Will the Classic Range ever come in paper?

Tue, 19 May 2026 19:35:09 +0000

That’s the goal. Some of the ingredients in our original Vegan Society recipes – plant-based cheese powder, rice-flour vinegar seasoning – don’t currently keep in paper for long enough; they need foil-laminate barrier protection. We’re working on engineering paper-stable versions of every Classic recipe. Until then, the Classic Range stays in foil so the vegan and allergen-free customers we built…

Why two different recipes?

Tue, 19 May 2026 19:35:05 +0000

Because we wouldn’t compromise on either. When we engineered the paper packet in 2024, we found that some of the Classic Range ingredients (plant-based cheese powder, rice-flour vinegar) need foil-laminate barrier protection to keep – they don’t stay fresh in paper for long enough. So for the Paper Range, we reformulated with shelf-stable real ingredients: real cheddar, real malt vinegar…

What is the difference between the Paper Range and the Classic Range?

Tue, 19 May 2026 19:34:59 +0000

Two genuinely different recipes in two different packets. The Paper Range is our March 2024 launch – the world’s first home-recyclable crisp packet, reformulated with bigger flavours that survive paper-stable shelf life: real mature cheddar in Cheese & Onion, real malt vinegar in Salt & Vinegar, real buttermilk in Sweet Chilli. Most of the Paper Range isn’t vegan or allergen-free as a result.

Who are you?

We’re the British Crisp Co. – a small British snack brand built around British growers, a renewable-energy fryer and one carefully engineered paper-recyclable packet. We started life as The London Crisp Co.; in 2021 we moved production to British farmland and renamed. There are two ranges in the catalogue: the Paper Range (the world’s first home-recyclable crisp packet) and the Classic Range (our…

Why don’t you sell in supermarkets?

Tue, 19 May 2026 16:47:27 +0000

Because we’d rather be in your local. We don’t sell into Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Asda, Morrisons or the like – never have, never will. Both ranges go directly to independent pubs, cafés, sandwich shops, boutique hotels and private members’ clubs. Proper British ��ǻ�� belong at the bar of a good pub, not on a shelf next to the same six labels everyone else uses.

Where are your ��ǻ�� made?

Tue, 19 May 2026 16:47:24 +0000

Every potato is British, grown on UK farmland and hand-cooked here. Our fryer runs entirely on renewable energy, generated on site from organic waste. The bag is printed and filled on the same site. British grown, British made – both ranges.

Which ��ǻ�� are suitable for vegans?

Tue, 19 May 2026 16:47:20 +0000

It depends on the range. Classic Range – the Classic Range and Mixed Case are Vegan Society certified. Paper Range – only Sea Salt is vegan. Cheese & Onion uses real cheddar; Sweet Chilli contains buttermilk and lactose; Salt & Vinegar is vegan but contains gluten (the malt vinegar uses barley). Always check the ingredients panel on the actual pack.

Gluten, dairy or other allergens?

Tue, 19 May 2026 16:47:12 +0000

The Classic Range is formulated to be free from all fourteen major declarable food allergens across every flavour – gluten, milk, nuts, soy, sesame, the lot. It also carries Vegan Society certification. The Paper Range is more variable: • Sea Salt is fully allergen-clean • Salt & Vinegar contains gluten (the malt vinegar uses barley) • Cheese & Onion contains milk (real cheddar) •

Is the Paper Range really the world’s first fully recyclable crisp packet?

BSC — Sun, 23 Feb 2025 10:38:57 +0000

Yes. Launched in March 2024 after years of development and certified by OPRL – the UK’s on-pack recycling labelling authority – to be recycled in the standard paper waste stream, like a cereal box. UK households throw away around eight billion crisp packets a year, almost all of them landfilled or incinerated because traditional plastic-aluminium film can’t be cleanly separated for recycling.
