Who is this choice for?

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.

Early risers craving something savoury

You want to grab something quickly, but you also need to decide whether you’re looking for a snack or still need breakfast.

Shoppers checking availability

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.

What should you look for when choosing?

Organic paprika crisps as a snack

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 quick 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.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters to
Organic certification Check the EU organic logo, inspection code and country-of-origin statement for the variety you choose. I want to take a savoury snack with me, but I’ll only choose a variety that’s demonstrably organic. For around 42% of consumers, this certification matters most.
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.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming organic means it’s a complete breakfast

    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.

  • Assuming a product listing means it’s currently available to order

    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.

  • Judging by the front of the pack alone

    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.

    Read the details for the variety you’ve chosen on the pack, including the ingredients and allergen information.

Frequently asked questions

How can I check whether paprika crisps are organic?

Check the EU organic logo, inspection code and country-of-origin statement on the pack you’ve chosen. According to the European Commission, the logo may only be used on products certified as organic by an authorised control body; the word ‘natural’ alone is no substitute for this certification.

Can organic paprika crisps replace a quick breakfast?

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.

How should I store organic paprika crisps for a snack later on?

Follow the storage instructions on the pack for the variety you’ve chosen. Albert Heijn recommends storing AH Biologisch Chips paprika in a cool, dry place away from light; also check the best-before date on the pack.

Should I check the ingredients and allergens again when I buy them again?

Yes. Even if you’ve bought them before, check the pack of the variety you receive. Albert Heijn says product information, including ingredients and allergen information, can change.
