Product Information

Verdict: Bad news for fans of the humble corn chip - Doritos are the classic crisps to share with mates but with over 200 calories for a 48g grab bag they are notably high in calories and fat. They also have high sodium levels - again, one best left on the supermarket shelf.

Allergy Advice Considering Walkers is the cult classic, I decided to see whether the big name really carried its weight when it came to the quality of the actual crisps and pit them against the standard potato crisps from Aldi and Lidl.

I also liked the fact that they felt the least oily in my hand and also tasted the least oily. Verdict: Despite being baked not fried and containing no artificial colours of flavours, Mini Cheddars have the second highest saturated fat content after Pringles (must be all that delicious cheese). They also have a high fat content considering the calories are relatively low, so approach with caution.Strong winds and heavy rain are on the way to the UK, as Storm Ciaran approaches. We share where it's expected to hit. Verdict: These deliciously 'posh' crisps are great when in need of a nibble, but they're pretty high in calories. They also contain 8.4g of fat per serving, though the amount of sat fat in these Kettle Chips is brilliantly low. My favourite of the three cheese and onion crisps, this had the most mild flavour. It didn't taste like there was some sort of flavouring powder coating the crisp like I know others can so again, it was the easiest to eat Aldi's version of this flavour.

Asthma Res Pract. 2016;2:13. doi:10.1186/s40733-016-0028-4 Despite having no artificial colours and flavours, these crisps are still relatively high in fat in comparison to it’s calories," notes Roxane. "They contain 12% 'real' cheese which suggests that they contain protein to help maintain muscle mass and keep cravings at bay.” The beauty of Quavers is that they're light, so a bag feels generous and you're still not eating a massive quantity of them. If your tastebuds are apparently sensitive like mine, you're definitely better off saving your money and buying the Aldi version.

They weren't bad, but Lidl's crisps definitely weren't Snaktastic like the name suggests (Image: SussexLive)

Verdict: Walkers Squares have very low amounts of sat fat and are relatively low in calories, but they still have 4g of fat per bag, so don't go consuming on a daily basis...Al-Mana NM, Robertson MD.

White potatoes, human health, and dietary guidance. Adv Nutr. 2013;4(3):393S-401S. doi:10.3945/an.112.003525 Verdict: Dissecting our healthy crisps list, Hula Hoops are low in sat fats and their calorie count is passable. But it's their fat content (5.8g) which is proportionately high for a small 24g bag. They are however made with no artificial flavours or colours and contain no MSG - an added bonus. Potato Granules, Potato Starch, Sunflower Oil, Salt, Flavour Enhancer (Monosodium Glutamate), Colour (Annatto Norbixin) Verdict: Popchips are brilliantly low in saturated fats - a winning mark in our books! And with 95 calories per bag, they rate pretty highly in our healthy crisps round up too. Roxane says these crisps are 'popped' rather than fried which makes them a more nutritious option compared to other leading crisp brands.

Verdict: Sadly, Pringles rate the worst overall in our healthy crisps list. “A 30g serving equates to around just 13 crisps, containing nearly 10g of fat and just less than 1g of both salt and sugar," says Roxane. The dietitian adds:“Although these are identified as crisps, they actually contain 42% potato, leaving the rest up to wheat starch, sunflower oil, maize oil and rice flour." Our days of popping Pringles might very well be behind us, or at least best enjoyed on extra rare occasions. Verdict: The baked versions of Walkers crisps are far lower in fat and calories than the originals. If you're consciously counting the calories, we recommend swapping regular Walkers for their baked variety as they promise the same flavour but with better nutritional values.

Verdict: Another cheesy favourite. “At just 82 calories per 16.5g bag, these crisps are certainly a good low-calorie option if you’re treating yourself to crisps," says dietitian Roxane Bakker. Wotsits are baked and not fried, which helps to keep them under 100 calories. Though their saturated fat and sugar values make these a sub-par choice.I actually don't want to admit this because I'm worried it says more about me but Aldi won in my eyes - purely because the flavours of the crisps were the most mild. Three brands, three classic flavours. Does the brand name really live up to the hype? (Image: SussexLive) In all honesty, when it comes to crisps in these universal flavour I prefer them with a more distinct shape - think Pom Bears, French Fries, Squares.
