Households and workplaces stocking separate portions
Walkers Oven Baked variety multipacks contain six individual 22 g bags, making them a format to consider when crisps need to go into lunchboxes or be kept in a desk drawer.
Who these formats suit
People buying snacks to share
Tyrrells Lentil Sour Cream & Onion comes in an 80 g bag listed as two to three servings. It suits a shared-bag plan rather than a supply of individually packed portions.
Buyers checking dietary and allergen information
Check every flavour in a mixed pack before ordering several. The listed Walkers variety includes flavours with milk and gluten-containing ingredients; the reviewed KETTLE Lightly Salted and Seabrook Sea Salted products are labelled vegan and gluten-free, but their nutrition differs from the reduced-fat options discussed here.
What to check before stocking up
Choose the pack format for how the crisps will be served, then compare fat on the same per-100 g basis and read the label for each flavour.
Individual multipacks
Consider when: separate bags matter for lunchboxes, desks or distributing snacks.
Bear in mind: a Walkers Oven Baked variety pack has six bags, and its flavours need individual allergen checks.
Sharing bags
Consider when: several people will eat from a larger bag rather than take separate packs.
Bear in mind: the reviewed Tyrrells lentil bag is listed as two to three servings, not individually packed portions.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Fat comparison | Read the stated comparison and fat per 100 g. Walkers UK lists 13 g per 100 g for Oven Baked Sea Salt; Tyrrells lists 20 g per 100 g for its Lentil Sour Cream & Onion flavour. Tyrrells’ 30% claim compares its lentil crisps with standard potato crisps on average, using a review from March 2021. | I want a reduction that is clear on the exact flavour I’m buying, rather than relying on words such as “lightly salted”. |
| Pack format | Check the number and weight of inner bags, or the sharing bag’s stated servings. ASDA lists six 22 g bags in the Walkers Oven Baked variety multipack; Waitrose & Partners lists two to three servings for the 80 g Tyrrells bag. | Separate bags would help me distribute snacks; if we will share one bag, I need to plan for that format instead. |
| Portion information | Compare products per 100 g first, then read the fat value for the portion you expect to serve. Walkers UK lists 2.8 g per 22 g Oven Baked Sea Salt bag; Tyrrells lists 6.0 g per 30 g Lentil Sour Cream & Onion serving. | A single bag and a serving taken from a sharing pack are different amounts, so I want to compare both the labels and the portions. |
| Other label details | Check salt, ingredients and precautionary allergen statements for each flavour. The listed Walkers variety includes flavours with milk and gluten-containing ingredients; the Tyrrells Sour Cream & Onion bag contains milk-derived ingredients and may contain gluten and soya. | Before buying several packs for other people, I need to know which specific flavours they can have. |
Buying mistakes to avoid
-
Reading “lightly salted” as “reduced fat”
Salt and fat are separate label checks. Walkers UK lists 31 g fat per 100 g for its Lightly Salted product, compared with 13 g per 100 g for its Oven Baked Sea Salt product.
Read the exact claim and compare fat per 100 g for the flavours you intend to order.
-
Comparing unequal portions
A 22 g individual bag and a serving from an 80 g sharing bag are not the same quantity. Walkers UK lists 2.8 g fat per 22 g Oven Baked Sea Salt bag; Tyrrells lists 6.0 g per 30 g Lentil Sour Cream & Onion serving.
Use per-100 g figures to compare products, then check the labelled serving and the amount likely to be served.
-
Checking only one flavour in a mixed pack
Ingredients and allergen statements can differ between flavours. The listed Walkers variety includes milk and gluten-containing ingredients in relevant flavours, while the reviewed Tyrrells Sour Cream & Onion bag contains milk-derived ingredients.
Read the current label for every flavour intended for someone with an allergy or intolerance before placing a larger order.
-
Assuming a listing fixes the recipe
Ingredients and nutrition information can change, particularly when an order will be repeated.
Confirm the pack size and current label for the exact product received rather than relying on an earlier listing.
Relevant brand ranges
These are product-specific points of comparison, not claims about every crisp made by each brand.
Walkers
Oven Baked variety multipacks provide separate 22 g bags. Walkers states that its Oven Baked crisps have 50% less fat than regular potato crisps.
