Every Metcalfe's product in our database broken down by calories, sugar, salt and saturated fat, and checked against NHS daily reference intakes for children aged 4 to 17.
Crisps are a salt and saturated fat product before they are anything else. Sugar is close to irrelevant here. What matters is salt against the 6g adult daily limit, lower still for children, and the saturated fat from the frying oil.
Frying method and oil type drive most of the variation. Ridge-cut and kettle-cooked lines absorb more oil than thin-cut, and flavour coatings add salt on top of the base. Baked and popped variants cut fat but not always salt.
Multipack bags, grab bags and sharing bags differ several-fold in weight, so a per-100g figure tells you very little about what one sitting delivers.
Each product page includes a full nutrition breakdown per serving and per pack, portion size comparisons, age-adjusted NHS daily reference intake calculations for children aged 4 to 17, an interactive calculator for your child's specific age and gender, and a complete ingredient and allergen guide.
