Who is choosing?

Shoppers replacing standard potato crisps

If you want a familiar potato-crisp format, Walkers UK lists a 50% less-fat comparison with regular potato crisps for its reviewed Oven Baked flavours. Check the exact flavour and pack rather than relying on words about salt.

Snackers considering lentil crisps

If you are open to lentil crisps, compare their nutrition panel with the potato-crisp options. Tyrrells lists 19–20g fat and 2.0–2.1g salt per 100g for its reviewed lentil flavours, alongside a 30% less-fat comparison with standard potato crisps on average.

Allergen-aware shoppers

Choose by the current pack for the exact flavour. Walkers UK lists barley malt vinegar extract and lactose from milk in Oven Baked Salt & Vinegar; ingredients and precautionary statements can differ between flavours.

What should you check?

Start with the fat comparison and per-100g panel, then check the salt, exact flavour and amount you intend to eat.

PriorityWhat to checkYour needs
Fat comparison Read what the less-fat claim compares with, then check fat per 100g. Walkers UK lists 13g per 100g for the reviewed Oven Baked flavours; Tyrrells lists 19–20g for its reviewed lentil flavours. I want a stated reduction, but the actual fat figure matters more to my choice than a product name.
Salt Compare salt separately on the same per-100g basis. Walkers UK lists 0.85–0.88g for the reviewed Oven Baked flavours; Tyrrells lists 2.0–2.1g for its reviewed lentil flavours. A reduced-fat claim does not answer my question about salt.
Allergens Read the ingredients and precautionary statements for the exact flavour on the current pack. Walkers UK lists barley malt vinegar extract and lactose from milk in Oven Baked Salt & Vinegar. Before picking up a quick snack, I need to know whether that particular flavour suits my allergen requirements.
Portion Check whether the nutrition is given per 100g, per serving or per pack, and how many servings the bag contains. The reviewed Walkers Oven Baked packs are 22g; Tyrrells gives lentil-crisp serving information for 30g. For something to eat now, I want to compare the amount I will actually have, not assume a larger bag is one serving.

Common mix-ups

  • Taking “lightly salted” to mean reduced fat

    Salt and fat are separate nutrition values. KETTLE Chips lists 29.5g fat per 100g for its reviewed Lightly Salted product, and Tyrrells lists the same fat figure for Naked (no salt).

    If reducing fat is your aim, check the fat panel and any stated comparison rather than using a salt-focused name as a shortcut.

  • Reading “reduced fat” as “low fat”

    A reduction is a comparison with another product, not a statement that the remaining fat figure is small. The reviewed Walkers UK and Tyrrells products carry less-fat comparisons yet list 13–20g fat per 100g.

    Use the per-100g figure to judge the product itself, as well as reading what its claim compares it with.

  • Checking the fat claim but overlooking salt

    Tyrrells lists 2.0–2.1g salt per 100g for its reviewed lentil flavours, compared with the 0.85–0.88g per 100g listed by Walkers UK for the reviewed Oven Baked flavours.

    If both values matter to you, compare them per 100g for the flavours you are considering.

  • Assuming every flavour or bag has the same details

    Ingredients and allergen statements can differ by flavour, while a nutrition figure per serving does not necessarily describe the whole bag.

    Check the exact pack’s ingredients, allergens, weight and number of servings before buying it for an immediate snack.

Questions about reduced-fat crisps

Are “reduced fat” and “low fat” the same thing?

No. A reduced-fat claim compares a product with another product, while “low fat” is a different description. The reviewed Walkers UK and Tyrrells reduced-fat examples list 13–20g fat per 100g, so read the actual figure as well as the comparison.

Does “lightly salted” mean a crisp is lower in fat?

No. KETTLE Chips lists 29.5g fat per 100g for its reviewed Lightly Salted product, compared with the 13g per 100g that Walkers UK lists for its reviewed Oven Baked flavours. Check fat and salt separately.

How do I compare a single pack with a larger bag?

Check the pack weight, serving size and fat figure for the amount you expect to eat. The reviewed Walkers Oven Baked individual packs are 22g, while Tyrrells presents its reviewed lentil-crisp serving information for 30g; a larger bag should not automatically be treated as one serving.

Do reduced-fat crisps still need an allergen check?

Yes. Fat reduction does not establish allergen suitability. Walkers UK lists barley malt vinegar extract and lactose from milk for Oven Baked Salt & Vinegar; read the current ingredients and precautionary statements for the exact flavour you buy.
