Best advice is to always check the label.

All oils are naturally composed of a variety of fatty acid types and as a result will include some saturates, but some oil types will have less saturates than others.

Most crisps in the UK (and in Europe) are made with high oleic sunflower oil or else blends of oils which include canola and sunflower. These oils tends to be lower in saturates and higher in mono-unsaturates.

European industry moved away from the use of palm oil from around 2006 onwards. As a result the contribution that crisps make to UK dietary intakes is very low (around 1%).

A standard 25g bag (multipack) will contain about 8.5g fat, but only 0.6g of that will be saturated fat.

In other non-European countries and in a limited number of European products palm oil is still used in blends and has a much higher level of saturated fat.
