Which pack works best for you?

Groups handing out individual bags

Individually sealed bags are handy when everyone needs to be able to take their own portion. Albert Heijn describes a Lay's Paprika 20-pack with 20 bags of 40 g. If you choose a mixed-flavour pack, first check how many bags contain paprika crisps.

Groups sharing from one bag

If you don't need individual portions, you can take a standard bag of paprika crisps. Before you set off, think about how you'll share them and reseal the bag once it's been opened.

Shoppers who check labels carefully

If you have an allergy or dietary requirement, the ingredients and allergen information on the exact pack are what matter. Don't rely on the label for another flavour, bag size or multipack.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, decide whether you need sealed portions and whether every bag has to contain paprika crisps. Then check the amount you'll actually use and the label on the pack you plan to take.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it's important for
Individual portions Count the sealed bags and check the weight of each one. If I want to hand them out at the campsite without opening a bag, I'll need an individual bag for everyone. Around 33% of consumers prioritise sealed portions.
Amount of paprika crisps you'll actually use For a mixed-flavour pack, check how many bags contain paprika crisps; for large bags, compare the total weight with what your group needs. If my group mainly wants paprika crisps, not every bag in a mixed-flavour pack will count. For around 42% of consumers, the amount of paprika crisps they'll actually use is the main priority.
Ingredients and allergens Read the ingredients list and allergen information on the exact pack. If I have an allergy or dietary requirement, I want to know which variant I'm taking before I set off. Around 25% of consumers prioritise checking the label.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a mixed sharing pack is all paprika

    Jumbo describes a sharing pack with 7 bags of paprika crisps and 8 bags of ready salted crisps. The Lay's Party Mix described by Jumbo contains 5 bags of paprika crisps out of 15 in total.

    If everyone wants that flavour, only count the bags of paprika crisps when you're planning.

  • Relying on the label for a different variant

    A standard bag and a multipack may list different ingredients or allergens. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says allergens in prepacked foods are listed in the ingredients list.

    If you have an allergy or dietary requirement, read the label on the exact pack, even if you're already familiar with the brand.

  • Leaving a large bag open

    A shared bag will stay open after you've handed out the crisps unless you have something to seal it with. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends storing crisps in a cool, dry, dark place and keeping them well sealed.

    Take a sealing clip or storage container for a large bag, or choose sealed bags if resealing would be impractical.

Frequently asked questions

Does every sharing pack of paprika crisps contain only paprika?

No. Albert Heijn describes the Lay's Paprika 20-pack as containing 20 bags of paprika crisps, while the sharing pack described by Jumbo contains 7 bags of paprika crisps and 8 bags of ready salted crisps. Check the flavour breakdown of the pack you want to take.

How should I store an opened bag of crisps at a festival campsite?

Seal the bag well after use and store it somewhere cool, dry and dark. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends keeping opened crisps in a kitchen cupboard for 2 to 5 days; also follow the storage advice on the pack.

Should I check the label on every pack if I have an allergy?

Yes, check the exact pack you're taking. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains that allergens in prepacked foods are listed in the ingredients list. Information for a standard bag doesn't automatically apply to a multipack or another flavour.
