For around 29% of consumers, portion control comes first. |
| Unsalted variety | Check the variety name, ingredients and salt content on the packaging; don’t assume that the other nutritional values will therefore be the same. | If I’m looking for a product with no added salt, I want the variety to be clearly suitable. Choosing unsalted is the top priority for around 21% of consumers. |
