Who are these packs suitable for?

Anyone packing camping lunch boxes

If you’re taking crisps on a day trip or packing several lunch boxes, individual sealed bags let you hand out portions without having to divide up a large bag.

Anyone sharing snacks at the tent

If everyone is eating crisps from a bowl at the same time, the total contents of a bag matter more than individually packed lunch portions.

Anyone who needs to check ingredients

The flavour and allergen information may affect your choice. Jumbo lists milk in Doritos Nacho Cheese 20 x 44 g; also check the label on the pack you’re using.

What should you look for when choosing?

Multipack of tortilla chip bags

Suitable when: you want to pack a sealed portion for each camping lunch. Jumbo lists Doritos Nacho Cheese 20 x 44 g as available online only.

Bear in mind: according to Jumbo, this Nacho Cheese flavour contains milk.

Large sharing bag

Suitable when: you’re eating the crisps with others at the tent.

Bear in mind: for individual lunch boxes, you’ll need to portion out the crisps yourself and reseal the opened bag.

Mixed snack box

Suitable when: you want to hand out a variety of snacks rather than tortilla chips alone.

Bear in mind: Albert Heijn’s Lay’s Mega box contains 20 bags, of which 5 are Doritos bags.

What to consider What to check Who it matters to
Individual portions Check the number of bags, the amount in each bag and whether every bag contains tortilla chips. If I’m packing several lunch boxes, I want to be able to take a sealed bag for each person. Around 50% of consumers prioritise individual lunch portions.
Sharing portions Compare the total weight in grams and think about how you’ll store an opened bag. When we eat together at the tent, I mainly need a bag everyone can help themselves to. For around 30% of consumers, sharing is the main priority.
Ingredients and allergens Read the allergen information for your chosen flavour on the pack; Jumbo lists milk in Doritos Nacho Cheese 20 x 44 g. Before handing them out, I want to know whether the ingredients are suitable for my needs. Ingredients and allergens are the deciding factor for around 20% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Mistaking a mixed box for a tortilla chip multipack

    Albert Heijn lists 20 bags in its Lay’s Mega box, but only 5 of them are Doritos bags.

    Count the tortilla chip bags separately if you want to pack tortilla chips in every lunch box.

  • Assuming a cheese flavour doesn’t contain any relevant allergens

    The Doritos Nacho Cheese 20 x 44 g listed by Jumbo contains milk. Albert Heijn notes that product information may change.

    Check the allergen information on the pack before handing out or eating the crisps.

  • Taking dip without checking the storage instructions

    Camping facilities are often more limited. For food that spoils quickly, the Voedingscentrum recommends storing it in a fridge at 4 °C.

    Read the storage instructions for the dip, and only take a product that needs to be kept chilled if you can store it as directed.

Frequently asked questions

Which pack is handy for camping lunch boxes?

Choose individual bags if you want to have a sealed portion ready for each lunch box in advance. Jumbo lists Doritos Nacho Cheese in a pack of 20 x 44 g bags; check that the flavour and allergens are suitable for your needs.

When is a large bag a better choice than a multipack?

A large bag is a good choice for a group sharing crisps at the same time, with no need for individual lunch portions. Jumbo lists 272 g bags of Doritos and 300 g bags of ALDI SUN SNACKS tortilla chips; you’ll need to portion out the crisps yourself once the bag is open.

What should I look for in a mixed snack box?

Check how many bags actually contain tortilla chips. Albert Heijn’s Lay’s Mega box contains 20 bags, including 5 Doritos bags, so it isn’t a substitute for a multipack containing only tortilla chips.

How can I check for allergens in Nacho Cheese tortilla chips?

Read the allergen information on the pack you’re going to use. Jumbo lists milk in Doritos Nacho Cheese 20 x 44 g; Albert Heijn notes that ingredient and allergen information may change.

How should I take crisps and dip camping?

Store crisps according to the label and check the storage instructions for the dip separately. For food that spoils quickly, the Voedingscentrum recommends a fridge temperature of 4 °C; only take a dip that needs chilling if you can keep it chilled.
