Hosts who are thinking about lunchboxes too
Want to hand out bags at your get-together and save any unopened portions for later? A multipack could be just the thing. Albert Heijn lists a Doritos Nacho Cheese 20-pack containing 20 bags of 44 g each.
Which pack is right for you?
Hosts serving a bowl with dip
If you’re serving the chips in a central bowl with salsa, guacamole or another dip, you can decide how much to put out. Albert Heijn lists its plain tortilla chips in a 200 g bag.
Shoppers with questions about ingredients
Ingredients and allergen information can vary between flavours. Keep the packaging handy at your get-together so guests can check the details for the product being served.
What should you consider when choosing?
First, decide whether you’ll hand out individual bags or serve the chips in bowls. Then consider the flavour and the information on the packaging.
Individual bags
Choose these: if guests will each take a bag, or if you want to save unopened bags for lunchboxes.
Bear in mind: there’s more individual packaging; the Doritos Nacho Cheese 20-pack also contains milk.
Large sharing bag
Choose this: if you’re serving tortilla chips with dip in a sharing bowl.
Bear in mind: you’ll need to portion the chips yourself and reseal the bag properly once opened; there won’t be any individually wrapped portions left for later.
| What to consider | Check | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Handing out and taking along | The number of bags and the amount in each one; the Doritos Nacho Cheese 20-pack listed by Albert Heijn contains 20 bags of 44 g each. | If I want to give everyone their own bag, I want to be able to keep the remaining portions unopened. Around 44% of consumers prioritise individual portions. |
| Chips for a sharing bowl | The amount in each bag and how much you want to serve in bowls. Albert Heijn lists a 200 g bag of plain chips; Lidl and ALDI list 300 g bags of tortilla chips. | When serving chips with dip, I want to help myself without having to use pre-portioned bags. For around 33% of consumers, sharing from a bowl matters most. |
| Flavour and ingredients | The ingredients, allergens and nutritional information on the current packaging for your chosen flavour. | When guests have different flavour preferences or questions about ingredients, I want to know exactly what’s being served. Ingredients and flavour are the main concern for around 23% of consumers. |
Common mistakes
-
Assuming all multipack crisps are tortilla chips
ALDI lists Sun Snacks multipack bags of 15 × 25 g containing plain and paprika crisps, but doesn’t describe them as tortilla chips. So individual bags won’t necessarily meet your requirements.
Check the product type, number of bags and amount per bag before choosing a multipack.
-
Serving one flavour to everyone without checking the label
According to Albert Heijn’s product information, the Doritos Nacho Cheese 20-pack contains milk. Ingredients can also vary between flavours.
Keep the packaging by the bowl and check the current allergen information for each flavour before serving.

Frequently asked questions
When should I choose individual bags instead of a large bag of tortilla chips?
Choose individual bags if guests will help themselves or if you want to save unopened bags for later. If you’re mainly serving bowls of dip, a large bag lets you portion the chips yourself.
Does the Doritos Nacho Cheese 20-pack contain milk?
Yes. According to Albert Heijn’s product information, this flavour contains milk. Check the packaging of the product you’re actually serving, as ingredient information can change.
How can guests check the allergens in the crisps being served?
Keep the original packaging by the snacks so guests can check the ingredients and allergens for each flavour. If you’re serving the crisps in bowls, make it clear which packaging goes with each bowl.
Is a ‘gluten-free’ claim on a product page enough?
Check the current packaging of the product you’re serving too. Albert Heijn describes its plain tortilla chips as gluten-free online, but also says that the same flavour may contain soya. So check all the information that’s relevant to your guests.
How should I store an opened bag of AH plain tortilla chips?
Seal the pack tightly after use and store it in a cool, dry place, as Albert Heijn recommends for this plain flavour. Unopened individual bags don’t need to be resealed.
