Who is buying for the office?

Buyers looking for lower-fat potato crisps

If potato remains the required base, compare fat per 100g rather than relying on a smaller bag. Walkers UK lists 13g fat per 100g for Oven Baked Sea Salt; the other named potato-crisp examples in this article have different declared values and flavour profiles.

Buyers weighing fat against salt

A salt-focused choice need not be a lower-fat choice. Walkers UK lists 31g fat per 100g for Lightly Salted, while Tyrrells lists 29.5g fat per 100g for Naked (no salt). Decide which value matters for this purchase before comparing packs.

Organisers of shared snacks

Keep each flavour identifiable so colleagues can read its ingredients and allergen statement. This matters especially in a mixed tin, where information for one crisp cannot stand in for every pack.

What should you check?

Start with fat per 100g if lower fat is the aim, then check salt, ingredients and whether the packs will remain identifiable in a shared tin.

PriorityWhat to checkYour needs
Fat Compare the exact potato crisps per 100g. Walkers UK lists 13g fat per 100g for Oven Baked Sea Salt and claims 50% less fat than regular potato crisps; check the claim on any different flavour or pack. I want a potato crisp with a lower declared fat value, not just a smaller serving or a different base ingredient.
Salt Read salt per 100g separately. Walkers UK lists 0.85g for Oven Baked Sea Salt and 0.67g for Lightly Salted; the latter lists 31g fat per 100g. If salt is my main consideration, I need to compare salt values without assuming a lower-salt pack is also lower in fat.
Ingredients Check each flavour’s ingredient list and allergen statement. Keep the packaging available when putting different crisps in the same tin. Colleagues should be able to identify what is in their own pack rather than relying on a label for the whole tin.
Pack format Check the number and size of inner packs, and whether each will stay labelled. A sharing bag and an individual multipack serve different communal setups. For a tin people dip into throughout the day, separate labelled packs may be easier to identify than loose crisps.

Common buying mistakes

  • Treating reduced fat as the same thing as low fat

    A percentage reduction describes a comparison; it does not by itself establish a low-fat claim. Walkers UK lists 13g fat per 100g for Oven Baked Sea Salt.

    Read the per-100g value alongside the claim. Business Companion’s September 2026 nutrition-claims guidance gives a threshold of no more than 3g fat per 100g for a low-fat claim on solid food.

  • Buying for lower salt when the brief is lower fat

    Walkers UK lists 31g fat per 100g for Lightly Salted, despite its lower-salt claim. Its Oven Baked Sea Salt product lists 13g fat and 0.85g salt per 100g.

    Choose which measure you are comparing, then read both values on the exact pack.

  • Mixing flavours without keeping their labels

    Ingredients and allergen statements can differ by flavour. For example, REAL Hand Cooked Crisps lists milk ingredients for Strong Cheddar & Onion.

    Keep packs identifiable and retain the outer packaging so colleagues can check the relevant product information.

  • Calling a lentil crisp a lower-fat potato crisp

    Tyrrells describes a lower-fat comparison for its lentil crisps, but lentils and potatoes are different bases. That distinction matters if the office brief specifically calls for potato crisps.

    Check the base ingredient before comparing fat values, and describe any lentil option as an alternative rather than a potato-crisp equivalent.

Brand and product references

These references concern the named products, not every flavour in each brand’s range or what is currently available to buy.

Walkers

Oven Baked Sea Salt addresses the lower-fat potato-crisp brief; Lightly Salted addresses a different, salt-focused brief.

  • Walkers UK lists 13g fat per 100g for Oven Baked Sea Salt and claims 50% less fat than regular potato crisps.
  • Walkers UK lists 31g fat per 100g for Lightly Salted. Check allergen statements for the flavour being bought.

Tyrrells

Naked (no salt) is a salt-focused potato crisp; Tyrrells’ lentil crisps offer a different base ingredient.

  • Tyrrells lists 0.06g salt per 100g for Naked (no salt).
  • Naked (no salt) lists 29.5g fat per 100g. The brand’s lower-fat lentil comparison does not describe a potato crisp.

Kettle Chips

The KETTLE Originals Box is a sharing-pack format with several flavours.

  • Kettle Chips describes its Originals Box as containing eight sharing packs.
  • Its listed Lightly Salted flavour has 30.1g fat per 100g; the name is not a lower-fat claim.

Seabrook

Sea Salted has stated dietary labelling, separate from this article’s lower-fat objective.

  • Seabrook labels Sea Salted gluten-free and suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
  • Seabrook lists 30.4g fat and 1.3g salt per 100g for this product.

Pipers

The named sea-salt and jalapeño-and-dill products offer distinct flavours, rather than an established lower-fat potato-crisp route.

  • Pipers labels its Anglesey Sea Salt product gluten-free and suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
  • Pipers lists 30.7g fat per 100g for Anglesey Sea Salt and 29g per 100g for Upton Cheyney Jalapeño & Dill.

REAL Hand Cooked Crisps

The brand describes its range as vegetarian and gluten-free, but individual flavours still need an ingredient check.

  • REAL Hand Cooked Crisps states that its range is vegetarian and gluten-free.
  • Its Strong Cheddar & Onion product lists milk ingredients and 25.8g fat per 100g.

Questions about office crisp tins

Does reduced fat mean low fat?

No. Walkers UK claims 50% less fat than regular potato crisps for Oven Baked Sea Salt, which lists 13g fat per 100g. Business Companion’s September 2026 nutrition-claims guidance gives a threshold of no more than 3g fat per 100g for a low-fat claim on solid food.

Are lower-fat potato crisps also lower in salt?

Not necessarily. Walkers UK lists 0.85g salt per 100g for Oven Baked Sea Salt. Its separate Lightly Salted product lists 0.67g salt and 31g fat per 100g, so compare both figures against the purpose of the purchase.

Should crisps stay in their packs in an office tin?

Keeping packs identifiable lets colleagues check the ingredients and allergen statement for the flavour they take. Retain the outer packaging too, particularly if the inner bags do not show all the information you need.

Can a mixed crisp tin be labelled allergen-free?

Do not give a mixed tin a blanket allergen-free description based on one product. Ingredients and precautionary statements differ: REAL Hand Cooked Crisps lists milk ingredients in Strong Cheddar & Onion, for example. Check every included pack and how it is handled.

Which pack format helps keep office snacks identifiable?

Separate, labelled inner packs can make each flavour easier to identify than loose crisps. Check what information appears on both the inner bags and the outer pack before placing a multipack in a shared tin.
