If you have coeliac disease, choose paprika crisps whose current packaging says ‘gluten-free’ or displays the Crossed Grain symbol. According to the Dutch Coeliac Society, gluten may be present in the seasoning used on paprika crisps, so a potato base alone isn’t enough to guide your choice. Both classic paprika-flavoured potato crisps with a clear gluten-free label and crisps specifically marketed as gluten-free may be suitable, provided you check the packaging and any allergen information that’s relevant to you.
You’re looking for a clear gluten-free label on the current packet and checking the ingredients in the paprika seasoning. The Dutch Coeliac Society warns that paprika crisps may contain gluten; the Netherlands Nutrition Centre lists ‘gluten-free’ and the Crossed Grain symbol as things to look for on the packaging.
You want to choose clearly labelled paprika crisps in a quantity that suits how you’ll use them. Albert Heijn’s product information lists AH Chips paprika in a 250 g bag and Schär Curvies paprika in a 170 g bag; the current packaging remains the definitive source for labelling.
As well as classic potato crisps, you’re considering shaped crisps with paprika flavour. Albert Heijn describes Schär Curvies paprika as gluten-free crisps made especially for people with gluten intolerance. Check the other ingredients and allergen information too, if they’re relevant to your choice.
Start by checking for a gluten-free label on the packet you’re buying. Only then compare the quantity, type of crisp and other ingredients: none of these features replaces checking the label if you have coeliac disease.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this relevant to? |
|---|---|---|
| Gluten-free labelling | Look for ‘gluten-free’ or the Crossed Grain symbol on the current packaging, and read the ingredients list, including the seasoning. | If I’m buying paprika crisps for someone with coeliac disease, I don’t want to rely on ‘potato’ or ‘paprika’ alone; a clear gluten-free label is the top priority for around 50% of consumers. |
| Pack size | Compare the net weight of clearly labelled gluten-free products with the quantity you want to use. | For regular snacking, I want to choose a bag that suits how much we eat; around 30% of consumers focus first on pack size. |
| Type of crisp and other ingredients | Consider whether you want classic or shaped crisps, and check for any warnings about other allergens. | If I prefer shaped crisps or also need to watch out for other allergens, I want to be able to check this information on the packet; this distinction matters most to around 20% of consumers. |
