Sensations Potato Crisps, Thai Sweet Chilli, 12 x 150g

Product Information

Some time ago supermarkets came to the realisation that creating their own versions of well-loved food products could be a real money spinner. By creating similar (but often slightly less enticing) products, but charging a good deal less than the big name brands, supermarkets gave consumers the choice of prioritising brand or economic value. This is apparent across many different food product ranges, including crisps. Overall though, at least for the vegans who are prepared to risk the chance of cross-contamination with milk products, there is a vast range of crisp options available. In terms of the supermarket own-brand vegan-friendly crisp options, some fare better than others. They have a handful of vegan-friendly own-brand crisps, as detailed below. We had hoped for a little more imagination from Waitrose, but they sell so many branded vegan-friendly crisps that their customers will not be left wanting. Crisp Name/Flavour The Chilli Heatwave chip ramps up the spice a little but they are by no means tongue-sizzlingly hot, especially if coupled with a mild salsa.

Smoky Bacon– Dried milk lactose again scuppers the vegan credentials of yet another Walkers flavour that would otherwise be fine A reasonable (cheaper) alternative to Doritos that will suffice for anyone who isn’t a tortilla chip aficionado. Wotsits– It should come as no massive surprise that the famously cheesy Wotsits contain ingredients derived from milk and so are not vegan Hurray! No prawns here, and Skips are vegan friendly (subject to the usual cross-contamination risks).For a basic tortilla chip with good dipping strength and no overpowering flavours, you could do a lot worse than the Lightly Salted Doritos option.

Made by roasting and salting broad beans, if vegetable crisps can be included in this category, then so can these. They are very crunchy and surprisingly tasty too, and with just broad beans, sunflower oil and salt listed as ingredients, they are one of the simplest ‘crisp’ options there is. Tesco’s Finest range offers high quality crisp options but with a price tag that is significantly below the likes of Kettle Chips or Tyrells (unless they are on offer). Potato, Sunflower Oil, Sugar, 𝐁𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐤 Powder, Salt, Tamari 𝐒𝐨𝐲 Sauce Powder (𝐒𝐨𝐲𝐚 Bean, Salt, Spirit Vinegar), Spices (Cayenne Pepper, Coriander Powder, Star Anise Powder), Tomato Powder, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Yeast Extract Powder, Dried Parsley, Red Bell Pepper, Chilli Powder (Chilli, Cumin, Salt, Garlic Powder, Oregano), Acid: Citric Acid; Flavourings, Capsicum Extract, Basil Extract. Nothing originating from a pig has been put into these Bacon Crispies, and though the taste will not please everyone (or the concept for that matter), they are fine for vegans to consume if they so choose.

These parsnip, sweet potato and beetroot crisps are tasty enough though they can make the fingers a little greasy. They are, however, robust enough to dip in hummus without breaking (usually), which is always good. The crisp brands that fall directly under the Walkers umbrella include the following: Walkers Crisps, Walkers Oven Baked, Walkers Max, Walkers Hint of Salt, Walkers Poppables, Walkers Bugles, Walkers Mixups, Walkers Tear ‘n’ Share, Walkers Crinkles, Monster Munch, Wotsits, Quavers, French Fries, Squares, Walkers Delo, Sunbites, and Sensations. We’ll go through each of those below and assess their vegan credentials. One of the better value alternative to KP Skips (which apparently may contain milk or egg based on the potential of cross-contamination), this option from Waitrose will satisfy many crisp fiends who used to love their Skips. Akin to McCoy’s in flavour and texture, these sturdy crisps are perfect for vegans seeking the kind of flavour that is rarely available to people on a plant-based diet.
