Common mistakes
-
Assuming ‘oven-baked’ tells you everything about the nutrition
The fat content doesn’t tell you how much energy or salt a serving contains. Jumbo also lists milk as an allergen for Lay's Oven Baked Paprika.
Compare the nutrition information per 100 g and per serving, and read the allergen information on the bag you’ve chosen.
-
Relying on the flavour name to check for allergens
The paprika flavour doesn’t tell you exactly what all the ingredients are. According to Jumbo’s product information, both Jumbo Paprika Chips and Lay's Oven Baked Paprika contain milk.
Check the current ingredients list and allergen information on the packaging of the exact product.
-
Treating a large bag as one snack serving
The pack size and the serving listed in a nutrition table aren’t necessarily the same amount.
Check both amounts and decide how much you want to have before opening the bag.

Frequently asked questions
Are oven-baked paprika crisps automatically a better choice?
No, the cooking method alone doesn’t tell you enough about the nutritional value. Jumbo lists 13 g of fat per 100 g for Lay's Oven Baked Paprika; compare the energy and salt per 100 g too, as well as how much you’ll have.
How do I compare classic, ridged and oven-baked paprika crisps?
First compare the exact products on the same basis, such as per 100 g, then consider your serving. You can compare product styles to assess texture, but ridges alone don’t tell you anything about fat or salt.
Where can I find allergen information for paprika crisps?
Check the allergen information on the current packaging of the product you’ve chosen. According to Jumbo’s product information, Jumbo Paprika Chips 250 g and Lay's Oven Baked Paprika contain milk; this doesn’t apply to all paprika crisps.
How do I compare the ingredients in Lidl crisps?
Check the packaging of the exact product. Lidl Netherlands directs customers to the product packaging for ingredients, allergens and nutrition information for its food products.
How should I store an opened bag of paprika crisps?
Seal the bag well after use and store it in a cool, dry place. Jumbo advises storing the Lay's MAX, Lay's Oven Baked and Jumbo paprika crisps mentioned above in a ‘cool, dry place’.
