Potato and tapioca snacks

Potato and tapioca snacks are processed snack foods made with potato and tapioca starch. The figures describe assorted ready-to-eat types sampled across several brands. They mainly provide carbohydrate and fat: per 100g, they contain 65g of carbohydrate and 25g of fat, including 5.5g of saturated fat. The salt content is 3.4g per 100g.

Carbohydrate and fat supply energy, while fat also helps the body absorb fat-soluble vitamins. The salt and saturated fat content are relevant for people monitoring these in their diet. The amount eaten affects the total intake of energy, fat and salt, and values may vary between products. Full nutrient figures are shown in the tables below.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (20 samples, 3 brands; assorted types e.g. Waffles, Bitza Pizza, Wickettes). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.

These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated. Original source: LGC, Survey of the Nutritional Composition of savoury snacks and nuts, 1993.
