Martin Lewis criticises 'misleading and unnecessary' major crisp brand packaging
Martin Lewis said the 36g pack lists 148 calories per 30g serving, while the full bag contains 178 calories.
- Consumer champion Martin Lewis criticized Wotsits packaging on Wednesday, calling the nutritional information on the 36g bag "misleading and unnecessary" because it lists calories per 30g serving.
- The pack states 148kcal per 30g serving, yet the full 36g bag contains 178kcal; Lewis questioned this discrepancy, asking, "Who eats 5/6 of a bag?"
- One user posted, "Every container of food should have the total number of calories in it," as consumers demanded calorie counts for entire packages rather than suggested servings.
- Other users questioned whether manufacturers follow existing labeling regulations, with one remarking, "Are they following a regulation where they are in line with it but it's a stupid regulation and they know it."
- Newsquest contacted PepsiCo, which owns Wotsits, for comment. Observers noted manufacturers may resist clearer labeling because "people would limit the amount they eat, which isn't what manufacturers want.
