If you want snacks for several moments on the go, choose individually wrapped portions so you don't have to carry around a large opened bag. If every bag needs to contain paprika crisps, check the full flavour selection: a multipack may also include plain or other flavours. If you have an allergy or dietary requirement, always check the packaging for the exact variant.
Individually sealed bags are handy if you're buying snacks for several occasions and don't want to divide a large bag yourself. Listings from Albert Heijn, Jumbo and ALDI show packs with 25 g or 40 g bags.
Check whether every bag has the same flavour. As well as a Lay's Paprika 20-pack, Jumbo and ALDI list multipacks that combine paprika with other flavours.
Check the exact variant, not just the flavour name. Jumbo lists soya in Lay's Wokkels Paprika, and milk and sulphites in Smiths Sticks Paprika.
First, decide whether you need several sealed portions. Then check that every bag has the flavour you want, and look at any product information that matters to you.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Individual portions | Check the number of bags and the weight of each one; the total weight alone doesn't tell you how large each portion is. | If I'm out and about, I want to be able to take a sealed bag without dividing up the crisps first. For around 50% of consumers, individual portions are the top priority. |
| Flavour in each bag | Read the full flavour description and check whether all the bags are paprika flavour. | If I only want paprika crisps, I don't want to be left with plain bags from a mix. Around 30% of consumers prioritise having paprika in every bag. |
| Product information | Check the latest ingredients, highlighted allergens and nutritional information for the exact variant, including per 100 g and per portion if needed. | If I have an allergy or dietary requirement, I need to be able to check what's in this exact variant. For around 20% of consumers, this information is the top priority. |
A multipack may contain plain crisps or other snacks as well as paprika ones. That means not every individual bag will have the flavour you're looking for.
If every bag must be paprika flavour, choose a pack that explicitly says all the bags contain paprika crisps.
Albert Heijn and Jumbo list a Lay's Paprika 20-pack of 20 × 40 g; Jumbo and ALDI also list mixed multipacks of 15 × 25 g. For a single snack occasion, the weight of each bag is what matters most.
Compare both the number of bags and the weight of each one.
According to Jumbo's product information, Lay's Wokkels Paprika lists soya, while Smiths Sticks Paprika lists milk and sulphites.
Before eating, check the latest ingredients list and allergen information on the packaging of the variant you're buying.
Albert Heijn marks its specific AH Chips paprika 20-pack of 20 × 40 g as discontinued. So a suitable pack size doesn't necessarily mean that particular product is available.
Check the current product listing before relying on a particular multipack.

For anyone who wants to take several individually packed portions with paprika flavour.
This variant contains 12 tubes of 40 g. If you have an allergy, check the latest packaging; the product description lists wheat and milk, and also identifies soya as a possible allergen.

For anyone who wants to share or take individual bags with them, and is happy to have flavours other than paprika.
The mix described includes paprika, plain and bolognese flavours; don't assume that every bag contains paprika crisps. If portion size matters, check the weight of each bag, and if you have an allergy, read the latest soya information on the packaging.
Check whether the pack contains individually sealed bags, and look at the weight of each one. For example, Albert Heijn and Jumbo list a Lay's Paprika 20-pack of 20 × 40 g, while the mixed multipacks listed by Jumbo and ALDI contain 15 bags of 25 g.
No, not always. Jumbo lists a mix of paprika and plain flavours, while ALDI describes both a Sun Snacks mix of plain and paprika flavours and a Lay's multipack with paprika, plain and Bugles. If every bag needs to be paprika, check the contents of the exact pack.
No. Check the allergen information on the latest packaging for the exact variant. For example, Jumbo lists soya in Lay's Wokkels Paprika, and milk and sulphites in Smiths Sticks Paprika; the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains how allergens are listed in the ingredients list.
Look for the nutritional values per portion and check how many grams are in each bag. Jumbo lists 203 kcal per 40 g bag for Lay's Paprika and 138 kcal per 30 g bag for Lay's Wokkels Paprika; these are different products and portion sizes.
