Healthy Recipe Ideas
Crispz Chaat Salad
Gently crush a handful of Lay's Crispz. Mix with chopped onions, tomatoes, and boiled chickpeas. Drizzle with a mix of tamarind chutney and mint-coriander chutney. Garnish with fresh coriander.
Health Benefits
Adds fresh vegetables and protein-rich chickpeas to balance the processed snack, increasing fiber and vitamin content.
Crispz Raita Dip
Whisk thick yogurt (dahi) until smooth. Add finely chopped cucumber, onion, and a pinch of chaat masala. Use the Crispz as a dipper instead of mixing them in to maintain their crunch. Serve immediately.
Health Benefits
Pairing the chips with a probiotic-rich yogurt dip adds calcium and protein, making it a more balanced snack.

Marketing Claims
The claim 'Potato Based Snack' is technically true but potentially misleading as potato flakes constitute only 14.5% of the product, which is less than the edible starch content (18%). Consumers may incorrectly assume potato is the primary ingredient. The 'Herb & Onion' flavour is derived from powders and added flavouring substances, not fresh ingredients.
