Sellers looking for protein per pack
If you want each crisp-style refreshment to contribute a stated amount of protein, compare the nutrition for the individual bag or serving you plan to hand out.
Who is this for?
Organisers catering for different dietary needs
Plant-based or gluten-free labels answer different questions from protein content. Check the exact flavour’s ingredients and allergen statement before offering a packet.
Buyers weighing up familiar crisp brands
Walkers, Tyrrells and KETTLE offer examples to compare with protein-focused crisps. Serving size matters: a figure per 100g does not tell you how much protein is in the packet you will give someone.
What should you check?
Start with the protein in the portion you will offer, then check the packet format and the exact flavour’s dietary information.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Protein per portion | Compare the stated protein and serving size. Applied Nutrition lists 15g per 50g bag; SlimFast lists 6.7g per serving. | I want to know how much protein is in the pack each person receives, not just the amount per 100g. |
| Other crisp choices | Tyrrells lists 3.9g per 30g serving for its lentil crisps. Walkers Ready Salted lists 1.6g per 25g pack. | Familiar flavours or a lentil-based crisp may suit my table, but I do not want to treat them as interchangeable with protein-focused packs. |
| Pack format | Check whether the product comes in individual bags or a larger pack, and how you would keep its label available if serving portions separately. | At a busy stall, I would rather hand out a clearly labelled packet than work out portions while serving customers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the current label for each flavour, including ingredients and precautionary allergen statements. SlimFast Barbeque Protein Crisps contain soy and may contain gluten and sulphites. | Someone choosing a snack may need ingredient information; a protein-focused name alone does not tell me whether that flavour suits them. |
Common buying mistakes
-
Judging protein from the front of the pack
Serving amounts differ. Applied Nutrition lists 15g protein per 50g bag, Tyrrells lists 3.9g per 30g serving for its lentil crisps, and Walkers lists 1.6g per 25g Ready Salted pack.
Decide what amount you want to offer per person, then compare protein for that actual pack or serving.
-
Equating vegan or gluten-free with protein content
KETTLE labels its Vegan Sheese & Red Onion and Lightly Salted products vegan and gluten-free, while listing 8.0g and 6.5g protein per 100g respectively.
Check dietary suitability and protein as separate parts of the buying decision.
-
Assuming protein crisps suit every dietary need
SlimFast Barbeque Protein Crisps contain soy and may contain gluten and sulphites. A different product or flavour can have a different ingredient statement.
Keep packets identifiable and check each current label before offering it to someone with an allergy or intolerance.
Relevant brand references

- Use the serving figure when comparing them with an individual bag of protein crisps.
KETTLE Chips

- KETTLE lists Vegan Sheese & Red Onion and Lightly Salted as vegan and gluten-free.
- Their listed protein amounts are 8.0g and 6.5g per 100g respectively; check the portion you intend to offer.
Walkers
A conventional potato-crisp reference for comparing familiar individual portions with protein-focused snacks.
- Walkers lists 1.6g protein per 25g pack of Ready Salted.
- Choose it for the crisp option itself rather than assuming it provides the same protein amount as a dedicated protein-crisp pack.

Frequently asked questions
How should I compare protein in crisp snacks?
Compare the protein in the portion you will actually offer. Applied Nutrition lists 15g per 50g bag of Protein Chips, while SlimFast lists 6.7g per serving of Barbeque Protein Crisps; the pack and serving sizes are part of that comparison.
Are lentil, vegan or gluten-free crisps necessarily high in protein?
No: those descriptions do not establish a particular protein amount. Tyrrells lists 3.9g per 30g serving for its lentil crisps, while KETTLE lists 8.0g per 100g for Vegan Sheese & Red Onion. Check the nutrition for the exact product and portion.
What should I do about allergens at a car boot sale?
Keep each product identifiable and make its current ingredient and allergen information available to buyers. SlimFast Barbeque Protein Crisps, for example, contain soy and may contain gluten and sulphites; do not assume another flavour has the same statement.
What if I prepare or prepack refreshments myself?
Check the labelling and food-business requirements that apply to your activity before the sale, rather than assuming they are the same as handing out unchanged manufacturer packs. The Food Standards Agency provides guidance on food prepacked for direct sale and food-business registration; your local authority can help you establish what applies to your stall.
