Common questions are answered in the Product Questions tab. ## Description Quavers are the light, curly potato snack from Walkers: a puffed curl of potato starch with a cheese coating that melts as you bite. This is the 34g grab bag, a bigger single bag than the 16g multipack bags, which the listing says is one serving. The full product name on the pack is cheese flavour potato snack, and the pack names Walkers Snack Foods Ltd as the maker.The ingredientsAccording to the published pack listing, the snacks are made from potato starch, sunflower oil, a cheese flavour (whey powder from milk, flavouring containing milk, flavour enhancers monosodium glutamate and disodium 5'-ribonucleotide, milk powder, cheese powder from milk, potassium chloride, garlic powder, lactic acid and paprika extract), rice flour, soya flour, salt, yeast, onion powder (malt flour from barley), pepper, wheat flour (fortified with calcium, iron, niacin and thiamin) and annatto norbixin for colour.Potato, but not a crispQuavers are made from potato starch, not sliced potato. The starch is blended with rice, soya and wheat flours, then puffed into the light, curled shape, which is why the pack calls them a light, curly potato snack.Rice and soya flourRice flour and soya flour join the potato starch in the curl, and the soya flour is why soya is highlighted.Sunflower oilSunflower oil is the only oil on the list, and the label gives 2.7g of saturates per 100g.Melt in the mouthA Quaver is mostly air. It crunches for a moment and then melts on the tongue, a very different bite from a crisp.The cheeseWhey powder leads the cheese flavour, with milk powder, cheese powder and a milk flavouring, and lactic acid gives the tang of a mature cheese. Garlic powder and onion add savoury depth.MSGThe flavour enhancers are monosodium glutamate and disodium 5'-ribonucleotide, and yeast adds more savoury depth, so these are not for anyone who avoids MSG.The colourThe orange colour comes from paprika extract and annatto norbixin, the colour that gives Red Leicester cheese its shade. The pack says there are no artificial colours or preservatives.Potassium chloride and the salt figurePotassium chloride sits in the seasoning beside salt. It tastes salty but contains no sodium, and the salt figure on a UK label is worked out from sodium, which is how Quavers can taste so salty at 2.14g of salt per 100g.SaltAt 2.14g of salt per 100g, Quavers are among the saltiest snacks we stock, red on the front of pack scale. The whole 34g bag works out at about 0.7g of salt.Numbers for the bagPer 100g the label gives 536 kcal (2245 kJ), 30.8g of fat, 2.7g of saturates, 62.1g of carbohydrate, 2.7g of sugars, 1.2g of fibre, 2.5g of protein and 2.14g of salt.
