If everyone needs their own bag of paprika crisps, choose a multipack where every bag is paprika flavour. According to Albert Heijn, the Lay's Paprika 20-pack contains twenty 40 g bags. A mixed sharing bag works if other flavours are welcome too; with a large bag, you’ll need to portion out the crisps yourself for the lunch bags. Always check the latest packaging for allergy information and portion details.
Pre-packed bags make it easy to add an individual portion to each lunch bag. If everyone expects paprika crisps, check whether a sharing bag contains only paprika: Jumbo says its mixed sharing bag contains seven bags of paprika crisps out of fifteen.
With a large bag, you’ll need to weigh up how many crisps it contains against the work involved in portioning them yourself. A multipack comes with individual portions ready to go, but check how many bags are included and how many grams are in each one.
If someone has an allergy or specific dietary requirements, the ingredients and allergen information on the current packaging matter more than the flavour name alone. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority requires allergens to be clearly shown on the labels of pre-packed foods.
First decide whether the crisps will be packed individually or shared at the office. Then check the flavour selection, portion size and label on the pack you’re planning to buy.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| An individual portion of paprika crisps | Count the individual bags and check that each one is paprika flavour. | If I want to add a portion of paprika crisps to everyone’s lunch bag, I don’t want to portion them out myself or accidentally hand out another flavour. Having an individual portion of paprika crisps is the top priority for around 36% of consumers. |
| Buying for a team | Compare the total contents and decide whether portioning them yourself fits into your preparations. | When I’m preparing several lunches at once, I weigh up the convenience of individual bags against the work involved in portioning a large bag. Around 29% of consumers give this consideration top priority. |
| Label and allergens | Read the latest ingredients and allergen information; compare nutritional values per 100 g and per portion. | If someone in the team has an allergy or dietary requirement, I want to know what the packaging says before handing the crisps out. This is the most important consideration for around 21% of consumers. |
| Sharing and taking with you | Check whether the pack is resealable and how many portions the label states. | If the crisps are being shared at the office, I care more about being able to reseal the pack after opening than having an individual bag for everyone. Around 14% of consumers prioritise sharing and storage. |
Jumbo says its sharing bag contains fifteen bags: seven paprika and eight salted. So the total number of bags doesn’t tell you how many lunch bags can include paprika crisps.
Count the paprika bags separately. If everyone needs the same flavour, choose a pack where all the individual bags are paprika flavour.
A sharing bag doesn’t automatically give you individual portions for colleagues taking lunch with them.
Before you buy, decide who will portion out the crisps and how the individual portions will be packed.
Portioning them yourself takes time to prepare and may require separate packaging.
Jumbo lists milk as an allergen in Jumbo Paprika Chips. The flavour name alone doesn’t tell you which ingredients or allergens apply to a different pack.
Before handing them out, check the latest label on the exact product you bought, especially if someone in the team has an allergy.
A comparison of fat content alone doesn’t tell you how much salt a snack contains or how big the portion someone actually eats is.
Read the nutritional information per 100 g and per portion, and only compare packs that clearly state the portion size.

Read the allergen information on the latest packaging for the specific product before handing it out. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority requires allergens to be clearly stated on the labels of pre-packed foods; for example, Jumbo lists milk in Jumbo Paprika Chips.
No. A statement about fat content doesn’t automatically tell you how much salt the snack contains or how much someone will eat. Compare the nutritional information per 100 g and per portion, and consider the size you’ll actually put in the lunch bag.
