Campers buying for a group
If several people are sharing the same snack, compare the pack size and the number of servings shown on the bag. A larger bag is most practical if you can share it or seal it properly after opening.
Which pack size suits you?
Campers checking allergens
Read the packaging for the exact variety. According to Jumbo’s product information, Jumbo Paprika Chips contains milk, while soya is listed for Lay's Wokkels Paprika.
Campers who want to portion out their snacks
A small bag is easy to hand out individually. For a larger bag, check how many servings it contains and whether you can store any leftover crisps somewhere dry and sealed.
What should you look for when choosing?
First, decide how many people will be sharing the bag and whether you can keep any opened crisps dry. Then compare the ingredients and nutritional information for the varieties that suit your needs.

Common mistakes
-
Assuming all paprika crisps contain the same allergens
Jumbo lists milk for Jumbo Paprika Chips, soya for Lay's Wokkels Paprika, and milk and sulphites for Smiths Sticks Paprika. The flavour name alone won’t tell you what applies to the bag you’ve chosen.
Just before buying, check the allergen information for the exact flavour, pack and product variety.

Applying a claim about one variety to all crisps
In its own product claim, Lay's compares the fat content of Oven Baked Roasted Paprika with regular potato crisps. That comparison doesn’t automatically apply to other paprika crisps.
When you see a claim, check which variety and comparison it refers to, and look at the nutritional information per 100 g.
