Who is this for?

Wants to serve tortilla chips with drinks on the patio and be able to check the organic claim on the packaging or in the product information.

Dips for a small patio gathering

Looking for plain tortilla chips to serve with a range of dips, and choosing a bag size to suit the number of people eating.

Label-conscious snack buyer

Wants to check the ingredients, allergens and nutritional information as well as the organic claim on the bag they choose.

What should you look for when choosing?

Start by checking the organic claim. Then compare bag sizes and check the label for anything that matters to you or your guests.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Organic claim Look for the organic claim and, where applicable, the EU organic logo. If in doubt, check the information on the packaging. If I’m buying them because they’re organic, I don’t want to mistake regular plain chips for organic ones. This check comes first for around 40% of consumers.
Bag size and dips Compare the pack size with the number of people eating, and choose plain chips if you want to serve them with a range of dips. When I’m sharing food with others, I want enough chips for the dips without choosing a bag that doesn’t suit the occasion. This ease of serving matters most to around 30% of consumers.
Allergens and nutritional information Read the current ingredients and allergen information, including any statements about what the product may contain. You can also compare the nutritional values per 100 g. If I need to consider ingredients or allergens, I want to know exactly what’s stated on this particular pack. Checking the label is the top priority for around 30% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming plain means organic

    A neutral flavour or a short ingredients list doesn’t confirm that tortilla chips are organic.

    Check the organic claim on the packaging rather than relying on the flavour description.

  • Confusing organic with allergen-free

    Albert Heijn lists AH Biologisch Tortilla chips naturel as gluten-free, but says they may contain soya. One claim doesn’t replace checking the other label information.

    Read the ingredients and allergen statements on the bag you’re buying, even if you’ve had the product before.

  • Choosing by bag size alone

    A sharing bag may suit a larger group, but the pack size alone won’t tell you how many chips you need for your gathering.

    Choose a bag size to suit your group and the other snacks you’re serving.

  • Assuming organic means a particular nutritional value

    The organic claim doesn’t tell you how much salt, sugar or fat the chips contain.

    To compare these, check the nutritional information per 100 g on the packs you’re considering.

Brands to consider

AH Biologisch, Amaizin and Trafo have organic tortilla chips in the product ranges described here. Doritos and Jumbo are relevant comparisons only if organic isn’t a requirement.

AH Biologisch

Albert Heijn describes AH Biologisch Tortilla chips naturel as salted corn chips in a 150 g bag.

  • The product information mentions the EU organic logo and Skal 001920.
  • Albert Heijn also states that these chips may contain soya. Check the label on the packaging.

Amaizin

Amaizin sells Tortilla Chips Natural in 150 g and 250 g packs.

  • According to Amaizin, the 250 g variant contains organic maize, organic sunflower oil and sea salt.
  • Check the allergen information on the pack of the variant you choose.

Trafo

Trafo has a corn tortilla variant in its crisps range; a retailer listing describes a 200 g pack of Tortilla chips naturel bio.

  • The 200 g pack offers a different size from the 150 g and 250 g variants described here.
  • Check the organic claim, ingredients and allergen information on the pack you choose.

Doritos

Doritos Naturel is a tortilla chip variant to compare if you’re not set on buying organic.

  • Albert Heijn lists ingredients including maize, rapeseed oil and salt for Doritos Naturel.
  • Don’t assume this variant is organic because it’s described as plain. If organic is a requirement, check for an organic claim on the specific product.

Jumbo

Jumbo Tortilla Chips Naturel in a 300 g bag is a larger, conventional tortilla chip variant to compare.

  • Jumbo’s product listing gives a pack size of 300 g.
  • A larger pack doesn’t confirm that a product is organic. If organic is a requirement, check the claims on the specific product.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell if tortilla chips are organic?

Check the organic claim on the current packaging. Skal Biocontrole explains that the EU organic logo is compulsory for prepacked foods produced in the EU and sold as organic. Don’t rely on words such as ‘plain’ alone.

Are organic tortilla chips automatically gluten-free or allergen-free?

No, the organic claim doesn’t tell you that. Albert Heijn lists AH Biologisch Tortilla chips naturel as gluten-free, but also states that the product may contain soya. So read the allergen information on the pack you choose.

What size bag should I choose for drinks on the patio?

Choose the pack size based on the number of people eating and the other snacks on the table. The organic variants described here are available in sizes including 150 g, 200 g and 250 g. These are pack sizes, not fixed portions per person.

How should I store an opened bag of tortilla chips?

Seal the bag tightly after use and follow the storage instructions on the packaging. Albert Heijn advises keeping the packaging of its organic tortilla chips tightly closed after use.
