If you’re looking for paprika crisps with a protein claim while shopping, check both the claim and the nutritional information on the exact pack. Jumbo lists We Care Paprika Flavour Chips 25 g as ‘High protein’; to find out how much protein a bag adds to your diet, check the values per serving. According to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, most people who do sport don’t need special protein products if they eat a varied diet.
You want to choose a savoury paprika snack while shopping and find out how much protein a serving actually contains. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre points out that most people who do sport don’t need special protein products if they eat a varied diet.
You mainly compare paprika crisps by their fat content. Lay's claims that Oven Baked Roasted Paprika contains less fat than regular potato crisps; this is a different feature from protein content.
You choose mainly by flavour or packaging and don’t want to assume regular paprika crisps are a high-protein snack without checking the label.
First decide whether you’re looking for a protein claim, want to compare fat and energy, or simply want regular paprika crisps. Then check the nutritional information and ingredients for the exact variant you’re buying.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Protein content | Read the protein claim and compare the grams of protein per serving and per 100 g on the current packaging. | I’m looking for a savoury snack after sport and want to know how much protein one serving adds. For around 50% of consumers, being able to check the protein content is the top priority. |
| Fat and energy | Compare fat and energy for the same quantities; also check what a claim about less fat refers to. | If I mainly want to keep an eye on fat and energy, I won’t choose based on a protein claim alone. Around 30% of consumers give this consideration the highest priority. |
| Flavour and label | Check the exact flavour and packaging; if you have an allergy, read the ingredients and allergen information. | What matters most to me is finding a paprika flavour I want to buy, with label information that suits my needs. This is the most important factor for around 20% of consumers. |
According to Lay's, Oven Baked Roasted Paprika contains 50% less fat than regular potato crisps. This comparison doesn’t tell you how much protein the variant contains.
Decide which feature matters most to you. To compare protein, check the values per serving and per 100 g.
A claim on a snack doesn’t tell you how the serving fits into your overall diet. According to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, most people who do sport don’t need special protein products if they eat a varied diet.
Consider the snack as part of your usual diet, not as a replacement for it.
Albert Heijn says that ingredients, nutritional values and allergen information may change when a product is updated.
Read the packaging for the exact flavour and variant you’re buying, especially if allergens are important to your choice.
According to the Dutch Government, Nutri-Score can help you compare products of the same type. On its own, the score doesn’t tell you how much protein is in one serving of paprika crisps.
Compare similar crisps and also check the protein, fat, energy and salt values, as well as the ingredients list.

No, most people who do sport don’t need a special protein product. According to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, they generally get enough protein from a varied diet, so consider a snack as part of your overall diet.
Check the claim on the exact packaging, then compare the grams of protein per serving and per 100 g. Also check the serving size and the energy, fat and salt values, so the claim doesn’t take the place of the nutritional information.
No, a lower fat content doesn’t in itself tell you anything about the protein content. Lay's claims that Oven Baked Roasted Paprika contains 50% less fat than regular potato crisps; check the protein value separately on the label.
Read the allergen information on the current packaging for the exact variant, including any warnings about cross-contamination. Check the ingredients list too; according to Albert Heijn, product information may change when a product is updated.
No, don’t use Nutri-Score as a substitute for nutritional information. According to the Dutch Government, the score is intended for comparing products of the same type; also check the label if protein, salt, energy or ingredients matter to your choice.
