For revision snacks shared over several sessions, Tesco Mixed Snacks provides 30 individual bags in a 530g assortment, provided a mix of flavours suits everyone. If you want a particular maize-snack format instead, compare the bag counts and portion sizes of Chipsticks, Wotsits and Monster Munch, then check the ingredients and nutrition information for the exact pack.
If several people will share the snacks, individually wrapped bags make portions straightforward to divide. Tesco Groceries lists 30 bags in its Mixed Snacks assortment; check that its three snack varieties appeal to the group.
Check the ingredients rather than relying on the shape of a puff or curl. Tesco Groceries describes Chipsticks as a maize-and-potato snack, lists corn in Wotsits and describes Monster Munch Pickled Onion as a corn snack; its Quavers Cheese listing describes a potato snack.
A mixed pack can contain different ingredients in different bags. Compare the allergy information for every variety and the nutrition information for the portion you plan to eat.
Start with how many separate snack breaks the pack needs to cover, then narrow the choice by snack type, portion and label information.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Pack size | Compare the number of bags, total weight and weight per bag. Tesco Groceries lists Mixed Snacks as 30 bags and 530g; its Chipsticks pack has six 17g bags. | I’m stocking snacks for several revision sessions or sharing them, so the number of separate bags matters as well as the total amount. |
| Snack type | Read the product description and ingredients for maize or corn. Tesco Groceries describes Quavers Cheese as a potato snack, not a direct maize-snack alternative. | If I specifically want a maize-based snack, I need to check the ingredients rather than choose by appearance alone. |
| Portion and label | Compare nutrition information for one bag and note its weight. The Food Standards Agency explains that traffic-light labels show whether fat, saturates, sugars and salt are high, medium or low. | For repeated snack breaks, I want to know what is in an individual bag rather than rely on a description such as ‘baked’. |
| Ingredients | Check the allergy statement on the exact pack and each flavour in an assortment. Read any ‘may contain’ statement separately from the ingredients list. | Before sharing a multipack, I need to know whether every variety is suitable for the people who will eat it. |

A snack multipack does not provide the range of food groups described in the UK Eatwell Guide. Keep it as a snack rather than relying on crisps or puffs in place of meals; the guide also advises having foods high in fat, salt or sugar less often and in small amounts.
