BNI of generic brands
Potato chips4 are sold under generic brands (eg, a supermarket brand) as well as under proprietary brands, with the latter having a somewhat better standing in regards to perceived quality. Therefore, it is of interest to test whether such characteristic informs about overall nutritional balance (BNI) and, thus, whether it may help choose more balanced products. This article summarises research done in this regards.
Results showed that named brands (BNI 70.49) and generic brands (BNI 69.40) were quite similar, both showing high nutritional unbalance5 and similar nutritional profiles (illustrations 1 to 4).

Methods
Research approach
Exploratory study for comparing the nutritional balance of potato chips4 sold under generic and proprietary brands.
Data
The research sample included 63 potato chip products, including different brands and flavors, collected in a convenient manner (Perezgonzalez, 20122). Of these products, 15 were from generic brands and 48 were from proprietary brands.
Materials & analysis
Relevant data were collated, then assessed using the Balanced Nutrition Index™ (BNI™) technology (see Perezgonzalez, 20111). SPSS-v18 was used for the computation of variables, including BNI and international indexes, and statistical analyses.
