The table above shows the nutritional impact at each pack size so the difference is visible before reaching into the bag.

How it compares to daily limits by age group

The table below shows how a standard portion of Kettle Chips Lightly Salted compares to daily limits for sugar, salt and protein across age groups.

Salt

Kettle Chips Lightly Salted contains 0.6g of salt per 100g. A standard bag (40g) delivers 0.24g of salt, 4% of the adult daily limit of 6g and 8% of the limit for a child aged 4 to 6 (3g). A sharing bag (150g) delivers 0.9g of salt, 15% of the adult daily limit.

At 0.6g of salt per 100g, this is one of the lower-salt options in this guide. Choosing lower-salt snacks makes a meaningful difference to daily intake, particularly for children whose limits are more easily reached.

Saturated fat

Kettle Chips Lightly Salted contains 2.7g of saturated fat per 100g, 14% of the adult daily guideline of 20g. A standard bag (40g) delivers 1.08g of saturated fat (5% of the adult guideline). A sharing bag (150g) delivers 4.05g (20% of the adult guideline).

The saturated fat content of 2.7g per 100g is relatively low for this type of snack. Most crisps fried in sunflower oil contain 2 to 3.5g of saturated fat per 100g.

Sugar

Kettle Chips Lightly Salted contains 1g of sugar per 100g. For most savoury snacks, sugar is a minor component of the seasoning blend rather than a primary ingredient. A standard bag (40g) contains 0.4g of sugar, a negligible contribution to the daily free sugar limit of 30g for adults.

Fibre and protein

Kettle Chips Lightly Salted contains 4g of fibre and 7.7g of protein per 100g. A standard bag (40g) provides 1.6g of fibre (5% of the adult daily target of 30g) and 3.08g of protein.

Ultra-processed food: what is really in it

Kettle Chips Lightly Salted is made from one main component: kettle-cooked potato chips.

A home-made equivalent, prepared in one kitchen from whole ingredients, would use a handful of recognisable components with no additives. These processing aids are used because the brief contact time during industrial frying or baking is insufficient to develop the complex, stable flavours the seasoning provides at scale.

Looking at the ingredient list tells a different story from just the headline numbers. The additives and processing aids give this product its consistent flavour at industrial scale.
