About this deal

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. BBQ Pulled Pork– Alas, these do contain pigs in the form of ‘pork powder’; interestingly, this is the only Walkers ‘core’ flavour that is unsuitable for vegetarians One of the oldest and best-loved ridge cut crisps, the following McCoy’s flavours are vegan: Salted, Salt & Malt Vinegar, Paprika, and Hot Mexican Chilli 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. Whether you love it or hate it, there is no doubt that Marmite is something of a wonder food for vegans because it contains much-needed B vitamins that are not present in many vegan foods.

Here are the vegan-friendly flavours in the range: Sun Ripened Sweet Chilli, and Lightly Sea Salted. Deli Flame Grilled Spanish Chorizo With Roasted Onion– One of the few flavours of any Walkers crisps to be unfit for even vegetarians, these contain ‘pork powder’, as well as milk derivatives Loved by kids (and adults) who can’t resist putting a Hoop on each of their fingers before scoffing them, both the Original and the Salt & Vinegar flavours are vegan friendly.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. 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 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). The Deli flavours that are vegan friendly are: Mediterranean Balsamic Vinegar, Roasted Garlic & Mediterranean Herbs (Pita Chips), and Anglesey Sea Salt. Walkers fans have plenty to go on based on the above table of vegan-friendly Walkers crisps (assuming the vegans in question are fine with milk products being handled in the same factory). To be on the safe side, and for those who are interested, here are the main Walkers crisps that are not vegan based on the inclusion of animal-derived ingredients.

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! Another very nice crisp from the Finest range, and again a decent value alternative to some of the branded options. 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.Cheese and onion crisps should not be fed to your dog because they contain certain ingredients that can be harmful to your dog. Each dog's tolerance to eating small amounts of cheese will vary, but it can cause digestive upset depending on your dog. Onion powder is toxic to your dog, so this is always best avoided. Can dogs eat Pringles? 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. What are some alternatives to crisps for dogs? Some time ago supermarkets came to the realisation that creating their own versions of well-loved food products could be a real money spinner. By creating similar (but often slightly less enticing) products, but charging a good deal less than the big name brands, supermarkets gave consumers the choice of prioritising brand or economic value. This is apparent across many different food product ranges, including crisps.

The archetypal crisp against which all others are judged, there have been some weird and wonderful flavours of Walkers Crisps over the years (Cajun Squirrel anyone?), alongside the timeless classics.Utilising paprika extract and tomato powder instead of prawns for the flavour, these are a nice enough option for those seeking the taste of a 1980s dinner party. And, the good news for vegans, as we discuss in our Are Pringles Vegan? article, is that there are a good number of flavours that are fine for those following a plant-based diet. See below for the details. Crisp Name/Flavour ps- Sorry for the long post, it was meant to give you an idea of what things used to be like compared to now and went a bit angry ranty at Walkers at the end. Sorry. Nothing originating from a pig has been put into these Bacon Crispies, and though the taste will not please everyone (or the concept for that matter), they are fine for vegans to consume if they so choose. Smoky Bacon– Dried milk lactose again scuppers the vegan credentials of yet another Walkers flavour that would otherwise be fine

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.Flavoursome and light, these popped chips compare well to others in the genre, especially on price. 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. 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). These parsnip, sweet potato and beetroot crisps are tasty enough though they can make the fingers a little greasy. They are, however, robust enough to dip in hummus without breaking (usually), which is always good.
