Available at the time of writing in two flavours (Beetroot with Sweet Chilli Jam, or Sweet Potato with Paprika), these have significantly less fat than other options in the veg crisp niche (for example, the Beetroot and Sweet Chilli Jam crisps have 14g of fat per 100g, compared to around 32g of fat per 100g of the Tyrells Mixed Root Vegetable Crisps. These aren’t quite as nice though!

Perhaps surprisingly vegan, any former omnivores who crave a bacon fix might choose these (though how close the taste is to real bacon, we really can’t remember!) 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.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. 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. 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.

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. Hurray! No prawns here, and Skips are vegan friendly (subject to the usual cross-contamination risks). Note that at the time of writing all crisps from Walkers are made in factories that handle milk, which could be a problem for some vegans, and certainly for anyone with a severe milk allergy. Crisp Name/Flavour Very similar to Pom Bears, these monkey face-shaped crisps will keep screaming toddlers occupied for at least 30 seconds.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. 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.
