Among the manufacturer-labelled examples here, Seabrook Crunchies have fewer calories per complete bag—81–82 kcal in an 18g bag—than Walkers Oven Baked Sea Salt at 96 kcal in a 22g bag. That is also a smaller portion: compare bag weight and salt as well as calories, then check the exact flavour’s ingredients and allergen information before handing snacks out.
Sealed single bags make it easier to give each participant a defined portion. Joybuy lists Walkers Oven Baked Sea Salt as a multipack of six individual 22g bags; check the exact pack and its availability before planning around it.
The full bag matters more to this decision than a per-100g figure alone. Seabrook lists 81–82 kcal for its 18g Crunchies bags, while Walkers lists 96 kcal for a 22g Oven Baked Sea Salt bag.
Check each flavour’s current ingredients and any “may contain” statement before distributing bags. The Food Standards Agency explains that allergens present in UK prepacked food must be emphasised in its ingredients list.
Start with the complete bag you plan to hand out. A lower calorie figure can reflect a smaller portion, so read the bag weight alongside the nutrition information.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Calories and portion | Compare kcal per complete bag and its weight in grams. Seabrook lists 81 kcal for 18g Salt & Vinegar Crunchies and 82 kcal for 18g Sea Salted Crunchies; Walkers lists 96 kcal for 22g Oven Baked Sea Salt. | I want a defined snack for each participant, but an 18g bag may not serve the same purpose as a 22g bag. |
| Salt and nutrition labels | Check salt per bag alongside calories, fat and saturates; confirm that the stated serving is the whole bag. Seabrook lists 0.39g salt for Salt & Vinegar Crunchies and 0.30g for Sea Salted Crunchies, versus Walkers’ 0.19g for Oven Baked Sea Salt. | I would rather compare the actual labels than choose by a “baked” description. In the Food Standards Agency and Ipsos’s 2024 Northern Ireland survey of 611 interviewees, 49% reported actively using traffic-light labelling when shopping for food; that figure describes those shoppers, not Easter-event organisers. |
| Allergens and flavours | Read the ingredients and precautionary allergen statement on every flavour. The Food Standards Agency distinguishes allergens present in a food from those that could be unintentionally present, signalled by wording such as “may contain”. | Before I hand bags to a group, I need to know which exact flavours are suitable for the people attending; a range-wide dietary description is not enough. |
| Pack format | Count the individual bags and check their weights. For a sharing bag, decide portions separately rather than treating its per-100g nutrition values as a single serving. | Separate sealed bags would make distribution simpler; a sharing pack would mean portioning the snacks out myself. |
Seabrook’s 18g Crunchies bags have fewer calories per bag than the 22g Walkers Oven Baked Sea Salt bag, but they are smaller portions.
Compare kcal and grams for the complete bag before deciding which portion works for the event.
Seabrook lists 0.39g salt in an 18g Salt & Vinegar Crunchies bag, compared with Walkers’ 0.19g in a 22g Oven Baked Sea Salt bag.
Check both figures for the exact flavours you are considering.
Ingredients and precautionary allergen statements can differ between flavours, so one bag’s label cannot stand in for the whole multipack.
Read each included flavour’s current packaging before giving bags to anyone with an allergy.
The NHS advises fruit and vegetable snacks for children and says to aim for no more than two packaged snacks a day.
If crisps are part of the hunt, offer them as an optional individually portioned snack alongside fruit or vegetables where practical.
These examples show why pack size, flavour and nutrition label matter more than choosing by brand alone.

Six individual 25g bags offer a larger stated portion than the 17g, 20g and 22g options above. The range name refers to salt, not calories: check both figures per complete bag, along with the current allergen label.
Compare kcal per complete bag, then its weight and salt per bag. Seabrook lists 81–82 kcal for its 18g Crunchies bags, while Walkers lists 96 kcal for a 22g Oven Baked Sea Salt bag; the portions are not the same size.
No: the “baked” description does not establish how one complete bag compares with another. Walkers Oven Baked Sea Salt is 96 kcal per 22g bag, whereas Seabrook’s 18g Crunchies bags are 81–82 kcal; check the exact flavour and bag weight.
Offer another option if practical. The NHS advises fruit and vegetable snacks for children and says to aim for no more than two packaged snacks a day; individually bagged crisps can be an optional part of the spread.
Read the current ingredients list and any “may contain” statement for each flavour. The Food Standards Agency says allergens present in UK prepacked food must be emphasised in the ingredients list; a precautionary statement instead signals possible unintended presence.
Check the exact bag rather than assuming a description applies across flavours or addresses every allergy. Seabrook’s Crunchies labels, for example, say the products may contain milk, soya, sulphites and cereals containing gluten.
