Questions about Cheese puffs
How should you store cheese puffs once the bag is open?
Fold the top down tightly or transfer them to an airtight container, then keep them in a cool, dry cupboard. Moisture makes them lose their crunch.
What dips go well with cheese puffs?
Try them with a cool yoghurt-and-chive dip, salsa or a mild tomato dip. Serve the dip alongside rather than pouring it over the puffs, so they stay crisp.
Why do cheese puffs leave orange powder on your fingers?
Their seasoning is a fine powder made from ingredients such as cheese, salt and flavourings; colourings may also be used. The powder clings to the puffs and transfers easily when you handle them.
Are cheese puffs suitable for young children?
Their crunchy, airy texture can still pose a choking risk, especially for children under four. Keep them out of reach of young children, and supervise older children while they eat.
Do cheese puffs contain milk or gluten?
Many contain milk ingredients in the cheese seasoning, and some use wheat-based ingredients, but recipes differ. If you need to avoid either, read the ingredient and allergen information on the packet.
How many cheese puffs should you have as a snack?
A small handful is a practical snack portion; serving it in a bowl makes it easier to avoid eating straight from the bag. Cheese puffs provide 164 kcal per 30 g.
