Puffed potato products

Puffed potato products are processed, potato-based snack foods eaten straight from the packet. The figures here describe products in assorted flavours. They mainly provide carbohydrate and fat: per 100g, they contain 56g carbohydrate and 33g fat, including 9.7g saturated fat. They also contain 3.7g salt.

Carbohydrate and fat supply energy for the body. Eating too much saturated fat can raise blood cholesterol, while a high salt intake can contribute to raised blood pressure. The salt and saturated fat content are therefore worth noting for people monitoring their intake or comparing snack foods. Full nutritional figures are provided in the tables below.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (20 samples, 3 brands; assorted flavours e.g. Quavers, Snaps, Chinese style crackers). "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These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated.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.
