Potato and corn sticks

Potato and corn sticks are savoury snack foods made from potato and maize. The figures here cover a mixture of plain and flavoured products from several brands. They mainly provide carbohydrate and fat. Per 100g, they contain 60g of carbohydrate, 24g of fat, 6.6g of saturated fat and 2.7g of salt.

Carbohydrate and fat supply energy for the body. Salt and saturated fat are worth noting for people monitoring their intake: eating too much salt can raise blood pressure, while excess saturated fat can raise blood cholesterol. The amounts in individual products may differ, so labels can help when comparing products. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (20 samples, 9 brands; mixed plain and flavoured e.g. chipsticks, crunchy sticks). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.

These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated. Original source: LGC, Survey of the Nutritional Composition of savoury snacks and nuts, 1993.
