Tyrrells Lightly Sea Salted uses Maldon sea salt applied more sparingly than the standard Sea Salt, giving 0.5g of salt per 100g, the lowest salt of any seasoned Tyrrells potato crisp. Winner of the 2012 Great Taste Award Gold. Vegan-friendly and gluten-free.
A standard bag (40g) and a sharing bag (150g) contain very different amounts. A standard bag delivers 200 kcal and 0.2g of salt. A sharing bag delivers 752 kcal and 0.75g of salt, 13% 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.

Based on standard portion. Sugar and salt % vs NHS/SACN daily limits. Red = 75%+ of limit, amber = 20-74%, green = under 20%.
Salt
Tyrrells Lightly Sea Salted contains 0.5g of salt per 100g. A standard bag (40g) delivers 0.2g of salt, 3% of the adult daily limit of 6g and 7% of the limit for a child aged 4 to 6 (3g). A sharing bag (150g) delivers 0.75g of salt, 13% of the adult daily limit.
At 0.5g 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
Tyrrells Lightly Sea Salted contains 2.5g of saturated fat per 100g, 13% of the adult daily guideline of 20g. A standard bag (40g) delivers 1g of saturated fat (5% of the adult guideline). A sharing bag (150g) delivers 3.75g (19% of the adult guideline).
The saturated fat content of 2.5g 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
Tyrrells Lightly Sea Salted 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
Tyrrells Lightly Sea Salted contains 5.3g of fibre and 5.9g of protein per 100g. A standard bag (40g) provides 2.12g of fibre (7% of the adult daily target of 30g) and 2.36g of protein.
Ultra-processed food: what is really in it
Tyrrells Lightly Sea Salted is made from one main component: potato crisps.
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.
Potato crisps
Potatoes, Sunflower Oil, Sea Salt (Maldon Sea Salt). Uses Maldon sea salt applied even more lightly than the standard Sea Salt variant. Jackets left on. Hand-cooked in small batches.
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)
Tyrrells Lightly Sea Salted 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. 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.
