Snack A Jacks only come in around 2-5 syns per packet, making them one of the best low syn snacks you can have on this plan, this means you could have a couple of bags per day and still not exceed your syn allowances per day.

We would recommend having these snacks in moderation as part of your diet and keeping track of how many syns each pack has to stop you from going over your allowance.
As we mentioned above, Snack A Jack syns vary according to the size of the pack and the flavour that you have chosen, meaning you should take care to calculate the syns beforehand.

Syn values are calculated using a formula based on calories, saturated fat and sugar content per serving. They’re not the same as calories — a product can be low in calories but higher in syns if it’s high in sugar or fat. Always check the official Slimming World app for the most accurate and up-to-date syn values.
Yes. When manufacturers reformulate their products, the syn value can go up or down. This is why we recommend double-checking with the Slimming World app or your consultant, especially if a product’s packaging has changed recently.
Most Slimming World members work with 5 to 15 syns per day. Your consultant will advise on the right amount for you. The key is to use your syns on the things you enjoy most — whether that’s a chocolate bar, a glass of wine, or a packet of crisps.
