Who is this choice for?

Certification-conscious shopper

You’re specifically looking for organic paprika crisps and want to check the label on the packaging, rather than relying on words such as ‘natural’ or ‘pure’. Look for the EU organic logo and control code.

Snacker on a quick coffee break

You fancy something savoury with your coffee, but don’t want to treat the whole bag as a portion by default. Check the net weight, the portion information and how much you plan to serve yourself.

Nutrition information comparer

You want to buy organic while also comparing salt, fat, saturated fat and energy. Compare them per 100 g so you can see the differences between potato crisps and pulses-based crisps.

What should you look for when choosing?

An organic certification helps you identify the type of product you’re looking for, but it doesn’t tell you how much salt or fat it contains.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Organic labelling Check the EU organic logo and control code on the packaging. I only want to choose paprika crisps whose organic status I can verify. For around 42% of consumers, this check comes first.
Nutrition information and portion size Compare salt, fat, saturated fat and energy per 100 g, then consider the portion you intend to have. For a small portion, I want to know how the nutritional values compare with what I serve myself. Around 33% of consumers prioritise this comparison.
Bag size and base ingredient Check the net weight and choose between potato crisps and pulses-based crisps. If I just want something savoury with my coffee, I want a suitable bag size and a type of crisp that appeals to me. This matters most to around 25% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming organic means low in salt or fat

    Ekoplaza’s product information lists 1.0 g of salt per 100 g for Go Pure Classic paprika crisps. For Trafo Hummus paprika crisps, it lists 2.5 g of salt and 25 g of fat per 100 g. So a lower fat content doesn’t tell you how much salt a product contains.

    Use the organic label as your first filter, then compare the nutrition information for the products you’re still considering, always per 100 g.

  • Relying only on a claim on the front of the pack

    A claim about one nutrient doesn’t tell you how much salt, fat or energy the crisps contain overall. The ingredients and portion size also matter when making your choice.

    Check the ingredients list, any allergen information and the full nutrition table on the packaging.

  • Assuming a product page confirms availability

    Jumbo provides product information for Jumbo Organic Paprika Crisps 125 g, but its product page also says the product is no longer part of its online range.

    Check whether your chosen variety is available at the shop where you do your food shopping. If organic is a must for you, check the label on any alternative too.

Brands to consider

AH Biologisch

Albert Heijn lists a 125 g bag of organic potato crisps with paprika flavour.

  • Albert Heijn’s product page shows the EU organic logo, control code NL-BIO-01 and a portion size of 25 g.
  • The same product information lists 1.2 g of salt and 28 g of fat per 100 g; decide for yourself how much to serve from the bag.

Go Pure

Go Pure Classic paprika crisps are potato crisps that Ekoplaza sells as organic.

  • Ekoplaza lists 1.0 g of salt per 100 g for this variety.
  • Ekoplaza also lists 32.6 g of fat per 100 g, so don’t compare salt content alone.

Trafo

Among the Trafo varieties reviewed, you can compare paprika potato crisps with paprika hummus crisps.

  • Ekoplaza lists 1.2 g of salt per 100 g for the potato crisps and 25 g of fat per 100 g for the hummus crisps.
  • For the hummus crisps, Ekoplaza lists 2.5 g of salt per 100 g, compared with 34 g of fat per 100 g for the potato crisps. So check both nutritional values and the base ingredient.

Jumbo Biologisch

Jumbo Organic Paprika Crisps 125 g comes with product information you can use to compare supermarket varieties.

  • Jumbo lists control code NL-BIO-01 and 1.5 g of salt per 100 g.
  • Jumbo’s product page says this variety is no longer part of its online range.

Frequently asked questions

How can I recognise certified organic paprika crisps?

Check the EU organic logo and control code on the packaging. Skal Biocontrole says the EU organic logo is mandatory on pre-packed food produced in the EU and sold as organic. For example, Albert Heijn displays the EU organic logo and NL-BIO-01 for AH Biologisch paprika crisps.

Do organic paprika crisps also tell me anything about salt and fat?

No, the organic label doesn’t tell you how much salt or fat the crisps contain. Albert Heijn and Ekoplaza list different values for the varieties discussed here. So compare the nutrition tables per 100 g and consider the portion you plan to eat.

How should I choose a portion for a quick coffee break?

Use the portion information on the packaging as a guide, then serve yourself the amount you want to eat. Albert Heijn lists a 25 g portion for AH Biologisch paprika crisps in a 125 g bag, but that doesn’t mean you’ll automatically take exactly that amount from the bag.

What should I look for when comparing potato crisps and hummus crisps?

Compare the base ingredient and the nutritional values per 100 g, not just a claim about fat. Ekoplaza lists 25 g of fat and 2.5 g of salt per 100 g for Trafo Hummus paprika crisps; for Trafo potato paprika crisps, it lists 34 g of fat and 1.2 g of salt per 100 g. Also check the ingredients and allergen information on the packaging you buy.
