Tyrrells Mature Cheddar & Chive contains 505 kcal, 28.75g of fat (3g saturated), 57.5g of carbohydrate (1.25g sugar), 4.25g of fibre, 6.25g of protein and 1.63g of salt per 100g.
Tyrrells Mature Cheddar & Chive uses actual dried cheddar rather than processed cheese flavouring. The chive is real dried chive rather than onion-flavoured flavouring. At 1.63g of salt per 100g, a 150g sharing bag delivers 2.45g of salt, 41% of the adult daily limit.
A standard bag (40g) and a sharing bag (150g) contain very different amounts. A standard bag delivers 202 kcal and 0.65g of salt. A sharing bag delivers 758 kcal and 2.44g of salt, 41% 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.

Salt

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
Tyrrells Mature Cheddar & Chive contains 1.25g 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 0.5g of sugar, a negligible contribution to the daily free sugar limit of 30g for adults.
Fibre and protein
Tyrrells Mature Cheddar & Chive contains 4.25g of fibre and 6.25g of protein per 100g. A standard bag (40g) provides 1.7g of fibre (6% of the adult daily target of 30g) and 2.5g of protein.
Ultra-processed food: what is really in it
Tyrrells Mature Cheddar & Chive is made from one main component: potato crisps.
Reading the ingredient list closely, it contains flavourings, yeast extract and colourings. 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. Colourings standardise the appearance of the seasoning across batches, since natural ingredients vary in colour.
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
Potato, sunflower oil, mature cheddar and chive seasoning (dried cheddar cheese, dried chives, salt, yeast extract, onion powder, natural flavourings). No artificial colours, flavours or MSG.
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.
