Each bag is one serving, and the published listing gives a separate ingredients list and nutrition table for every flavour. The pack names Walkers Snack Foods Ltd as the maker.The squaresEvery bag starts with potato granules, sunflower oil and potato starch, made into flat, ridged squares. Potato granules are dried, cooked potato, the same thing as instant mash.Ready SaltedReady Salted adds only maltodextrin and salt: potato granules, sunflower oil, potato starch, maltodextrin and salt are the whole list. It has no flavour enhancer.Cheese and OnionThe cheese and onion flavour lists whey permeate (from milk), salt, sugar, flavouring (containing milk), rice flour, onion powder, citric and malic acid, whey protein (milk), garlic powder, cheese powder (from milk), whey milk powder, annatto bixin and paprika extract for colour, maltodextrin and skimmed milk powder. It has no MSG on its list.Salt and VinegarThe salt and vinegar flavour lists flavouring, citric acid, sugar, monosodium glutamate, disodium guanylate and potassium chloride, with maltodextrin and salt. There is no vinegar on the list; the tang comes from the flavouring and citric acid.Numbers for one bagPer 22g bag, the listing gives Cheese and Onion 97 kcal (404 kJ) and 0.3g of salt; Salt and Vinegar 97 kcal (409 kJ) and 0.48g of salt; and Ready Salted 99 kcal (414 kJ) and 0.33g of salt.Per 100gPer 100g, Cheese and Onion has 439 kcal and 1.38g of salt, Salt and Vinegar 443 kcal and 2.2g, and Ready Salted 449 kcal and 1.48g. Fat is 17.2g for Cheese and Onion, amber, and 18g to 19g for the other two, red; sugars are green for all three. Salt is red for Salt and Vinegar and amber for the other two.Potato starch and maltodextrinPotato starch binds the granules into a dough that holds its square shape, and maltodextrin, a carbohydrate made from starch, carries the seasonings evenly.The cheese and onion bagsThe cheese and onion seasoning is built on dairy: whey permeate leads, with whey protein, whey milk powder, skimmed milk powder and cheese powder, then onion and garlic, with citric and malic acid for the tang.Disodium guanylateDisodium guanylate, in the Salt and Vinegar bags, is a flavour enhancer usually used alongside MSG; together they give a stronger savoury effect than either alone.Salt orderCheese and Onion is the least salty bag, at 1.38g per 100g, then Ready Salted at 1.48g, then Salt and Vinegar at 2.2g.The crunchThe ridges make each square crunch in two stages: the crisp edge first, then the thicker middle.Allergens and dietMilk is in the Cheese and Onion bags, in the whey permeate, flavouring, whey protein, cheese powder, whey milk powder and skimmed milk powder. The allergy advice says the snacks may contain cereals containing gluten and soya. The pack says they are suitable for vegetarians; it is not a vegan pack, because of the milk, and there is no gluten free claim. Recipes and factory arrangements change, so check the allergy advice on the pack you receive.Flavour enhancersOnly the Salt and Vinegar bags use flavour enhancers, monosodium glutamate and disodium guanylate. Ready Salted and Cheese and Onion have none, so they are the bags for anyone who avoids MSG.The colourThe pack says there are no artificial colours. Only the Cheese and Onion bags carry a colour, annatto and paprika extract.SugarsSugars are green in every bag: 1.3g per 100g for Ready Salted, 3.3g for Cheese and Onion and 3.5g for Salt and Vinegar, all green on the front of pack scale.The shapeThe brand describes Squares as potato snacks with angles: flat, ridged squares with crisp edges, sturdy enough to stay whole in a lunchbox.Fibre and proteinFibre is 5.5g to 6.4g per 100g and protein 6.5g to 6.6g across the three flavours, from the potato.Lunchbox rotaThree flavours make it easy to vary a week of lunchboxes: a plain day, a cheesy day and a sharp day.Twelve bagsAt 22g, each bag is one serving, 97 to 99 kcal. Twelve bags cover more than two school weeks of lunchboxes, and the three flavours keep them varied.The packThe red outer bag carries the Walkers logo, the Squares name, a 99 kcal per pack roundel and a 12 label with bands for four salt and vinegar, four ready salted and four cheese and onion, with one small bag of each in the corner.Who it suitsA mixed pack suits a family lunchbox rota. Keep the Cheese and Onion bags away from anyone avoiding milk, and choose Ready Salted or Cheese and Onion for anyone avoiding MSG.Serving ideasPut a bag in a sandwich lunch, or tip one of each flavour into bowls for a party.In the kitchenCrushed, the squares make a crisp crumb for fish or chicken, or a topping for a macaroni cheese.Storage and packagingThe pack advises a cool, dry place.Other SquaresFor a single flavour, we stock Walkers Squares Salt and Vinegar in a six pack and a 40g grab bag.Sizes of Walkers Squares Variety Snacks we stockPackBagsEnergySalt per 100g6 x 22g699 kcal per 22g bag1.48g12 x 22g (this pack)1297 kcal per 22g bag1.38gFigures as published on each pack's label.The tasting notes on this page are our own editorial assessment against the current pack format and the brand's published description. --- _Content available under crisps.biz citation contract.
