If you want to pick up an organic paprika snack for the journey while doing your food shop, first check for the EU organic logo. Then choose between potato crisps and a pulse-based snack. Compare the nutritional information per 100 g and per portion: organic certification tells you nothing about these values, and several stated portions do not mean that the pack contains individual bags.
You want to pick up a paprika snack while doing your food shop and be able to recognise the organic label on the pack. According to Skal Biocontrole, the EU organic logo is compulsory on pre-packed organic consumer products in the EU.
You want to know how much you’re taking with you and are likely to eat. Albert Heijn lists five 25 g portions in one 125 g bag of AH Biologisch Chips paprika; these are not five individual bags.
As well as checking the organic label, you look at what the snack is made from, dietary claims and allergen information. Check these details on the current packaging for the exact variant; potato crisps and pulse-based snacks are not the same product.
Start with the organic label if that’s your deciding factor. Then work out whether you’re mainly looking for an individual portion to take with you, a particular type of snack or specific nutritional information.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Organic label | Look for the EU organic logo and check the organic label on the packaging. | If I shop organic by choice, I want to be able to recognise the label on the snack itself. For around 40% of consumers, this check comes first. |
| Pack and portion | Compare the net weight with the stated portion size; check whether individual bags are explicitly mentioned. | When I’m out and about, I want to know whether I’m taking one bag or individual portion packs, so the packaging suits the occasion. For around 30% of consumers, portion size is the biggest consideration. |
| Nutritional information | Compare energy, fat and salt per 100 g, then check the values for the portion you plan to eat. | When I’m choosing between potato crisps and another paprika snack, I want to compare the nutritional values on a like-for-like basis. Around 20% of consumers give this comparison top priority. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients list and allergen information for the exact variant. | If ingredients or dietary requirements determine my choice, I can’t rely on the name of a similar product. For around 10% of consumers, this product information is the most important consideration. |
Organic certification relates to how a product is made, not how much energy or salt it contains. Albert Heijn lists 1,2 g of salt per 100 g for AH Biologisch Chips paprika; Ekoplaza lists 2,5 g per 100 g for Trafo Hummus chips paprika.
Read the nutritional information per 100 g, then check the values separately for the amount you plan to eat.
The five 25 g portions listed by Albert Heijn for a 125 g bag of AH Biologisch Chips paprika describe the portion size. They don’t mean that the bag contains five individual packs.
If you need them for when you’re out and about, look specifically for a multipack or individual portion bags on the packaging.
