Walkers Squares Salt and Vinegar Snacks, 27.5 g (32 Count)

Product Information

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

Now branded as Walkers, though previously a mainstay of Smith’s, the rather novel Salt & Shake concept was particularly popular in the days before parents realised that encouraging kids to put extra salt on their crisps maybe wasn’t a great idea. Still enjoying a small niche market, there is little between these and the Tesco version (other than the price). Another flavour from the Taste the Difference range that is going head-to-head with Tyrells and Kettle Chips, and another that competes very well, all things considered. Both the Lightly Salted and the Sea Salt & Balsamic Vinegar flavoured Veg Chips are fine for vegans. Another very nice crisp from the Finest range, and again a decent value alternative to some of the branded options. Walkers have a huge range of crisps, some with less fat and sodium, as well as a baked range, so if you are watching your syns it might be worth having a look at the rest of their syn values, we've listed there small bag syns down below.Good news, Nik Nak lovers: none of the three main flavours – Nice ‘N’ Spicy, Rib ‘N’ Saucy or Scampi ‘N’ Lemon – contain any animal-derived ingredients and so are fine for vegans. 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. Utilising paprika extract and tomato powder instead of prawns for the flavour, these are a nice enough option for those seeking the taste of a 1980s dinner party. The Sainsbury’s alternative to Doritos are decent value and are nice enough, if a little too prone to breakage in the bag. Whoever designed this flavour clearly understood how to maximise the chances of someone devouring a whole tube in one sitting. Dangerously tasty.

There’s nothing quite like it so I’ve found two crisps with a paprika taste (very rare apparently!!) (1) Tyrrells Smoked Paprika (2) Well & Truly paprika crisps (love these!) With everything you love about the classic chip flavour, this vinegar almonds recipe is surprisingly easy. Sounds perfect, right? These parsnip, sweet potato and beetroots crisps offer a decent alternative to the higher end (and higher priced!) veg crisp options, such as those from Tyrells. 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 Once the almonds are thoroughly soaked, drain them and tip them onto a a large plate, lined with paper towels. Allow the almonds to dry, blotting any excess liquid.This will be of concern to some vegans, but more so to people with severe milk allergies. Many vegans, however, will judge Doritos and other products by the ingredients they contain, and on that front, there are some Doritos flavours that qualify as vegan friendly. See below to find out which ones. Crisp Name/Flavour Loads of supermarket own brand regular crisps taste pretty similar (3) Seabrooks are a bigger brand that are also gluten free (2) If you want the real deal you need to get yourself from “Lays” from abroad – the European brand name for Walkers and comes with no may contain warning

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. Let’s first run through the brands we’re covering, then we’ll go into a lot more detail for each. Some people love ready salted crisps, in all their banal blandness. The Tesco own-brand version does what’s expected of them and are good value. So it stands to reason that these Marmite-flavoured crisps from Walkers are also vegan (cross-contamination risk aside), and also very tasty (if you are a lover, of course!). These are so good we thought they deserved their own entry in the table. Once all your popcorn is ready melt some butter and whisk it with your vinegar and drizzle it all over the popcorn slowly and evenly!Look for supermarkets own brand “Cheese Puffs” in the normal aisle. Most are gluten free including the brands below… A class above the standard Walkers crisps, these have a premium feel to them, with fancy flavours to match. Careful with this one – lots of supermarket own brands were a main contain and the other flavours at Tesco contained barley.

Constantly battling it out with Sainsbury’s to be the UK’s second biggest supermarket (behind Tesco), Asda began life in Leeds in 1949. Despite their size, Asda lag behind some of the other supermarkets when it comes to own-brand products, and especially vegan-friendly crisp options. Crisp Name/Flavour Oven Baked Sour Cream & Chive– Contains various milk products, including cream powder and buttermilk Corona – I’m told Corona light might be gluten free but haven’t found it myself yet so can’t confirm! A superior crisp to the lightly salted version, the cider vinegar gives these a bit of bite and they compare well to the higher end versions, such as Kettle Chips.Lighter and with less fat than the conventional Walkers crisps, the Oven Baked range take some getting used to for crisp fiends, but they are worth the effort. A cheaper and less robust alternative to Doritos, these are fine as party or barbecue fodder but they tend to snap too readily when used to scoop up salsa. So when I got the change to take a peek at the new Party Popcorn Book from Ashton over at Something Swanky I was SUPER excited to see that she created a recipe for Salt and Vinegar Popcorn. The girl knows what’s up. The Deli flavours that are vegan friendly are: Mediterranean Balsamic Vinegar, Roasted Garlic & Mediterranean Herbs (Pita Chips), and Anglesey Sea Salt.
