Never sold in supermarkets, The British Crisp Co grows its own potatoes on an Essex farm, then packs its crisps in easy-to-recycle bags (at supermarket bag bins).
The ‘cheese’ and ‘beef’ flavours are vegan (it appears the limited edition Steak & Butcombe Ale is not).
Keep crisps away from pets (due to salt and other ingredients). Read more on food safety for people and pets. Never feed leftover crisps to garden birds or wildfowl due also to salt, but also could choke.
You can recycle these packets in most supermarket bag bins, or check with your council for kerbside recycling options.
Buy online or they sell wholesale to pubs, hotels and coffee shops. The company also recently launched paper bag crisps, which have a tiny layer of aluminium that does not affect the bags being recycled, so can be placed in kerbside waste paper packaging. Walkers Crisps has only launched paper bags for some of their multi-packs.
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.
