Paprika Chips Léger -30 % fat

As a lover of these potato chips, I notice that they no longer taste as fine and racy as they used to. In my opinion, significantly less paprika extract is used than before, and they now taste as bland and boring in comparison as those from Zweifel AG, which I don't like at all. Are the Paprika Chips Léger no longer produced by Bina AG, but now by Zweifel-Pomy Chips in Spreitenbach? Or does Bina produce "our" own brand according to the Zweifel-Pomy Chips recipe? In any case, the taste is a clear step backwards compared to before, I assume due to a change in the recipe. I would like to see more of the paprika extract added again.

Thank you for your message. According to the person responsible for the product, there has been an adjustment to additive-free over the last year. You may therefore notice a difference in taste. However, various tastings beforehand proved that the original taste was largely retained. We understand your displeasure, especially when it comes to a frequently consumed product. However, the primary aim of the recipe adjustment was definitely not to add any additives. Best regards, Brigitte

Hello Brigitte. Thanks for the information. Is added paprika considered a (harmful) additive? I really can't imagine that, if that were the case, the food regulations would have intervened long ago. I've also noticed that the typical reddish color of paprika, which used to be much stronger, is much less present today. The next time I go shopping, I'll try adding paprika powder to these potato chips at home, as the slightly greasy consistency of the potato chips means that this should actually work. I don't have a food inspector looking in on me, so I can start this experiment without hesitation. LG BJ

Hello BananaJoe2, thank you very much for your feedback. We use sweet paprika powder and paprika extract in Léger Chips Paprika, which also acts as a colorant. It goes without saying that we do not use any additives that are harmful to health. However, since we removed flavor enhancers in autumn 2019, this can have an effect not only on the taste, but also on the color. However, the quantities of paprika and paprika extract remain the same. As both come from natural raw materials, there may well be differences in color. Kind regards, Richi
