Who is this choice relevant to?

If organic is your priority

You’re looking for paprika crisps to take with you and want to check the organic label, rather than relying on words such as ‘natural’.

If portion size matters to you

You want to take a savoury snack to have with your lunch, so you’re checking how many crisps are in the portion and the nutritional information on the bag.

If you’re comparing fat content without requiring organic

You’re also considering oven-baked paprika crisps, but don’t treat a claim about less fat as proof of organic production.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, decide whether organic is a requirement for you. Then check the portion size and current packaging; a claim about less fat is just a separate point of comparison.

What to consider What to check Who it matters to
Organic label Check the EU organic logo and inspection code on the packaging. According to the European Commission, the logo is compulsory for most pre-packed organic products produced and sold in the EU. I want to take paprika crisps for lunch on the go and be able to check their organic label. For around 42% of consumers, this is the top priority.
Portion size and nutritional information Compare the amount you’re taking with the nutritional values per portion and per 100 g, including fat and salt. If I’m having crisps with my lunch, I want to know how much I’m actually taking. Around 33% of consumers give portion size and nutritional information top priority.
Portability and availability Check the bag size, current availability and whether the packaging is suitable for taking with you. When I’m out and about, I want a bag that suits my lunch plans and is available when I buy it. That’s the first consideration for around 25% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming organic crisps make a complete lunch

    An organic label doesn’t tell you how much energy or fat is in your portion. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre lists an average 40 g bowl of crisps as containing 215 kcal and 13.1 g of fat; the values for a particular bag may differ.

    Check the nutritional information for the crisps you choose and decide how much you want to take alongside the rest of your lunch.

  • Relying on the product title alone

    A title alone won’t give you all the current information about the organic label, ingredients and allergens. Albert Heijn notes that product information for its organic paprika crisps may change.

    Check the current packaging, including the EU organic logo, inspection details and ingredients and allergen information.

  • Taking a fat claim as an organic label

    Lay's claims that Oven Baked Roasted Paprika contains 50% less fat than regular potato crisps. This comparison alone says nothing about organic certification or the other nutritional values.

    Compare fat content on the same basis, and check the organic label separately if it matters to you.

Brands to consider

Jumbo

Jumbo lists 125 g bags of organic paprika crisps; one product page describes them as organic potato crisps with paprika flavour.

  • For an organic paprika variety, Jumbo lists the label ‘NL-BIO-01 EU / Non-EU Agriculture’.
  • Check the current packaging for the ingredients and organic label.

Albert Heijn

Albert Heijn lists AH Organic Paprika Crisps and, separately, AH Organic Ridged Crisps, Paprika Flavour.

  • The two product names distinguish between regular and ridged crisps.
  • Albert Heijn says information about ingredients, nutritional values and allergens may change; check the packaging.

Smaakt Bio

Jumbo lists Smaakt Bio Potato Chips Paprika in a 125 g pack.

  • The listing specifies both the paprika variety and the bag size.
  • Check the current packaging for the organic label, ingredients and nutritional information.

Lay's

Lay's Oven Baked Roasted Paprika is an oven-baked alternative for anyone who doesn’t require organic.

  • Lay's claims that this particular variety contains 50% less fat than regular potato crisps.

Frequently asked questions

How can I recognise organic paprika crisps?

Check the organic label and inspection details on the packaging. According to the European Commission, the EU organic logo is compulsory for most pre-packed organic products produced and sold in the EU. For example, Jumbo lists ‘NL-BIO-01 EU / Non-EU Agriculture’ for one organic paprika variety.

Can organic paprika crisps replace lunch?

An organic label doesn’t automatically make crisps a complete lunch. Consider the portion and what else you’re eating; according to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, 40 g of average crisps contains 215 kcal and 13.1 g of fat, although values vary by product.

What should I check for ingredients and allergens?

Read the current packaging before eating the crisps. Albert Heijn says that online information about its organic paprika crisps, including ingredients, nutritional values and allergens, may change.

Are oven-baked paprika crisps organic too?

An oven-baked cooking method or a claim about less fat doesn’t prove that crisps are organic. Lay's claims that Oven Baked Roasted Paprika contains 50% less fat than regular potato crisps; if organic matters to your choice, check the label separately.
