Choose individual bags if you want to set out a sealed portion for every child in advance: the Doritos Nacho Cheese 20-pack listed by Albert Heijn and Jumbo contains 20 bags of 44 g. If you’d rather decide how many crisps to put in each bowl, a sharing bag is a better fit. Whichever you choose, check the flavour and allergens on the packaging you buy.
If you want to set out a sealed bag for every child, first count how many children will be having crisps. The Doritos Nacho Cheese 20-pack listed by Albert Heijn and Jumbo contains 20 bags of 44 g; also consider whether a whole bag is right for the occasion.
If you’re serving crisps in bowls or want to offer several flavours, you can decide how much to put out. A 300 g sharing bag, such as the tortilla chips listed by ALDI and Lidl, is different from a pack of individual treat bags.
Ask about any relevant allergies before the party and check the label for the exact flavour. Doritos Nacho Cheese contains milk; the AH Biologisch Tortilla chips naturel product checked states that it may contain soya. So the flavour name alone doesn’t tell you everything.
Choose these: if every child is to have their own sealed portion, including when you’re handing them out between activities or on the go.
Trade-off: with pre-filled bags, it’s harder to adjust the amount for each child.
Choose this: if you’re setting up a snack table and want to decide how many crisps to serve.
Trade-off: you’ll need to portion the crisps yourself while preparing or during the party.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Sealed portions | Count the individual bags and check the weight of each one. The Doritos Nacho Cheese 20-pack listed by Albert Heijn and Jumbo contains 20 bags of 44 g. | If I want to give every child their own bag straight away, I don’t want to have to portion out crisps on the spot. Around 42% of consumers prioritise portions that can be counted in advance. |
| Choosing the amount yourself | Check the size of the sharing bag and decide how many bowls you want to fill; a large bag doesn’t contain pre-portioned individual bags. | When there are different snacks on the table, I want to choose how many crisps to put out. For around 33% of consumers, this flexibility is the top priority. |
| Flavour and allergens | Read the ingredients and allergen information on the exact pack and check with the children’s parents or carers. | If some children can’t or don’t want to eat the same flavour, I want to know which option is suitable before serving. Flavour and allergens come first for around 25% of consumers. |
You can portion out a 300 g bag yourself, but it won’t automatically give every child their own sealed portion. By contrast, the Doritos Nacho Cheese 20-pack listed by Albert Heijn and Jumbo contains 20 individual bags of 44 g.
When buying a multipack, check both the number of bags and the weight of each one. Choose a sharing bag if you want to serve the crisps yourself.
The Doritos Nacho Cheese variant checked contains milk. Plain flavours aren’t necessarily free from allergens either: the AH Biologisch Tortilla chips naturel label states that it may contain soya.
Ask about any relevant allergies and check the current packaging for each flavour before serving. If you’re unsure, don’t give a variant to a child without checking with their parent or carer.
Albert Heijn lists one 44 g bag of Doritos Nacho Cheese as one product portion. That doesn’t tell you how much you want to serve each child at this party.
Decide in advance whether you’ll hand out whole bags or serve smaller amounts in bowls.

Count how many children you want to give their own bag to, and make sure you have at least that many individual bags. The Doritos Nacho Cheese 20-pack listed by Albert Heijn and Jumbo contains 20 bags of 44 g; the total pack weight alone doesn’t tell you how many sealed portions you can hand out.
No, don’t assume they are: the Doritos Nacho Cheese 20-pack checked contains milk. Ask about any relevant allergies and check the allergen information on the packaging for the exact variant you’re serving.
Not necessarily: the AH Biologisch Tortilla chips naturel label states that it may contain soya. ‘Plain’ describes the flavour, not whether it’s suitable for every child, so check the label on the pack you choose.
Seal the bag after use and follow the storage instructions on the packaging. For the AH Biologisch Tortilla chips naturel product checked, Albert Heijn advises closing the packaging securely after use.
