When choosing paprika crisps for camping, start with the ingredient someone needs to avoid: check the ingredients, allergens and any warnings on the current packet. A gluten-free, lactose-free or vegan label doesn’t automatically rule out other ingredients, so check the pack size and storage advice too.
If milk, soya or another ingredient is an absolute no-go for you, check the ingredients and allergen information on the packet you’re buying. The flavour name or brand alone won’t tell you whether it’s suitable.
A label such as gluten-free, lactose-free or vegan can help you choose. Also check that the other ingredients and warnings meet your needs.
If not everyone can eat the same ingredients, check the labels for the whole group before choosing a sharing bag. Also check the date and storage advice for your journey.
If you’re choosing paprika crisps for camping and have a dietary or suitability concern, check what needs to be avoided before choosing a sharing bag. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says allergens must be clearly shown on the label.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who should consider this? |
|---|---|---|
| A particular allergen | Look for the ingredient in the ingredients list and allergen information. Also read any warning that the product may contain it. | If I need to avoid a particular allergen, I only want to choose a packet whose current label suits my needs. For around 50% of these consumers, that specific allergen comes first. |
| Gluten-free, lactose-free or vegan | Check that the variant carries the claim you’re looking for, then check the other ingredients and allergens. | I first look for a packet with a claim that suits my dietary needs, without overlooking any other ingredients I need to avoid. For around 30% of these consumers, this kind of claim is the first selection criterion. |
| Sharing and storage | Compare the pack size with the number of people eating, and check the date and storage advice on the packet. | For a group, I want to bring crisps everyone can eat and store as directed on the label while travelling. Sharing and storage matter most to around 20% of these consumers. |

Before you set off, check the physical packaging again, including any warnings and the date.
