Nutrition by pack size

The table below shows how the nutrition of Ryvita Thins Sweet Chilli changes across pack formats.

Ryvita Thins Sweet Chilli contains 419 kcal, 8.6g of fat (0.95g saturated), 71.4g of carbohydrate (4.76g sugar), 7.14g of fibre, 9.52g of protein and 2.38g of salt per 100g.

Ryvita Thins have the highest fibre content of any product in this guide at 7.14g per 100g, from the wholegrain rye flour base. The salt content (2.38g per 100g) is relatively high, but individual portions are small and a 21g serving contains just 0.5g of salt.

A standard bag (21g) and a sharing bag (125g) contain very different amounts. A standard bag delivers 88 kcal and 0.5g of salt. A sharing bag delivers 524 kcal and 2.98g of salt, 50% 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.

How it compares to daily limits by age group

The table below shows how a standard portion of Ryvita Thins Sweet Chilli compares to daily limits for sugar, salt and protein across age groups.

Salt

Ryvita Thins Sweet Chilli contains 2.38g of salt per 100g. A standard bag (21g) delivers 0.5g of salt, 8% of the adult daily limit of 6g and 17% of the limit for a child aged 4 to 6 (3g). A sharing bag (125g) delivers 2.98g of salt, 50% of the adult daily limit.

At 2.38g of salt per 100g, this is one of the saltier products in this guide. Regular consumption of high-salt foods is associated with raised blood pressure. The NHS recommends adults eat no more than 6g of salt per day; for children the limit is lower.

Saturated fat

Ryvita Thins Sweet Chilli contains 0.95g of saturated fat per 100g, 5% of the adult daily guideline of 20g. A standard bag (21g) delivers 0.2g of saturated fat (1% of the adult guideline). A sharing bag (125g) delivers 1.19g (6% of the adult guideline).

The saturated fat content of 0.95g 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

Ryvita Thins Sweet Chilli contains 4.76g 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 (21g) contains 1g of sugar, a negligible contribution to the daily free sugar limit of 30g for adults.

Fibre and protein

Ryvita Thins Sweet Chilli contains 7.14g of fibre and 9.52g of protein per 100g. A standard bag (21g) provides 1.5g of fibre (5% of the adult daily target of 30g) and 2g of protein.

Ultra-processed food: what is really in it

Ryvita Thins Sweet Chilli is made from one main component: wholegrain rye and wheat thins.

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.
