Choose individual bags if you want to take one sealed portion per person on a walk without having to portion out the crisps beforehand. A larger bag works better for sharing or portioning out at home. Whichever you choose, check the label on the exact product for its nutritional information and allergens.
If you want to take a sealed bag with you without measuring out a portion, a multipack of individual bags is a practical choice. Albert Heijn lists Lay's Paprika 20-pack bags at 40 g each and describes each bag as one portion.
If you’re taking crisps for several people, you can share a larger bag or portion them out at home. Alongside a Lay's multipack, Jumbo also lists a 300 g bag of Lay's Paprika. These are different ways to take crisps with you.
If salt, fat or allergens matter to your choice, compare the exact products. Smiths Sticks Paprika contains milk and sulphites, according to Jumbo; Jumbo lists milk in Lay's Oven Baked Paprika.
First decide whether you need sealed portions for each person or a bag to share. Then compare the labels of the varieties you’re considering for your walk.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who is this important to? |
|---|---|---|
| Portions for the trail | Check whether the pack really contains individual bags and how many grams are in each one. Albert Heijn lists Lay's Paprika 20-pack bags at 40 g each. | I want to grab one sealed snack portion during a day walk without having to portion anything out at home. Around 39% of consumers put this convenience first. |
| Sharing or portioning it out yourself | Check the size of the bag and decide whether you want to make up individual portions before setting off. | For our walking group, I’d rather take one bag to share or make up portions at home. Around 23% of consumers prioritise sharing this way. |
| Salt and fat | Compare the nutritional information per 100 g and, if provided, per portion. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre gives 0.59 g of salt for a 40 g bowl of crisps in assorted flavours; this figure does not apply to every paprika variety. | When choosing between varieties, I want to know how much salt and fat are in the portion I’m taking with me. This comparison matters most to around 23% of consumers. |
| Allergens and labelling | Read the ingredients and allergen information on the exact pack. Jumbo lists milk and sulphites in Smiths Sticks Paprika, and milk in Lay's Oven Baked Paprika. | I need to check whether the variety I choose is suitable for my needs. Checking the label is the top priority for around 15% of consumers. |
A big bag doesn’t automatically give each walker one sealed portion. Once opened, you’ll need to share the crisps or reseal the pack.
