The Good Shopping Guide suggests that all brands begin introducing more ethical and sustainable practices, following in the footsteps of our top-rated brands.

What does Popchips receive a top rating for?

Popchips receives a top rating for Environmental Report, as its parent company, Intersnack, has a comprehensive Sustainability Report with detailed targets and environmental commitments.

Additionally, due to a lack of negative records in these areas, Popchips receives a top rating for Nuclear Power, Fossil Fuels and Armaments.

What does Popchips receive a bottom rating for?

Unfortunately, Popchips has not received any organic certification. As a result, it receives a bottom rating in The Good Shopping Guide’s Organic category.

Popchips also has a bottom rating for the Vegetarian/vegan category, as it does not have any certified products.

What can Popchips do to improve its score? 

The ethical rating of a brand is divided into three categories by The Good Shopping Guide: the Environment, Animals and People. Find out more about how we rate.

We encourage Popchips to improve its record in all areas where it receives either a middle or bottom rating. For instance, we recommend that Popchips includes organic and vegetarian/vegan crisps within its product range.
