Crinkles only come in two flavours at the time writing. The Simply Salted flavour is vegan, while the Cheese & Onion is not. Are poppadoms crisps? Well, Sainsbury’s think so, and the mini ones they produce are vegan friendly, so that’ll do for us. The name says it all. Nothing overly interesting to say about a fairly plain crisp other than they are decent value. Here are the vegan-friendly flavours in the range: Sun Ripened Sweet Chilli, and Lightly Sea Salted. Those seeking a higher end alternative to standard salt and vinegar crisps will be pleased with these, especially as they are significantly cheaper than the likes of Kettle Chips.

Overall though, at least for the vegans who are prepared to risk the chance of cross-contamination with milk products, there is a vast range of crisp options available. In terms of the supermarket own-brand vegan-friendly crisp options, some fare better than others. 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. 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 The Chilli Heatwave chip ramps up the spice a little but they are by no means tongue-sizzlingly hot, especially if coupled with a mild salsa.Another very nice crisp from the Finest range, and again a decent value alternative to some of the branded options. Both the Lightly Salted and the Sea Salt & Balsamic Vinegar flavoured Veg Chips are fine for vegans.

Honey Glazed Barbecue Sunbites– Honey doesn’t pop up in crisps too often, but it does here, thus making these non-vegan Tesco’s Finest range offers high quality crisp options but with a price tag that is significantly below the likes of Kettle Chips or Tyrells (unless they are on offer). It might be stretching the definition of crisps a little, but if veg can do it, why can’t fruit? A nice alternative to the starch-heavy options in this article.Hurray! No prawns here, and Skips are vegan friendly (subject to the usual cross-contamination risks). Oven Baked Sour Cream & Chive– Contains various milk products, including cream powder and buttermilk 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.
