For a lower-fat maize snack to take with lunch, compare fat per 100g before checking the amount in the individual bag. Tesco Groceries lists Wotsits WOW Lightly Salted at 21g fat per 100g and 3.1g per 15g bag, while Walkers UK lists standard Wotsits Cheese at 33g per 100g and 7.4g per 22.5g serving. Bag size, salt and the exact product’s allergen statement can change which option suits you.
An individual bag is easy to take with lunch, but its size affects the per-bag figure. Tesco Groceries lists Wotsits WOW Lightly Salted at 21g fat per 100g and 3.1g per 15g bag; Walkers UK lists standard Wotsits Cheese at 33g per 100g and 7.4g per 22.5g serving.
Pack weight matters alongside the nutrition figures. Walkers UK lists Quavers Cheese at 86 kcal and 4.9g fat per 16g pack, and Monster Munch Pickled Onion at 98 kcal and 5g fat per 20g pack.
Check the statement for the exact flavour rather than assuming a maize-based snack meets an exclusion. Walkers UK lists milk in standard Wotsits Cheese; Tesco Groceries labels its Free From Onion Maize Snack Rings free from milk and cereals containing gluten.
Start with the per-100g figure to compare products of different sizes, then check what one bag contributes to your lunch.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Fat | Read fat per 100g for comparison, then fat per bag. Tesco Groceries lists Wotsits WOW Lightly Salted at 21g per 100g and 3.1g per 15g bag; Walkers UK lists standard Wotsits Cheese at 33g per 100g and 7.4g per 22.5g serving. | I want to compare the recipes without mistaking a smaller bag for a lower fat concentration. |
| Portion | Check the weight and kcal for the individual bag, not just the multipack. Tesco Groceries lists 72 kcal per 15g bag of Wotsits WOW Lightly Salted; Walkers UK lists 98 kcal per 20g pack of Monster Munch Pickled Onion. | A single bag needs to fit the portion I plan to take with lunch. |
| Allergens | Read the current ingredients and any “may contain” statement for the exact flavour. Walkers UK lists milk in standard Wotsits Cheese; Tesco Groceries labels its Free From Onion Maize Snack Rings free from milk and cereals containing gluten. | If I avoid an ingredient, I need the particular pack’s label to match that requirement. |
| Salt | Compare salt per bag as well as per 100g when salt matters to your choice. Tesco Groceries lists 0.17g salt per 15g bag of Wotsits WOW Lightly Salted. | Fat is not the only figure I want to consider for my lunch snack. |
Walkers UK lists Quavers Cheese at 4.9g fat per 16g pack but 30.8g per 100g. A per-pack figure reflects portion size as well as fat concentration.
Compare fat per 100g first, then check the fat and kcal in the bag you intend to eat.
Baked snacks can have different nutrition figures. Tesco Groceries lists Wotsits WOW Lightly Salted at 21g fat per 100g, while Walkers UK lists Monster Munch Pickled Onion at 25g per 100g.
Use the nutrition panel for the exact flavour and pack size rather than the preparation description alone.
Other ingredients and allergen statements still matter. Walkers UK lists milk in standard Wotsits Cheese, while Tesco Groceries identifies specified exclusions on its Free From Onion Maize Snack Rings.
Read the current ingredients and allergen statement on the pack against the exclusions you need to make.
Tesco Groceries places Wotsits WOW Lightly Salted in its Baked & Reduced Fat Crisps & Snacks category. That category name does not give every listed product the same fat, portion or allergen profile.
Check the exact product’s per-100g and per-bag figures before choosing.
The Wotsits products considered here include standard Cheese puffs and WOW Lightly Salted puffs.
The Pickled Onion product provides a 20g individual pack for comparison with smaller puff bags.
Quavers Cheese is a separate snack option to consider when a 16g bag suits your lunch.
The Onion Maize Snack Rings carry labels for specified dietary exclusions.
These individually portioned options include popcorn, corn puffs and Monster Munch multipacks. Compare the current nutrition and allergen information for each exact product before choosing on fat content.

Not by itself. Tesco Groceries lists Wotsits WOW Lightly Salted at 21g fat per 100g, while Walkers UK lists Monster Munch Pickled Onion at 25g per 100g. Compare the exact products’ nutrition panels rather than using “baked” as the comparison.
Use both: per 100g helps compare different bag sizes, while per-pack fat tells you the amount in one bag. Walkers UK lists Quavers Cheese at 30.8g per 100g and 4.9g per 16g pack; Tesco Groceries lists Wotsits WOW Lightly Salted at 21g per 100g and 3.1g per 15g bag.
No. Ingredients and allergen statements differ by product: Walkers UK lists milk in standard Wotsits Cheese, whereas Tesco Groceries labels its Free From Onion Maize Snack Rings free from milk and cereals containing gluten. Check the exact current pack against the ingredients you need to avoid.
Use the listing to narrow your choice, then read the actual pack before eating, particularly if an ingredient exclusion matters. Check the precise flavour and its “may contain” statement rather than relying on another product in the same range.
