If you’re mainly looking to reduce your fat intake, compare oven-baked and labelled light paprika crisps with regular paprika crisps by checking the fat content per 100 g. Also look at energy, saturated fat, salt and the serving size shown on the pack: less fat doesn’t automatically mean these values differ to the same extent. If you prefer a particular flavour or bag size, regular paprika crisps are still an option.
You want to keep eating paprika crisps, but mainly compare options by their fat content per 100 g. A label such as oven-baked or light is a starting point; the nutritional information shows what applies to the product you’ve chosen.
You don’t want to look at fat in isolation from energy, saturated fat and salt. Compare the same quantity of paprika crisps, then decide what serving size you’d like.
You’re looking for paprika crisps for a regular shop and want to choose between a familiar option and an oven-baked alternative. The flavour and the amount in the bag are important too.
Oven-baked describes how the crisps are made, while light is a claim about their composition. So compare the nutritional information for the specific paprika crisps you’re considering, rather than relying only on the wording on the front of the bag.

A difference in fat content doesn’t automatically mean there’s an equally large difference in energy. The Voedingscentrum advises checking the other nutritional values on light crisps too.
Compare the energy, fat, saturated fat and salt per 100 g, then check the serving size on the pack.
