Frequently asked questions
How can you identify organic tortilla chips?
For pre-packed organic food produced in the EU and sold there as organic, the EU organic logo is compulsory. Also check the inspection body’s code and the agricultural origin; different conditions apply to the use of the logo on imported products.
How do you calculate the protein contribution of your portion?
Multiply the protein value per 100 grams by the weight of your portion, then divide by 100. For 25 grams of AH Biologisch Tortilla chips naturel, that’s 6.7 × 25 / 100 = 1.675 grams, or around 1.7 grams of protein when rounded.
Can you have organic tortilla chips with a protein-focused breakfast?
Yes, you can have a measured portion as a crunchy addition, but assess the protein contribution of your whole breakfast. The AH serving reviewed here provides around 1.7 grams of protein; the European Commission lists eggs, dairy and pulses as examples of other protein sources.
How long can you keep opened crisps?
For opened crisps, Voedingscentrum’s general advice is to keep them in a kitchen cupboard for 2–5 days. Store them in a cool, dry, dark place in a tightly sealed pack, and follow the storage advice on the packaging too.
Does an organic label automatically mean a product meets a protein claim?
No, organic certification and a nutrition claim are separate matters. According to the NVWA, European rules apply to nutrition and health claims, so check the nutritional information and don’t treat an organic logo as proof of a protein claim.
