Share-bag shoppers
You’re putting crisps out for a small group and want to choose between standard paprika crisps and a ridged variety. Check the net weight and type of crisps, rather than judging by the size of the pack alone.
Who is this relevant to?
Label-conscious snackers
You want to check the ingredients, allergens or nutritional information before opening a pack. Read the information on the current packaging; Albert Heijn advises that product information may change.
What should you look for when choosing?
Before your patio get-together, decide which type of crisps you want to serve and how much you’ll need. Then check the packaging if ingredients or nutritional information will affect your choice.

|---|---|---|
| Pack size and type of crisps | Check the net weight and choose between standard crisps and ridged crisps. | When I’m sharing crisps, I want to put out a pack with the right amount and type for the occasion. For around 67% of consumers, this choice is the most important factor. |
| Label information | Check the ingredients, allergens and nutritional information for your chosen variety on the packaging. | If I have an allergy or specific dietary requirement, I want to be able to check the right pack before eating. Checking the label is the priority for around 33% of consumers. |
Pitfalls to avoid when choosing
-
Assuming information about one variety applies to the whole brand
Lay's Paprika and Lay's Oven Baked Roasted Paprika are different varieties. A description or claim for one pack doesn’t automatically apply to the other.
Check the product name and nutrition table for the exact variety you want to buy.
-
Relying on an old online label for a new pack
Albert Heijn advises that ingredient, nutritional and allergen information may change. If you have an allergy, the information on the actual pack matters.
Check the ingredients and allergens on the pack when you buy it, and again before eating.

Frequently asked questions
Should I check the label on paprika crisps if I have an allergy?
Yes. Check the allergens on the packaging of the pack you plan to eat. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains how allergens are listed on food labels, so don’t rely solely on an earlier online product description.
Is a bigger pack always more convenient for drinks on the patio?
Not necessarily. Choose the net weight based on how many crisps you want to put out and how many people you’re sharing them with. For example, Jumbo lists standard Paprika Chips at 250 g and Ribbelchips Paprika at 335 g; you’re also choosing between two types of crisps.
How should I store an opened pack of paprika crisps?
Seal the pack well and store the crisps somewhere cool and dry, away from heat, moisture and direct sunlight. This is in line with the storage advice in the Joybuy product information for Croky Paprika Chips 200 g; follow the instructions on your own pack.
