They are healthier, but they also contain salt, saturated fats and sugar, therefore, they don’t contribute to a healthier diet.

French Fries– While the Ready Salted and Salt & Vinegar flavours do not list any explicitly non-vegan ingredients, the manufacturer suggests they ‘contain milk’, so these (along with the Cheese & Onion and the Worcester Sauce flavours that do contain milk derivatives) are best avoided for peace of mind Unfortunately not. Whilst root vegetable crisps sound healthy and like you are increasing your vegetable intake, you’re not and they are also full of salt and fat. Note that most of the supermarkets mentioned below also sell a good number of the crisp brands mentioned above (though the discount supermarkets such as Aldi and Lidl often have alternatives to the better known brands we’ve featured). Tesco Vegan Crisps Weirdly vegan!Deli Sweet Chilli With Dorset Sour Cream– With sour cream powder from milk, these are no good for vegans Cheese & Onion Squares– Vegan fans of cheese and onion flavour crisps are not doing well when it comes to Walkers… here’s another with milk products With 5 points yours truly retains the lead on 28 points, 3 points for counting moves tarkys_ears into joint 6th and footballdiedin92 enters the fray in joint 11th with his 5 points. Here we’ll present the best vegan-friendly crisps based on the most popular crisps brands in the UK, including the own-brand versions from the main supermarkets.

We’ll go through each of those below and assess their vegan credentials. Marketed as a healthy crisp option due to their reduced fat levels relative to standard crisps, these own-brand popped crisps are nice enough without having anything resembling a wow factor.

None of the Kettle & More flavours are vegan at the time of writing (which should come as no great surprise for the Norfolk Pork Sausage flavour in particular). With a little less salt than the standard Ready Salted crisps, these will appeal to those who care about such things. They taste pretty similar.

The main ingredients in the Doritos that are vegan friendly are corn (maize), vegetable oils and salt. Doritos are also available in the US and Australia and they are made slightly differently from country to country.
