Best Gluten-Free Chips: Top Brands & Tasty Picks

Best Gluten-Free Chips: Top Brands & Tasty Picks. If like me you’re a huge savoury fan, you’re probably always on the hunt for a bag of gluten free crisps to devour.

I love cakes and bakes, but nothing beats sitting down of an evening with a sharing bag of crisps to myself.

Add a nice dip and you’re basically in heaven! But if you’re new to coeliac disease or a gluten free diet, you might be wondering which crisps are actually gluten free.

There are a lot of crisp brands I used to love pre-coeliac which I now cannot eat, so I’ve been on a mission to find replacements.

What to look out for?

Some flavoured seasonings contain wheat flour to help coat the crisps these products would not be suitable for a gluten free diet. They may also have barley malt extract included flavour, again these would not be suitable for a gluten free diet unless labelled gluten free. Additionally there are crisps where the seasonings do not contain gluten but due to the manufacturing environment there is a risk of cross contamination for example “may contain gluten”. 

We’ve piled together over 600 products that are suitable for a gluten free diet. Look out for the brands of crisps that have the Crossed Grain licence in our Crisps Ready Made List. 

What about crisps not made from Potato?

There are other savoury snacks like crisps that can be made from various flours and starches and made into to all sorts of shapes from cheese puffs, tortillas and monster claws! The flour used for these savoury snacks can be from gluten free flours like maize, quinoa, chickpeas and even potato, but they can also be made from gluten containing flours like wheat, barley, rye and oats. Like the crisps the seasonings can also contain gluten so always check the label. If you need help understanding product information, please visit our labelling page and look out for the handy video guide.

What’s a Gluten Free Diet?

Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye and barley. Many snack foods contain gluten in some form. Wheat proteins are often used in store-bought snacks to thicken or bind ingredients. 

Unfortunately, many people suffer from gluten intolerance, celiac disease and other digestive health problems.  A gluten free diet usually eliminates bread, chips, crackers and other starches, which can be frustrating if you enjoy these snack foods.

Are Chips Gluten Free?

Chips are a staple snack, but unfortunately, most chips and crackers contain wheat products and therefore have gluten, making them inaccessible to those with gluten intolerances or sensitivities. 

For example, if you have ever attended a party, wedding or gathering, you have likely seen a dip platter. They often contain chips, crackers and pieces of bread, which are usually off-limits to those following a gluten free diet. 

With Chef Urbano Gluten Free Chips, you don’t have to miss out on your favourite snacks. 

Are There Benefits to Being Gluten Free?

Eating a gluten free diet may have health benefits, even if you do not suffer from celiac disease. Gluten can cause inflammation in many people, which leads to digestive issues and discomfort. 

Many people notice that their skin clears up after going gluten free. The inflammatory properties of gluten may lead to rashes, bumps and unpleasant textures on your skin. 

Going gluten free can be challenging when you have limited food options. Gluten free snack foods are especially tough to find because most snacks contain wheat products. 

Many foods that contain gluten are highly processed and contain additives. Gluten free chips from Chef Urbano make eating healthier and enjoying your favourite foods easy!

The best gluten free crisp replacements

While there are lots of gluten free options, it’s frustrating when you miss you absolute favourite crisps.

Of course, ingredients do change over time so while these products are gluten free at the time of writing (July 2021) please always double check them.

I’m also aware some products look very similar but only some are gluten free.

Gluten free Monster Munch

Finding these Lidl Monster Claws was probably one of the best discoveries of the last couple of years for me!

I absolutely LOVED Monster Munch – particularly the pickled onion ones – and when I tasted these it took me right back to primary school.

Monster Munch have no gluten in the ingredients but they do have several ‘may contain’ warnings (classic Walkers) so are not suitable for people with coeliac disease.

No I’ve found these Monster Claws I don’t even care, because they taste exactly like the real deal and they’re much cheaper too.

Gluten free Nik Naks

I used to be absolutely obsessed with Nik Naks back in the day, and I swear they used to be gluten free because my early coeliac food diaries contain a lot of them.

But that was 20 odd years ago and now sadly Nik Naks contain gluten.

However, these Well & Truly Crunchies are an absolute Nik Nak dupe – it’s uncanny!

I had forgotten how much I loved Nik Naks until I opened a pack of these Really Cheesey Well & Truly Crunchies and devoured the pack in one sitting.

You can find them in the Tesco free from aisle and they have a few different flavours – the cheese ones are by far my favourite though.
