Shopping for snacks online for a drinks party, lunchbox, film night or on the go? You’ll quickly come across terms like “baked”, “plant-based”, “organic” or “high in protein”. These words don’t always tell you enough about the ingredients, portion size or practical shelf life.
What’s more, the packaging can give a misleading impression. A small bag might look like good value, but sometimes contains less than you’d expect. And a snack with a vegetable or legume name can still be relatively high in fat, salt or carbohydrates. With the following checks, you can compare savoury snacks, crisps, potato snacks and alternatives in a level-headed way.
Baked crisps are often promoted as not being fried. That describes the cooking method, but it doesn’t automatically make a product suitable for every dietary choice. Always look at the nutritional values per 100 grams and per pack.
For example, the Yan Jin Pu Zi O-Potao Baked Potato Crisps Tomato Flavour Snack lists 24 grams of fat and 502 kcal per 100 grams. The 62-gram pack does help keep the portion manageable. With the Original Flavour, it’s 32 grams of fat and 538 kcal per 100 grams. So the difference between variants can be significant, even within the same product range.
A bag of 25, 27 or 42 grams is handy for on the go, but always compare the price per 100 grams. For a party or drinks gathering, larger packs are often more practical. Do bear in mind that a big bag isn’t automatically a better choice: once opened, crunchy products can lose their texture more quickly.
A product name doesn’t tell you everything. Check:
According to the product information, the Okra Chips consist of 98% okra and 2% rice bran oil, and are listed as gluten-free. The Be&Cheery snack is described as plant-based, but does contain wheat gluten and soya. So “plant-based” doesn’t automatically mean gluten-free.
The value per 100 grams makes different packs comparable. The portion value shows what you’re actually eating. Pay particular attention to salt, fat, saturated fat, sugars and fibre. For snacks on the go, an individual size is practical, while for a drinks party you’ll also want to look at the number of portions per pack.
Examples from the range:
These figures aren’t a quality ranking. They simply help you choose a product that matches your own preferences.
Ingredients are listed in descending order of quantity. If potato, lentil flour, maize or wheat comes first, that usually forms the base of the snack. Always check the actual packaging too, because product compositions can change.
For example:
If you have an allergy or intolerance, don’t rely solely on the website text – also check the label on the pack you receive.
Make a distinction between shelf-stable Asian snacks, dry crisps, chilled products and frozen products. Frikandellen, chips and potato products such as rösti and croquettes generally need to stay frozen until cooking. With frozen products, pay attention to the temperature on the packaging and do not refreeze thawed products.
For chips, the cooking method is also important. The Aviko Supercrunch Originals are suitable for a deep fryer or air fryer. Aviko Friet Van ’t Huis Oma’s Smulfriet can be cooked in a deep fryer, oven or air fryer, according to the product information. Always follow the instructions on the pack for time and temperature.

We’ve put together a full, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and comply with current European safety regulations.
Small, resealable or individually wrapped products are practical. Think of baked potato crisps at 62 grams, Haitai Baked Potato Stick at 27 grams, Oishi Bread Pan Buttered Toasted at 42 grams or Leev lentil waffles. Check beforehand whether a product can be stored dry and whether the pack seals well after opening.
No. “Baked” refers to the cooking method. You also need to compare the nutritional values, ingredients list, portion size and amount of salt. According to the product information, the Yan Jin Pu Zi variants contain different amounts of fat per 100 grams, so comparing remains worthwhile.
Keep frozen products such as chips, rösti, croquettes and frikandellen frozen according to the temperature on the packaging. Only defrost what you need and follow the cooking instructions. Store dry crisps and other shelf-stable snacks in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. After opening, a well-sealed pack helps keep the crunchy texture for longer.
