Who is this choice for?

Student who requires organic certification

You want to bring an organic snack for your new room and are looking for a verifiable certification, not just claims on the front of the bag.

Budget-conscious mover

You’re buying snacks for your first few days after moving or for a housewarming, and want to choose pack sizes to suit the number of people eating.

Label-checking snack buyer

You want to check the ingredients, allergens and nutritional values for the exact variant. Organic certification doesn’t replace checking the label.

What should you look for?

First, decide whether organic certification is essential. Then compare the pack sizes and labels of the products you’re considering for your moving days.

What to consider What to check Who it matters to
Organic certification Check the EU organic logo, the control code and the indication of origin on the exact pack. If I want an organic snack for my new room, I need to be able to identify the certification on the bag. Around 36% of consumers prioritise verifiable organic status.
Pack size Check how much each bag contains and work out how many bags you’ll need for your moving days. If several people are eating, I want to bring enough without buying more bags than necessary. Around 29% of consumers prioritise keeping this within their moving budget.
Nutritional value and portion size Compare energy, fat and salt on the same basis, such as per 100 g, and check the stated portion size. While unpacking, I want to be able to gauge how much I’m eating from a bag, rather than treating the whole bag as one portion. Around 21% of consumers prioritise this nutritional and portion information.
Ingredients and allergens Read the ingredients and allergen information for the exact flavour and pack. If I avoid certain ingredients, I don’t want to rely on the flavour name alone. For around 14% of consumers, checking the label is their first buying priority.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming an organic certification tells you about nutritional value

    Certification relates to organic production and standards; it doesn’t tell you how much energy, fat or salt the crisps contain.

    As well as checking the certification, check the nutritional information per 100 g and the portion size on the pack.

  • Assuming a product listing means it’s currently available

    Jumbo states that Jumbo Biologische Paprika Chips 125 g and Smaakt Bio Potato Chips Paprika 125 g are no longer available online.

    Before doing your moving-day shop, check whether the exact variant you want is currently available.

  • Assuming all paprika crisps contain the same allergens

    Albert Heijn describes its AH Biologisch Chips paprika as vegan, gluten-free and lactose-free; according to Jumbo, its standard Jumbo Paprika Chips 250 g contains milk. This information applies to the variants named.

    Check the ingredients and allergens on every bag, even if you already know the flavour or brand.

Frequently asked questions

How can I identify organically certified paprika crisps?

Check the pack for the EU organic logo, the control body’s code and an indication of the origin of the agricultural ingredients. According to the European Commission, the organic logo may only be used on certified products that contain at least 95% organic ingredients.

Does an organic certification tell me anything about nutritional value?

No. Certification doesn’t indicate how much energy, fat or salt the crisps contain. Compare the nutritional information per 100 g on the bags you’re considering, and check the stated portion size too.

Why should I check the allergen information on organic paprika crisps too?

Organic certification doesn’t mean a product is allergen-free. Information also varies by variant: Albert Heijn describes AH Biologisch Chips paprika as lactose-free, while Jumbo lists milk in its standard Paprika Chips 250 g. So check the pack you’re actually buying.

How should I store crisps while moving?

Follow the storage advice on the pack; Albert Heijn recommends keeping AH Biologisch Chips paprika in a cool, dry place. Seal an opened bag well if you want to finish it later.
