| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Clearly stated lower fat | Check what the fat claim is compared with.

For around 50% of consumers, a clear comparison of fat content comes first. |
| Easy to share on the go | Check the net weight and choose between individual bags and a larger bag that you can portion out yourself. | When there are several people in the car, I want to decide in advance who takes which bag. Around 30% of consumers give easy portioning the highest priority. |
| Enough to share | Check the bag size and, if you choose a larger pack, still check the nutritional information per 100 g. | For a trip with several passengers, I mainly want to take one bag with enough to go round. That’s the most important requirement for around 20% of consumers. |

Compare the nutritional information per 100 g. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends comparing products in the same quantity.
A 40 g or 50 g pack is a smaller amount of crisps, not a different nutritional composition per 100 g.

A name such as ‘light’ or ‘oven baked’ tells you nothing about whether a product contains allergens. Information on packaging can also change.
