When choosing paprika crisps for a morning snack, start by checking the ingredients you want to avoid. Albert Heijn lists AH Chips paprika as gluten-free, lactose-free and vegan; Proper Paprika lentil chips are listed as gluten-free and vegan, but may contain soya. If you’re mainly comparing fat content, Lay's Oven Baked Roasted Paprika is another option: Lay's claims this variety has 50% less fat than regular potato crisps, but does not claim that it is free from specific allergens. Check the label on the bag you buy every time.
For example, you may need to avoid gluten, milk or soya. A general dietary claim isn’t enough in this case: check the ingredients, listed allergens and any cross-contamination warnings for the variety you’ve chosen.
You want your paprika crisps to suit the way you eat. Check which claim is actually shown on the packaging; vegan and lactose-free don’t mean the same thing.

Before choosing paprika crisps for a morning snack, first decide whether a specific allergen or dietary preference limits your options. Then compare the nutritional values and portions of products that meet your requirements.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Specific allergen | Read the ingredients, listed allergens and any cross-contamination warnings on the current packaging. | If I need to avoid soya or another specific allergen, I don’t want to rely on a vegan or gluten-free label alone. For around 42% of consumers, checking for a specific allergen comes first. |
| Gluten-free, lactose-free or vegan | Look for the claim that suits your diet and check that it applies to this exact variety. | I’m looking for paprika crisps that fit the way I eat, without a specific allergy being my main consideration. For around 33% of consumers, dietary compatibility matters most. |
| Fat, salt and portion size | Compare fat and salt per 100 g, and consider the portion you plan to have. | For my snack, I mainly want to weigh up how much I’m having and what the nutritional information says. Around 25% of consumers prioritise this comparison. |

Decide which ingredient or allergen matters to you, then check the ingredients and any relevant warnings on the packaging.
A product’s ingredients can change, so information you read online previously may not match the bag you buy.
