If you want to choose tortilla chips for camping based on lower fat content, compare the same type of product per 100 g and check the salt and allergen information too. According to product information from Albert Heijn and Jumbo, the plain Doritos and AH varieties reviewed each contain 20 g of fat per 100 g, compared with 22,2 g for Jumbo. This doesn’t automatically make any of these products suitable for every dietary requirement. Also choose a pack size you can finish, or one you can seal securely after opening.
If fat content is your main concern, compare plain tortilla chips by their nutritional values per 100 g rather than by pack size. Product information from Albert Heijn and Jumbo shows why it’s important to compare like with like.
Salt levels and allergen information can vary even when the fat content is the same. Always check the current packaging, especially if a particular ingredient or its possible presence matters to your choice.
If you won’t finish the chips in one go, pack size and how well the bag can be sealed after opening matter too. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises storing crisps in a cool, dry, dark place in a tightly sealed container.
Start with fat per 100 g if that’s your main criterion. Then check the salt and allergen information on the same pack, and think about how much of the opened bag you can store while camping.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Fat per 100 g | Compare the fat content per 100 g on packs of the same type of tortilla chips. Also think about how much you plan to eat. | I mainly want to choose based on fat content without being influenced by different pack sizes. Around 42% of consumers prioritise this comparison. |
| Salt and allergens | Check the salt per 100 g, ingredients and allergen information on the current packaging. | If salt or the possible presence of allergens is a deciding factor for me, comparing fat alone isn’t enough. Around 25% of consumers prioritise checking this information on the label. |
| Pack size and storage | Check the net weight, the condition of the bag and the best-before date. Make sure you can seal an opened bag securely and store it somewhere dry. | I eat the chips over the course of the camping trip and want to stop any leftovers going stale. Around 33% of consumers put practical storage first. |
A shop category doesn’t tell you how much fat is in a specific bag of tortilla chips. It may also include other types of crisps.
Check the nutritional information per 100 g on the pack and compare similar products, such as plain with plain.
According to product information from Albert Heijn, the AH and Doritos plain varieties reviewed both contain 20 g of fat per 100 g, but their salt levels and allergen information differ.
As well as the fat content, check the salt, ingredients and possible allergens on the current packaging.
Chips can lose their crunch after opening if the bag isn’t sealed properly and stored somewhere dry. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre’s storage guide recommends keeping opened crisps in a kitchen cupboard for 2 to 5 days.
Choose a pack size that suits your group and seal the bag securely after use. Store it somewhere cool, dry and dark.

That can’t be concluded from this comparison. Albert Heijn lists 20 g of fat per 100 g for both AH Tortilla chips naturel and Doritos Naturel; Jumbo lists 22,2 g per 100 g for Jumbo Tortilla Naturel. These values help you compare the three products, but they don’t in themselves confirm a ‘low fat’ claim.
Doritos Naturel has the lowest listed salt content in this limited comparison: 0,71 g per 100 g according to Albert Heijn. AH Tortilla chips naturel and Jumbo Tortilla Naturel each list 0,9 g per 100 g in their product information. Check the current packaging before you buy.
Seal the bag securely and store the chips somewhere cool, dry and dark. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre’s storage guide recommends keeping opened crisps in a kitchen cupboard for 2 to 5 days; choose a pack size that suits this.
Check the nutritional information per 100 g and allergen information for the specific flavour on the packaging. This lets you assess the Lidl Sweet Paprika variety or an ALDI SUN SNACKS variety without applying the fat content or allergen statement for a different flavour.
