How much unsaturated fat is there in a 25 g packet of crisps?

The amount of unsaturated fats depend on the type of crisps and the brand. Here are few examples of quantity of unsaturated fat in a 25 gm pack of crisps:


  • Walkers Crisps: Total unsaturated fats = 7 gm ( 1 gm polysaturated fats and 6 gm monosaturated fats)

  • Salt and Vinegar/ Cheddar Cheese and Vinegar Crisps: Total unsaturated fats = 7.1 gm ( 1 gm polysaturated fats and 6.1 gm monosaturated fats)

  • Walkers Beef and Onion/ Roast Chicken: Total unsaturated fats = 7 gm ( 1 gm polysaturated fats and 6 gm monosaturated fats)

  • Walkers Salt and Shake- Original crisps: total unsaturated fats = 7.4 gm

  • Walkers Ready Salted: total unsaturated fats = 7.3 gm

  • Snack Factory Pretzel crisps: unsaturated fat ~ 1.5 gm

  • Kettle Brand Potato Chips: unsaturated fats ~ 8 gm

There can be a large number of other options. We can see that Walkers crisps contain about 7 gm of unsaturated fats in a pack of 25 g. There are other options available as well, both with higher and lower fat content.


Hope this helps.
