This is the Tangy 'n' Cheesy flavour in the 130g sharing bag, which the label says holds four to five servings. The full product name on the pack is tangy 'n' cheesy 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 tangy 'n' cheesy flavour, potato starch, rice flour, sugar, salt and ground turmeric. The flavour lists dried whey (milk), dried buttermilk (milk), natural flavouring (containing milk), dried yeast extract, salt, dried onion, sugar, rice flour, maltodextrin, potassium chloride, dried garlic, ground cayenne pepper, citric acid and ground white pepper.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.Cheese without cheeseThere is no cheese on the list. The cheesy taste comes from dried whey, dried buttermilk and a natural flavouring that contains milk, with yeast extract for savoury depth.The tangCitric acid and the buttermilk give the tang in the name, and dried onion and garlic the savoury side, so the flavour sits somewhere between cheese and onion and a soured cream dip.A little heatGround cayenne pepper and white pepper give a gentle warmth at the finish. It is a background kick rather than a spicy snack.The colourGround turmeric in the base gives the bright yellow colour. The pack says there are no artificial colours or flavours.No MSGThe pack says no MSG, and none is on the list. 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 2g of salt per 100g and 0.6g for a 30g serving, the most of any Nik Naks we stock.Numbers per servingThe label gives 157 kcal (656 kJ), 9.3g of fat, 0.8g of saturates, 16g of carbohydrate, 2g of sugars, 1.1g of fibre, 1.7g of protein and 0.6g 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 524 kcal (2188 kJ), 31g of fat, 2.7g of saturates, 53g of carbohydrate, 6.6g of sugars, 3.8g of fibre, 5.8g of protein and 2g of salt.Reading the front of the packOn the UK front of pack scale, per 100g, fat at 31g is red.

Recipes and factory arrangements change, so check the allergy advice on the pack you receive.Sunflower oilSunflower oil is the only oil on the list, and the label gives 2.7g of saturates per 100g.The packThe black bag carries a new flash and a great for sharing badge, with the Nik Naks name over the Twisters word and a yellow swirl behind a pile of twisted pieces.Who it suitsA cheesy, tangy corn snack with a light kick suits a film night or a party bowl. It is not suitable for anyone avoiding milk, and anyone watching salt should keep to a small handful.Serving the bagTip a serving into a bowl beside a salsa or a soured cream dip. It goes with a cold lager or a cola.In the kitchenCrushed, the twists make a bright, cheesy crumb for the top of a macaroni cheese or a coating for chicken strips.Four to five servingsThe label says the 130g bag holds four to five servings of 30g. Tip a serving into a bowl rather than eating from the bag.Storage and packagingThe pack advises a cool, dry place and, once opened, an airtight container.
