I **** hate Walkers (and by extention Lays), even after all these years - may their senior management of the time burn in Hell. They bought so many companies just to corner the market with their crap tasteless product - its we the consumers who are ultimately the losers. Found in 1899 by William Morrison, initially as an egg and butter stall in a market, Morrisons have since become a little more vegan friendly! Another massive supermarket (the fourth largest in the UK), it is not surprising to see they have a solid number of own-brand crisps, but there aren’t as many vegan-friendly options as some of their rivals offer. Crisp Name/Flavour Inactive - Do very little exercise, going for the occasional walk (moderate pace, low intensity). Spend majority of leisure time doing activities such as watching TV, playing computer games, on the internet, reading, cooking, driving, general household chores.

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. 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. 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. Potatoes, Sunflower Oil, Cheddar & Onion Flavour [Dried Onion, Dried Yeast Extract, Dried Whey ( Milk), Dextrose, Salt, Dried Whole Milk, Dried Cheese ( Milk), Rubbed Parsley, Flavourings (contain Milk), Onion Extract, Colour: Paprika Extract]. Lifestyle / Additives Now the food arm of the John Lewis Partnership, Waitrose & Partners actually began life in 1904 as a small grocery store in Acton, in west London. Opening its first supermarkets in the mid-1950s, Waitrose gained a reputation for high quality produce and one that caters particularly to higher end customers (it even has a royal warrant from the Queen and Prince Charles!).

Typical jobs: hospital/ward nurse, waitressing in a busy restaurant, cleaner, porter, labourer/construction worker, gardener, farm worker. Leisure Activity Level Very similar to Pom Bears, these monkey face-shaped crisps will keep screaming toddlers occupied for at least 30 seconds. 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.

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). The crisp brands sold by them in the UK are: Kettle Chips, Ridge Cut, Veg Chips, Kettle & More. We’ll list the vegan-friendly flavours of each range in the table below.

The Salt & Vinegar Squares and the Ready Salted Squares are vegan friendly. Honey Glazed Barbecue Sunbites– Honey doesn’t pop up in crisps too often, but it does here, thus making these non-vegan Oven Baked Cheese & Onion– Contains various milk derivatives, including dried cheese and whey powder 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.As Walkers are the best-selling crisp brand in the UK (based on the most recent figures in 2019 provided by Nielsen), we have decided to make things simple and also include the crisps they offer that are not vegan. None of the Kettle & More flavours are vegan at the time of writing (which should come as no great surprise for the Norfolk Pork Sausage flavour in particular).

Here are the vegan-friendly flavours in the range: Sun Ripened Sweet Chilli, and Lightly Sea Salted. Cheese & Onion Squares– Vegan fans of cheese and onion flavour crisps are not doing well when it comes to Walkers… here’s another with milk products Salt and vinegar crisps contain very high levels of salt, which can be harmful your pet. Consumed in larger quantities, too much salt can cause sodium poisoning. This can be very serious in dogs, who are able to process salt less efficiently than us humans. Symptoms to look out for include diarrhoea, dehydration, vomiting, lethargy and seizures. Veterinary attention will be required if your dog is suffering from salt poisoning.