- Walkers UK lists 13 g fat per 100 g and 2.8 g per 22 g bag for Oven Baked Sea Salt; ASDA lists the same fat values for the flavours in its variety multipack.
- Check each variety flavour’s allergens. Walkers Lightly Salted is a different product with a reduced-salt claim, not the same fat profile.
Tyrrells
The reviewed lentil crisps offer a sharing-bag alternative. Tyrrells states that the range has 30% less fat than standard potato crisps on average, based on a review of almost 300 crisps in March 2021.
- Tyrrells lists 20 g fat per 100 g for Lentil Sour Cream & Onion; Waitrose & Partners lists the 80 g bag as two to three servings.
- The reviewed flavour contains milk-derived ingredients and may contain gluten and soya. It is a lentil-based sharing snack, not a portioned potato-crisp multipack.
KETTLE Chips
The reviewed Lightly Salted product is a conventional hand-cooked crisp supplied in a factory-standard case, according to KETTLE Chips.
- The product is labelled vegan and gluten-free.
- Its listed fat content is 29.5 g per 100 g; the Lightly Salted name does not establish a reduced-fat claim.
Seabrook
Sea Salted is a conventional crinkle-cut crisp. J L Brooks lists a 32 x 31.8 g case for this product.
- Seabrook labels Sea Salted gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan.
- Seabrook lists 30.4 g fat per 100 g for this flavour; its case format does not make it a reduced-fat option.
McCoy’s
The reviewed Salted flavour is a conventional ridged crisp rather than an evidenced reduced-fat choice.
- McCoy’s provides nutrition and precautionary allergen information for the reviewed flavour.
- McCoy’s lists 32 g fat per 100 g and may-contain statements for milk, soya, gluten and mustard.
REAL Hand Cooked Crisps
REAL lists its Sea Salt crisps in a 24 x 35 g case for buyers seeking a conventional hand-cooked format.
- REAL states that its range is vegetarian and gluten-free; check the exact case label when ordering.
- The Sea Salt product is listed at 30.0 g fat per 100 g, rather than with the reduced-fat specification sought here.

Walkers Oven Baked Cheese & Onion 6 x 22 g
This single-flavour multipack contains six 22 g bags, a format to consider when separate portions matter more than variety. Check the Cheese & Onion pack’s current nutrition, ingredients and allergen statements for the exact product ordered.
Image unavailable
PopChips Barbecue 5 x 17 g
Five individual 17 g bags provide another single-flavour format for separate portions. Compare its current fat value per 100 g with other options rather than assuming the preparation method establishes a reduced-fat claim; check the allergen label too.

PopChips Sour Cream & Onion 85 g
This 85 g bag offers a larger format for sharing, rather than separate inner packs. Check its current nutrition panel and allergen statement when comparing it with portioned multipacks or Tyrrells’ lentil crisps.
Common questions
Does reduced fat mean reduced salt?
No: check the two values separately. Walkers UK lists 13 g fat per 100 g for Oven Baked Sea Salt, while its different Lightly Salted product carries a reduced-salt claim and lists 31 g fat per 100 g.
Which format provides separate portions?
The Walkers Oven Baked variety multipack contains six individual 22 g bags, according to ASDA. The reviewed Tyrrells Lentil Sour Cream & Onion product is one 80 g bag listed as two to three servings, so it needs dividing if separate portions are wanted.
What allergens should I check before ordering several packs?
Read the current ingredients and allergen statement for every intended flavour. ASDA’s Walkers variety listing identifies milk and gluten-containing ingredients in relevant flavours; Waitrose & Partners lists milk-derived ingredients and may-contain gluten and soya statements for Tyrrells Lentil Sour Cream & Onion.
Will a conventional crisp case meet a reduced-fat requirement?
A case format alone does not establish a fat reduction. The reviewed KETTLE Lightly Salted, Seabrook Sea Salted, McCoy’s Salted and REAL Sea Salt products list 29.5 g, 30.4 g, 32 g and 30.0 g fat per 100 g respectively on their brand product information. Check the exact product’s claim and nutrition panel rather than applying those figures to every flavour from a brand.
