BNI™ 070.12f: Potato chips (average)

dietBNI™ 70.12f: Potato chips (average), NZ, 2012.

This is the nutritional value of potato chips. Below is an analysis of the average aggregated nutritional value of a sample of 63 products. The sample was collated as part of a research on the nutritional composition of snacks in New Zealand. This nutritional profile can be summarised as being, mainly, biased towards excess of fat, adequate in sugar, high in saturated fat and sodium, and low in protein, carbohydrate and fiber.

This nutritional value may be more representative of those who change brands and flavors often, as well as of the population, in general. However, it is less representative of the universe of brands on offer and of those consumers who prefer a particular brand and flavor of potato chips, where a prototypical nutritional value may be more relevant (see foodBNI).
