For a smaller accompaniment to supper, compare the whole-bag figures: Walkers UK lists its Oven Baked Sea Salt bag at 22g and 96 kcal, and its Lightly Salted bag at 25g with 0.17g salt. Seabrook Sea Salted comes in a 31.8g bag and Tyrrells Mature Cheddar & Chive in a 40g bag; if either size suits you better, check its per-bag nutrition and the exact flavour’s ingredients before choosing.
The useful serving size depends on whether the crisps are a small accompaniment, how much salt you want to compare, and whether the recipe meets a dietary requirement.
If you plan to eat the whole bag with supper, start with its weight and per-bag figures. Walkers UK lists 96 kcal for its 22g Oven Baked Sea Salt bag, while Tyrrells lists 202 kcal for a 40g Mature Cheddar & Chive bag.
Look at salt per bag for the portion you intend to eat, then at salt per 100g if you want to compare different recipes. Walkers UK lists 0.17g salt in a 25g Lightly Salted bag; the figure for another flavour or bag size may differ.
Check the exact flavour’s ingredients and allergen statement. Seabrook labels Sea Salted gluten-free and suitable for vegetarians and vegans, whereas Tyrrells lists milk ingredients in Mature Cheddar & Chive.
Choose a bag size that fits alongside your supper, then compare its salt figure and exact recipe. Per-100g figures help compare recipes, but the per-bag figures describe what you would eat if you finish the pack.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Whole-bag portion | Check the bag weight, servings per pack and kcal per bag. Walkers UK lists 22g and 96 kcal for Oven Baked Sea Salt and 25g and 132 kcal for Lightly Salted; Seabrook lists 31.8g and 164 kcal for Sea Salted, while Tyrrells lists 40g and 202 kcal for Mature Cheddar & Chive. | I want crisps alongside supper, so I need to decide whether a 22–25g bag or a larger single bag fits the meal I am planning. |
| Salt | Compare salt per bag for the portion you will eat. For recipe comparisons across different bag sizes, also check salt per 100g; NHS inform identifies more than 1.5g salt per 100g as high. | If other parts of supper are salty, I want to see what the crisp bag adds rather than judge it by a reduced-salt name alone. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients, highlighted allergens and any precautionary statement on the exact pack. Tyrrells lists milk ingredients in Mature Cheddar & Chive; Seabrook labels Sea Salted gluten-free and suitable for vegetarians and vegans. | I need a flavour whose actual recipe and labelling fit my dietary requirements, not a claim assumed to apply across the brand. |
| Flavour and seasoning | Compare the exact flavour’s ingredients and salt figure. Seabrook lists 0.4g salt for a 31.8g Sea Salted bag and 0.8g for a 31.8g Sea Salt & Vinegar bag. | With an already strongly flavoured supper, I might choose a simpler seasoning; if I prefer a seasoned bag, I still want to check its recipe. |
That comparison can obscure the amount in the bag you will actually eat. Walkers UK lists 96 kcal for its 22g Oven Baked Sea Salt bag; Tyrrells lists 202 kcal for its 40g Mature Cheddar & Chive bag.
Compare bag weight, kcal and salt on the stated serving basis first. Use per-100g values when you want to compare recipes independently of bag size.
Seabrook lists 0.4g salt for a 31.8g Sea Salted bag and 0.8g for a 31.8g Sea Salt & Vinegar bag, despite the equal bag weights.
Check the salt line for the exact flavour instead of relying on the brand or portion size.
Seabrook Sea Salted is labelled vegan and gluten-free, but other recipes can contain different ingredients: Tyrrells Mature Cheddar & Chive lists milk, and Pipers Kirkby Malham Chorizo lists milk and pork-derived chorizo sausage.
Read the exact pack’s ingredients, allergen information and any ‘may contain’ statement before buying.

Check the current product page, availability for your address and delivery timing before placing an order.
These product examples show why bag size, nutrition and dietary labelling need checking by flavour; a brand name alone does not settle the choice.
The checked range includes a 22g Oven Baked Sea Salt bag and a 25g Lightly Salted potato-crisp bag.
Mature Cheddar & Chive is listed in 40g and 150g formats, so the 40g pack is the relevant example for a single-bag supper.
Kettle Chips says its potato crisps use British potatoes and are hand-cooked in Norfolk.
The checked Sea Salted flavour is a 31.8g bag labelled gluten-free and suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

Six 24g bags provide individually portioned crisps. If adjusting the seasoning appeals, check the salt sachet and the exact pack’s nutrition and allergen information before serving.
Walkers UK lists Oven Baked Sea Salt at 22g and 96 kcal per bag, making it smaller than the 25g, 31.8g and 40g examples discussed here. It is made using potato flakes and starch, so check the recipe if you want a conventional sliced-potato crisp.
No. Read the amount of salt in the bag you intend to eat and consider the other food in your supper. Walkers UK lists 0.17g salt per 25g Lightly Salted bag; NHS inform advises a maximum of 6g salt a day for adults and children aged 11 and over.
Do not assume so from the flavour name. Seabrook specifically labels Sea Salted gluten-free and suitable for vegetarians and vegans, but suitability must be checked on the exact product and its allergen statement.
Read the exact pack’s ingredients, highlighted allergens and any precautionary statement. UK government guidance says food businesses must provide information about specified allergens used as ingredients; a different flavour can have a different recipe.
Yes, but compare it by its own pack size and nutrition rather than treating it as equivalent to a 22–25g bag. Tyrrells lists its 40g Mature Cheddar & Chive pack as one serving, while REAL Crisps lists a 35g bag format in its shop.
