Snack lovers who choose organic
You’re specifically looking for organic paprika crisps and want to be able to check the EU organic logo, inspection code and country-of-origin statement on the pack you choose.
Choose organic paprika crisps if you’re after a savoury snack on the go, and check the EU organic logo, inspection code and country-of-origin statement on the variety you choose. Don’t treat them as a replacement for a quick breakfast: according to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, crisps aren’t part of the Dutch Wheel of Five, while it recommends choosing breakfast foods from the Wheel.
You’re specifically looking for organic paprika crisps and want to be able to check the EU organic logo, inspection code and country-of-origin statement on the pack you choose.
You want to grab something quickly, but you also need to decide whether you’re looking for a snack or still need breakfast.
You want to buy a specific organic variety, so you check whether you can actually add it to your order or find it in store.
A good choice when: You’re looking for something savoury to take with you and organic certification is a must.
The trade-off: The organic certification doesn’t mean crisps are suitable for breakfast.
A good choice when: You still need breakfast on the go; the Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends options such as wholegrain foods and combinations with fruit.
The trade-off: This kind of breakfast may take more preparation than grabbing a bag of crisps.

| Breakfast suitability and portion size | Read the nutritional information per 100 g and per serving, and decide how much you’ll actually take with you. | When I’m in a hurry, I don’t want to mistake crisps for a complete breakfast, so I pay attention to my portion size. For around 33% of consumers, this is the main consideration. |
| Availability | Check whether you can add that exact variety to your order or find it in your store. | When doing my shopping, I want to know whether the variety I’ve chosen is actually available. Availability is the priority for around 25% of consumers. |
Organic certification relates to how a product is made and checked. According to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, crisps aren’t part of the Dutch Wheel of Five and don’t replace a breakfast made up of choices from the Wheel.
Decide whether you need a snack or breakfast. If you’re after a quick breakfast, take a look at options such as the combinations with wholegrain foods and fruit recommended by the Netherlands Nutrition Centre.
Jumbo says that its own-brand organic paprika crisps and Smaakt Bio are no longer part of its online range.
Before ordering, check the status of the exact variety or ask whether it’s available in your store. If certification matters to you, don’t swap an organic variety for regular paprika crisps without checking.
According to the European Commission, the EU organic logo must relate to a certified product. The inspection code, country of origin and nutritional information are also relevant to your choice.

No. Treat organic paprika crisps as a snack, not a breakfast replacement. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre excludes crisps from the Dutch Wheel of Five and recommends choosing breakfast foods from the Wheel, such as wholemeal bread or a combination of yoghurt, porridge oats and fruit.
