For a weekly shop focused on less fat, Walkers Oven Baked Sea Salt and Cheese & Onion are two options to compare: Walkers UK lists 13g fat per 100g for each and claims they contain 50% less fat than regular potato crisps. Check salt, the portion you expect to eat and the exact flavour’s ingredients separately; if salt matters more than fat, Tyrrells Naked lists 0.06g salt but 29.5g fat per 100g.
If reducing total fat is the reason for changing crisps, compare the figures per 100g before considering pack size or flavour. Walkers UK lists 13g fat per 100g for both Oven Baked Sea Salt and Cheese & Onion; salt and ingredients still need a separate check.
A no-salt flavour may fit a different priority from a reduced-fat one. Tyrrells lists 0.06g salt and 29.5g fat per 100g for Naked, so its salt figure does not make it a substitute for choosing less fat.
Check the current pack for every flavour the household will eat. Ingredients, suitability statements and precautionary allergen wording can differ between products, including flavours from the same brand.
Start with the per-100g panel to compare products on the same basis. Then look at the stated serving and the ingredients for the particular pack you plan to buy.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Total fat | Compare fat per 100g, not just a reduced-fat claim. Walkers UK lists 13g per 100g for its Oven Baked Sea Salt and Cheese & Onion products; its 50% less-fat comparison is the manufacturer’s claim against regular potato crisps. | I want a lower-fat crisp, so I’ll read the nutrition panel as well as the pack front. In a 2024 Food Standards Agency and Ipsos Northern Ireland survey of 611 Northern Ireland adults, 49% said they actively used traffic-light labelling when shopping for food; that figure is about food-label use, not crisp preferences. |
| Salt | Read salt per 100g independently of fat. Walkers UK lists 0.85g for Oven Baked Sea Salt and 0.89g for Cheese & Onion; Tyrrells lists 0.06g for Naked, alongside 29.5g fat per 100g. | If salt is my main concern, I need to compare its figure directly rather than assume a reduced-fat crisp also has less salt. |
| Portions | Use per-100g figures for comparison, then check the stated serving and pack format against the amount you expect to eat. Tyrrells lists its 150g Naked bag as five 30g servings. | For a regular shop, I want a pack format that works with the portions we intend to serve, whether that is a multipack or a sharing bag. |
| Ingredients | Read the exact flavour’s ingredients, dietary-suitability statements and precautionary allergen wording on the current pack. Do not extend one flavour’s declarations to a whole range. | Everyone eating the crisps needs a flavour that fits their ingredient and allergen requirements, not just a suitable-sounding brand name. |
Walkers UK lists 0.85g salt per 100g for Oven Baked Sea Salt despite its less-fat claim. The claim alone does not describe the product’s salt or the amount you will eat.
Compare fat, saturated fat, salt and calories on the per-100g panel, then look at the figures for your intended portion.
Tyrrells Naked lists 0.06g salt but 29.5g fat per 100g. Walkers UK lists 13g fat per 100g for its two Oven Baked flavours, with higher declared salt than Tyrrells Naked.
Decide which figure matters for this purchase and compare that nutrient across the products first.
A suitability statement for one crisp does not establish the ingredients or allergen wording of another flavour.
Read the ingredient list and allergen statement on each exact pack, particularly when buying several flavours for one household.
A bag can contain several stated servings: Tyrrells describes its 150g Naked bag as five 30g servings. Per-serving figures are less useful if you expect to eat a different amount.
Compare products per 100g first, then use the pack’s serving information to assess your planned portion.
These examples show why a familiar crisp brand is not, by itself, a reduced-fat choice: compare the exact product and flavour.
