If protein is your top priority, look for protein crisps rather than just oven-baked paprika crisps: Albert Heijn lists 28 g of protein and 9.3 g of fat per 100 g for AH Proteïne crisps paprika. If your main aim is to cut the fat in classic potato crisps, the oven-baked options we looked at are another choice, although their listed protein content is lower. Compare salt, allergens and the amount you’ll actually eat, too.
If protein is the main reason you’re considering a different paprika snack, compare the nutritional values per 100 g and per bag. The word ‘protein’ on the front doesn’t tell you how much you’ll get in a serving.
Want to keep eating paprika crisps but compare their fat content? Put regular and oven-baked potato crisps side by side, and check the salt content and serving size, too.
The paprika snacks we looked at differ in their ingredients and allergen information. Always read the latest packaging, even if a product is labelled vegan or gluten-free.
First decide whether you’re mainly looking for more protein or less fat. Then compare the nutritional information on the same basis and check that the ingredients and allergen information meet your needs.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Protein | Compare protein per 100 g and work out how much that means for the portion you plan to eat. Albert Heijn lists 28 g of protein per 100 g for AH Proteïne crisps paprika. | If I’m choosing a different paprika snack specifically for extra protein, I want to know how much protein is in my portion. Around 42% of consumers put this need first. |
| Fat | Compare fat per 100 g and the amount you eat. Albert Heijn lists 29 g per 100 g for Lay's Paprika, compared with 13 g for Lay's Oven Baked Roasted Paprika. | I want to keep the paprika flavour, but fat content is my main consideration. This is the top priority for around 33% of consumers. |
| Other suitability factors | Read the latest ingredients and allergen information, and compare salt per 100 g if it’s relevant to your choice. | Even if the protein and fat content suit me, I need to be able to check whether the ingredients, allergens and flavour are right for me.

A lower fat content doesn’t mean a product is high in protein. Albert Heijn lists 5.1 g and 6.1 g of protein per 100 g for the Lay's and Chio oven-baked crisps we looked at, respectively, compared with 28 g for AH Proteïne crisps paprika.
Is protein your main reason for switching? Compare protein per 100 g first, then check fat, salt and your portion size.
A product with less fat may still have a salt content that matters to your choice. Albert Heijn lists 1.6 g of salt per 100 g for Chio Oven chips paprika and 2.5 g for Body & Fit Smart Protein Chips Paprika Flavour.
Compare fat, protein, salt and energy per 100 g each time, so you’re comparing like with like.
The products we looked at differ in their ingredients and warnings about the possible presence of allergens. A label such as ‘vegan’ doesn’t replace this information.
Read the allergen information on the packaging of the product you’re actually going to eat.
A nutritional profile may suit your needs even if a particular shop doesn’t stock the product. Availability information, in turn, tells you nothing about its nutritional value.
Check the latest product information before buying, then compare it with the packaging when your order arrives.
