This is the Nice 'n' Spicy flavour in the 130g sharing bag, which the label says holds four to five servings. The full product name on the pack is Nice 'n' Spicy flavour corn snack, and the pack gives a freepost address for KP Snacks.The ingredientsAccording to the published pack listing, the snacks are made from corn flour, sunflower oil, a Nice 'n' Spicy flavour, potato starch, rice flour, sugar, salt and ground turmeric. The flavour lists natural flavouring (containing garlic), sugar, rice flour, citric acid, maltodextrin, dried yeast extract, salt, potassium chloride, dried onion, ground cayenne pepper, ground spices (cardamom, clove, fenugreek, ginger, mace, black pepper, nutmeg, cumin, fennel and cinnamon), ground turmeric, ground allspice and ground coriander seed.A different recipe from the classicTwisters Nice 'n' Spicy is not the classic Nik Naks recipe in a new shape. The classic sticks take their tang from barley malt vinegar and their depth from soya sauce; the Twisters seasoning names its spices one by one, with citric acid for the tang, and has no barley, wheat or soya on the list.The spicesThe list reads like a curry blend: cumin, coriander seed, fenugreek and turmeric for the curry base, cardamom, clove, cinnamon, nutmeg, mace and allspice for warm sweetness, fennel for an aniseed note, and ginger, black pepper and cayenne for heat.How hot is itGround cayenne pepper is the only chilli, with black pepper and ginger beside it. Expect a warm, building spice rather than a burn.The twistThe pack invites you to give these a whirl: each piece is a twisted spiral, with ridges that hold the seasoning. The base is corn flour with potato starch and rice flour, so the texture is lighter than a classic knobbly Nik Nak.The colourGround turmeric appears twice, in the base and in the seasoning, and gives the orange yellow colour. The pack says there are no artificial colours or flavours.No MSGThe pack says no MSG, and none is on the list. Dried yeast extract is naturally rich in glutamates, worth knowing for anyone who avoids them altogether.Potassium chloride and the salt figurePotassium chloride sits in the flavour beside salt. It tastes salty but contains no sodium, and the salt figure on a UK label is worked out from sodium. The label gives 1.9g of salt per 100g and 0.57g for a 30g serving.Numbers per servingThe listing gives 158 kcal (661 kJ), 9.3g of fat, 0.8g of saturates, 16g of carbohydrate, 1.7g of sugars, 1.2g of fibre, 1.5g of protein and 0.57g of salt for each 30g serving. That is about 8% of an average adult's daily energy reference intake, 13% of the fat and 10% of the salt. Per 100g it is 528 kcal (2202 kJ), 31g of fat, 2.7g of saturates, 53g of carbohydrate, 5.6g of sugars, 3.9g of fibre, 5.1g of protein and 1.9g of salt.Reading the front of the packOn the UK front of pack scale, per 100g, fat at 31g is red. Saturates at 2.7g are amber. Sugars at 5.6g are amber, just over the 5g line. Salt at 1.9g is red.Allergens and dietNo allergens from the UK list of 14 are highlighted in the published ingredients.
