Potato crisps, thick-cut

Thick-cut potato crisps are a ready-to-eat snack made from sliced potatoes. The figures here cover a mixture of plain and flavoured products. They mainly provide carbohydrate and fat: per 100g, they contain 58g of carbohydrate and 28g of fat, including 12g of saturated fat. They also contain 1.3g of salt per 100g.

Carbohydrate and fat both supply energy, while fat also helps the body absorb fat-soluble vitamins. The saturated fat and salt content are worth noting for people monitoring their intake. Values may vary between brands and flavours, so product labels can help when comparing crisps. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (20 samples, 2 brands; mixed plain and flavoured). "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These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated.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.
