Stock-up shopper who puts organic first
You want to buy several bags, but only if the organic certification applies to the exact variety you’ve chosen. Check the EU organic logo and the related control information to confirm.
Who is this relevant to?
Snack shopper comparing texture and labels
You prefer plain or ridged paprika crisps and, before buying several bags, you also check the ingredients, nutrition information and serving details.
What should you look for when stocking up?
First, check the organic certification for the variety you’ve chosen. Then choose how many bags to buy based on the best-before date, and check the label if texture or nutritional information will influence your choice.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Organic certification | Check the EU organic logo and the control body code for the exact variety you’ve chosen. | I only want to stock up on bags whose organic certification I can check for that specific variety; around 42% of consumers say demonstrable organic certification is their top priority. |
| How much to stock up on | Decide how many bags you’ll use before the best-before date, and whether you can store them somewhere cool, dry and dark. | My stock should match what I’ll actually use, without opening several bags at once; around 33% of consumers say getting the right amount is their top priority. |
| Label and servings | Compare details such as energy and salt per 100 g, and check the serving information on the packaging. | If I’m buying several bags, I want to weigh up texture and nutritional value against the servings I’ll have; around 25% of consumers say label information is their top priority. |
Common mistakes
-
Assuming organic means a particular nutritional value
Organic certification doesn’t tell you how much energy or salt the crisps contain. Albert Heijn lists AH Biologisch Chips paprika at 477 kcal and 1,2 g of salt per 100 g; the ridged variety contains 532 kcal and 1,2 g of salt per 100 g.
Compare the nutritional information for the exact variety you’re buying, both per 100 g and per serving.
-
Treating an old product listing as a current option to order
Jumbo says that Jumbo Biologische Paprika Chips and Smaakt Bio Potato Chips Paprika are no longer in its online range. Albert Heijn marks Bio Fan Aardappelchips paprika as discontinued.
Before stocking up, check whether the product you want is available to order again, then read the current packaging and check the best-before date.
-
Opening several bags at once
Albert Heijn advises storing its organic paprika crisps somewhere dark and dry. For the ridged variety, it also says to close the packaging securely after use.
Keep the other bags unopened, and reseal an opened bag securely after use.
