza describes both organic paprika potato crisps and paprika hummus crisps from Trafo.

  • The hummus crisps have a different base ingredient from the potato crisps.
  • Ekoplaza lists 2.5 g of salt per 100 g for Trafo Hummus Chips Paprika and says the product may contain milk. Check dietary requirements and nutritional information for each variety.

Lay's

Lay's Paprika and Oven Baked Roasted Paprika are included here as comparison points for regular paprika crisps, not as verified organic options.

  • These two varieties show why you should assess regular crisps and oven-baked crisps separately.
  • The relevant product information from Albert Heijn doesn’t show an organic label for these varieties. Albert Heijn also lists milk in Oven Baked Roasted Paprika.
