Careful, Ed--I'm sure you checked, but a lot of Crunchips aren't vegan. There's a blog post from 2018 here (in German):
https://nochsoein.blog/2018/11/27/diese-produkte-der-firma-lorenz-sind-vegan/
The first list in the post is of the only products that are said to be completely vegan by the manufacturer (based on information from their suppliers), and the second list is of those with possible cross-contamination ('made in a factory that handles animal products').
Obviously, this may be out-of-date and products may be renamed for the British market.
There are other German crisp brands that make good crisps, but I think all of them now use whey powder and stuff like that in at least some crisps. No doubt completely vegan manufacturers will have emerged and will keep emerging, but the traditional ones have a decidedly mixed record.

Ooof thanks Oliver, noted. I rarely eat crisps these days and if I’m being honest I’ve been known to play games of chance with the ‘made in a factory which also handles....’ products from time to time. I’m a terrible human :/
99.9% sure the ones pictured didn’t list whey or milk powder in the ingredients which is certainly rare and I wouldn’t have bought them if they did so I presume they fall into the cross-contamination category.....
Will be more diligent in future....

These are the real deal. Available almost everywhere in London corner shops it seems.
