Faqs

Most of our potatoes are sourced locally from Co. Meath and Co. Dublin potato growers. Saturna, Lady Clare and Rosetta are the varieties predominantly used.

Savoury snacks are made from natural raw ingredients such as potatoes, grains (e.g. wheat, maize), starch and vegetable oils.

All savoury snack products contain vital nutrients (carbohydrate, fats, proteins), micronutrients in the form of minerals, vitamins and fibre and offer a quick and convenient source of energy.

A 25g packet is the most commonly consumed pack size in Ireland.

According to IUNA (Irish Universities Nutrition Alliance) the average Irish child consumes about 13 grams of savoury snacks per day. That’s equivalent to half a 25g pack of savoury snacks per day, or 3 packs per week. The average Irish adult consumes less than 2 packs per week.

About 12 minutes from peeling the potato to putting the crisps into the packet.

All of Largo Foods crisps are cooked in sunflower oil. Sunflower oil is a key contributor of vitamin E.

Sunflower oil is light in taste, contains more Vitamin E than any other vegetable oil and is high in polyunsaturated and low in saturated fat.

All of our packaging clearly states specific allergen information for the 12 allergens which are under legislation.

An average 25 gram pack of potato crisps provides approximately 125 to 150 calories.

Largo Foods have significantly reduced the salt levels across our crisps and snack products. In addition, all new products are developed with the goal of decreasing salt levels with no taste compromise.

Sodium and salt are not the same. Sodium is a key component of salt, which has been used traditionally to preserve and flavour food products.
