Choose Lay's Oven Baked Roasted Paprika if reducing fat is your main priority: according to Lay's, this variety contains 50% less fat than regular potato crisps. If you're mainly looking for a sharing bag, compare the pack sizes of regular paprika crisps too. The fat claim doesn't tell you how much energy, salt or saturated fat is in your portion; you'll need to check the nutritional information for the bag you choose.
You want to take paprika crisps with you and are looking for a variety with a fat claim that applies to that specific product. Also compare the nutritional information per 100 g and per portion: a relative fat claim on its own doesn't tell you the full nutritional value.
You may not have a convenient place to store an opened bag at the campsite. Choosing a pack size that suits the number of people eating, and keeping the crisps somewhere dry in a securely closed bag, will help them stay crisp.
You need enough paprika crisps for several people. Compare the amount in each bag with the number of people eating, so you don't open more than the group is likely to finish.
First decide whether the fat claim or the convenience of sharing matters more to you. Then check the nutritional information and choose a bag size that suits your camping trip.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who should consider this? |
|---|---|---|
| Fat content | Check the claim for the exact paprika variety, and compare fat, saturated fat, energy and salt per 100 g and per portion. | I want to take paprika crisps with me, but reducing fat is my main priority. For around 50% of consumers, reducing fat comes first. |
| Storing after opening | Choose a bag size that suits the number of snacking occasions, and check how the bag should be stored once opened. | If I'm camping for several days, I want to avoid an opened bag going stale or being left unfinished. Around 30% of consumers prioritise this practical consideration. |
| Amount to share | Compare the weight of the bags and think about how many people will be eating. | I'm taking crisps for a group and want a bag we can finish together. That's the main consideration for around 20% of consumers. |
