Which pack is right for you?

Snackers comparing fat per portion

If you want to measure out your own portion, you can use the nutrition information per 30 g. Jumbo lists 3.9 g of fat per 30 g for Lay's Oven Baked Paprika; the 150 g bag isn’t individually portioned.

Travellers who want to take a sealed bag

For a pre-portioned snack, the weight of each bag matters. The Lay's Paprika 20-pack contains 40 g bags; the Jumbo sharing pack contains 25 g bags, but not every bag is paprika flavour.

Shoppers checking for milk or soya

Check the current ingredients and allergen information on the packaging. The variants described here contain milk in Lay's Oven Baked and the Jumbo sharing pack, while Proper Paprika Lentil Chips may contain soya.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, decide whether fat per planned portion or a pre-filled bag matters more to you. If you’re choosing a multipack, check that the mix of flavours suits your preferences.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Fat per snack portion Compare fat per 100 g and per the amount you plan to take with you; Jumbo lists 3.9 g of fat per 30 g for Lay's Oven Baked Paprika. If I can portion out my crisps myself, I mainly want to know how much fat is in the amount I plan to eat. For around 46% of consumers, fat per snack portion is the top priority.
Sealed individual bag Check the weight of each bag; according to Albert Heijn, the Lay's Paprika 20-pack contains individual 40 g bags. I want to be able to take one sealed bag with me without weighing out crisps at home. A ready-to-go portion is the main concern for around 36% of consumers.
Paprika flavour in a multipack Check the flavour mix: the Jumbo sharing pack contains seven bags of paprika crisps and eight bags of plain crisps. If I buy a stock of individual bags, I want to know whether each one has the flavour I’m looking for. For around 18% of consumers, the flavour mix is the deciding factor.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a small bag means less fat

    A 40 g bag of Lay's Paprika is one portion. Based on the stated 29 g of fat per 100 g, that bag contains 11.6 g of fat.

    Use the bag weight to compare portions, but check the fat per bag separately.

  • Going by ‘oven-baked’ or ‘lentil’ alone

    Nutrition values vary by product: Jumbo lists 13 g of fat per 100 g for Lay's Oven Baked Paprika, while Albert Heijn lists 19 g of fat and 2.71 g of salt per 100 g for Proper Paprika Lentil Chips.

    Compare the nutrition information on the same basis, then consider how much you actually plan to eat.

  • Assuming every sharing bag contains paprika crisps

    The Jumbo sharing pack contains fifteen bags: seven paprika and eight plain.

    Check the flavour mix if you only want to take paprika crisps with you.

  • Guessing allergens from the flavour name

    The products described have different allergen information: Lay's Oven Baked and the Jumbo sharing pack list milk, while Proper Paprika Lentil Chips may contain soya.

    Check the current ingredients and allergen information on the packaging every time you buy.

Frequently asked questions

Does ‘50% less fat’ mean Oven Baked Paprika is low in fat?

No. On its own, that comparative claim doesn’t mean the product is low in fat. Albert Heijn compares Lay's Oven Baked with regular potato crisps; for the absolute amount, Jumbo lists 13 g of fat per 100 g and 3.9 g per 30 g.

Which bag can I take with me without weighing out a portion?

The Lay's Paprika 20-pack contains individual 40 g bags, each of which is listed as one portion in the product information. Jumbo has 25 g sharing bags, but the pack contains both paprika and plain flavours. If it matters to you, compare the fat per bag too.

Should I check for allergens in paprika-flavoured crisps?

Yes. A paprika flavour doesn’t tell you which allergens the product contains or may contain. The Oven Baked variant and Jumbo sharing pack described here list milk, while Proper Paprika Lentil Chips may contain soya. Check the current packaging.

Do I need to portion out a 150 g bag of Oven Baked Paprika myself?

Yes. The 150 g bag doesn’t contain individual snack bags. If you want to take a 30 g portion with you, portion it out in advance; the stated 3.9 g of fat applies to that amount.
