The British Crisp Co (vegan snacks from Essex)
Most of us like munching on crisps (and you can now recycle bags at supermarket bag recycling bins, as crisp packs are one of the most common form of litter).
Crisps are choking hazards for young children, also don’t give leftovers to pets, garden birds or wildfowl, due to salt and garlic. Read more on food safety for people and pets.
Never sold in supermarkets, The British Crisp Co grows its own potatoes on an Essex farm, using renewable energy. And despite the names like ‘cheese’ or ‘beef’, all these crisps are vegan.
The paper bags have a tiny layer of aluminium that does not affect the bags being recycled, so can be placed with paper packaging, if your kerbside recycles. If not, just take to supermarket bag bins to recycle.
All the flavours are (at time of writing) free from major allergens, and are also suitable for gluten-free diets. Never sold in supermarkets, you can find these in independent health and farm shops, or order in bulk online.
There is also a mixed case option, to try all the flavours. This brand gladly also sells to cafes, restaurants, hotels and coffee shops, with wholesale prices.
The vegan flavours (not cheese and onion) are:
- Salt & Vinegar
- Sea Salt
- Sweet Chilli
Although millions of people in England enjoy a bag of crisps, most brands contain way too much salt (‘green light’ recommendations are usually for mini-bags or small portions of bigger bags). Child nutritionists say the best choice is Kettle Unsalted Chips.
