Kettle Vegan Sheese & Red Onion is the plant-based alternative to Mature Cheddar & Red Onion, using Sheese (a coconut-oil-based dairy-free cheese alternative) for the cheese flavour. Despite the may-contain milk declaration from shared production lines, the ingredient list is entirely dairy-free. At 8.0g of protein per 100g it has the joint-highest protein in the range.
A standard bag (40g) and a sharing bag (150g) contain very different amounts. A standard bag delivers 206 kcal and 0.5g of salt. A sharing bag delivers 771 kcal and 1.88g of salt, 31% of the adult daily limit, from a single product.
This matters because crisps are one of the easiest snacks to eat passively. Opening a sharing bag while watching television, or finishing a grab bag that was opened for a small snack, is common. The table above shows the nutritional impact at each pack size so the difference is visible before reaching into the bag.

The saturated fat content of 3g per 100g is moderate for this type of snack. Most crisps fried in sunflower oil contain 2 to 3.5g of saturated fat per 100g.
Sugar
Kettle Chips Vegan Sheese & Red Onion contains 2g 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 0.8g of sugar, a negligible contribution to the daily free sugar limit of 30g for adults.
Fibre and protein
Kettle Chips Vegan Sheese & Red Onion contains 4g of fibre and 8g of protein per 100g. A standard bag (40g) provides 1.6g of fibre (5% of the adult daily target of 30g) and 3.2g of protein.
Ultra-processed food: what is really in it
Kettle Chips Vegan Sheese & Red Onion is made from one main component: kettle-cooked potato chips.
Reading the ingredient list closely, it contains flavourings and yeast extract. Flavourings create or enhance the taste of the product, often replacing or supplementing natural flavour sources to deliver a consistent result across batches. Yeast extract adds savoury depth and amplifies perceived saltiness without adding extra salt, a technique known as flavour enhancement.
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.
Kettle-cooked potato chips
Select Potatoes, Sunflower Oil, Vegan Sheese and Red Onion Seasoning (Vegan Sheese Powder (Coconut Oil, Tapioca Starch, Sea Salt, Flavouring), Dried Red Onion, Sea Salt, Yeast Extract, Natural Flavouring). Sheese is a plant-based cheese alternative made from coconut oil.
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.
Processing (NOVA classification)
Kettle Chips Vegan Sheese & Red Onion falls into NOVA group 4, ultra-processed food. The NOVA classification system groups foods by the extent and purpose of the processing involved. Group 4 covers products formulated from substances derived from foods plus additives, with little or no whole food recognisable in the final product. In this item that includes flavourings and yeast extract. This classification applies to almost all commercially produced flavoured crisps and snacks, regardless of whether they are marketed as baked, hand-cooked, natural or healthier.
