For a defined portion of potato crisps during gaming, Walkers Oven Baked Sea Salt is a useful starting point: Walkers states that it has 50% less fat than regular potato crisps, and its multipack contains 22g inner bags. Tyrrells’ lentil crisps offer another manufacturer-stated fat reduction against standard potato crisps, but compare salt and serving size separately; neither reduced-fat claim establishes a product’s HFSS status.
If you want potato crisps in a defined desk-side portion, Walkers Oven Baked Sea Salt combines a manufacturer-stated reduction against regular potato crisps with 22g inner bags. Check the claim on the exact flavour you buy.
A reduced-fat claim answers only part of the buying question. Compare salt per 100g across products, then check the amount in the portion you plan to eat, particularly when switching from potato to lentil crisps.
Vegetarian or vegan labelling does not replace the allergen statement. Walkers labels its Oven Baked Sea Salt crisps suitable for vegetarians; the cited Kettle Lightly Salted and Seabrook Sea Salted products are labelled suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Check the exact flavour and pack for your requirements.
Start with the claim’s comparison product, then read the nutrition panel on a consistent per-100g basis. Pack size tells you how those figures relate to a gaming-session portion.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Fat reduction | Compare fat per 100g and identify what each reduced-fat claim uses as its baseline. Walkers states 50% less fat than regular potato crisps for Oven Baked Sea Salt; Tyrrells states 30% less fat than standard potato crisps on average for its cited lentil crisps. | I want to know what the reduction is measured against, rather than treating two differently worded claims as the same comparison. |
| Salt | Read salt per 100g and per serving where both are given. Walkers lists 0.85g salt per 100g for Oven Baked Sea Salt; check the relevant Tyrrells flavour’s own panel rather than assuming its fat claim also describes salt. | Fat matters to me, but I also want to see how much salt is in the portion I will eat. |
| Portion size | Check the weight of an inner bag or measure a portion from a sharing bag. The Walkers Oven Baked Sea Salt multipack contains 22g inner bags; its product information lists 96kcal and 0.19g salt per bag. | A separately packed portion would help me decide how much to put beside me before I start playing. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredient and allergen statement for the exact flavour and pack. A vegetarian or vegan designation answers a different question from an allergen warning. | I need to check whether the particular snack meets my ingredient or allergy requirements, not just whether its range has a dietary label. |
| Snack format | Check whether the product is a potato crisp, lentil crisp, vegetable crisp or crispbread before comparing its nutrition and pack size. These are different snack formats, even when displayed together. | I might consider a non-potato snack, but I do not want to mistake a crispbread for a conventional bag of crisps. |
According to Tyrrells, its cited lentil crisps have less fat than standard potato crisps on average. That claim does not describe their salt content or establish an HFSS classification.
Compare the nutrition panels on the same per-100g basis, then check the serving you intend to eat. Assess HFSS status separately if it matters for a particular setting.
Per-100g figures do not by themselves describe how much you eat. Walkers’ cited Oven Baked Sea Salt multipack gives a defined 22g inner bag.
If you prefer a sharing bag, put the amount you plan to eat in a bowl before playing and use that amount when reading the nutrition information.
Walkers labels Oven Baked Sea Salt suitable for vegetarians, while its product information also carries a may-contain warning covering milk, wheat, soya, mustard and cereals containing gluten.
Check the current allergen statement for the exact flavour and pack, especially when buying a variety multipack.
Kettle Chips lists 29.5g fat per 100g for its cited Lightly Salted product, and Seabrook lists 30.4g per 100g for Sea Salted. Walkers lists 13g per 100g for Oven Baked Sea Salt.
If fat reduction is your reason for switching, compare the specific products’ per-100g panels before choosing by texture or flavour.
These examples describe particular product lines, not every crisp made by each brand or the products listed below.
Oven Baked Sea Salt is a potato-crisp example with a defined multipack portion.
The cited Sour Cream & Onion and Sweet Chilli & Red Pepper Lentil Crisps offer a lentil-based route.
The cited Lightly Salted hand-cooked potato crisps provide a conventional-crisp reference rather than a reduced-fat claim.
The cited Sea Salted crinkle-cut potato crisps provide another conventional-crisp reference.
These options include baked potato crisps in 22g inner bags, two other crisp formats and a crispbread alternative. Check each product’s own nutrition and allergen information before treating it as a match for a particular reduced-fat claim.

Six individually packed 22g bags give you a defined portion to take to a gaming session. Check the nutrition and allergens for each flavour in the variety pack rather than applying the Sea Salt flavour’s figures to all of them.

The six 22g bags suit a choice made by individual pack rather than from a sharing bag. Check this Cheese & Onion flavour’s own fat, salt and allergen information; the cited Sea Salt figures do not establish its nutrition values.

This 85g bag offers a different crisp format from the baked potato multipacks. Decide on a portion before playing, and read this product’s own fat, salt and allergen panel when comparing it with potato crisps.

The 30g pack is a single pack to consider if you want a vegetable-crisp alternative. Compare its own nutrition panel with potato crisps rather than assuming that the vegetable name establishes a fat or salt reduction.

These 125g thins are a crispbread-style snack, not a potato or lentil crisp. If that format appeals, choose a portion from the pack and compare its own nutrition and allergen information with the crisps you are considering.
No. The Department of Health and Social Care’s nutrient profiling model uses an overall score that accounts for more than fat alone. A reduced-fat claim cannot establish a particular crisp’s score or whether a restriction applies to it.
No conclusion about a particular crisp follows from its reduced-fat claim. The Department for Education describes school food standards as a separate framework applying to food and drink provided to pupils at state-funded schools in England. A school or caterer should assess the product against the standards and requirements for its setting rather than treating the claim as permission or a ban.
Choose an inner bag if you want its amount defined before you start; portion a sharing bag first if you prefer that format. Walkers’ Oven Baked Sea Salt multipack has 22g inner bags, with 96kcal and 0.19g salt listed per bag. Use the amount you actually plan to eat when reading another product’s panel.
No. Walkers labels the product suitable for vegetarians but also gives a may-contain warning for milk, wheat, soya, mustard and cereals containing gluten. Read the current statement on the exact pack if those ingredients matter to you.
They are conventional potato-crisp references, not the cited reduced-fat choices. Kettle Chips lists 29.5g fat per 100g for Lightly Salted and Seabrook lists 30.4g per 100g for Sea Salted; Walkers lists 13g per 100g for Oven Baked Sea Salt. Compare the exact products if fat content is your reason for switching.
