Hosts catering for different tastes
You might want to serve sweet chilli alongside nacho cheese or a sour cream option, so not everyone has to eat the same flavour.
Who are these choices relevant to?
Shoppers who check labels
Before buying, you want to check which ingredients, allergens and ‘may contain’ warnings are relevant to your guests. Check the packaging of the exact variant you’re considering.
Friday afternoon get-together planners
Choose the bag size based on how many people are sharing and what else you’re serving. Smaller bags let you offer a few flavours without opening a large bag of each.
What should you look for when choosing?
Decide which flavours you want to pair, check the labels, then work out how much of each you’ll need.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Flavour mix | See whether you’re combining different flavour profiles, such as sweet chilli, nacho cheese and sour cream. | If my guests have different tastes, I’d rather serve two distinct flavours than choose one for everyone. This is the main consideration for around 40% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the allergen information and any ‘may contain’ wording on the packaging of each variant. | If someone at the table needs to avoid certain ingredients, I want to check the exact bag before serving it. Checking the label is the top priority for around 30% of consumers. |
| Bag size | Choose the bag weight to suit your group and the other snacks; compare the nutritional information of similar crisps per 100 g. | For a small group with several flavours, I don’t want to be left with more opened crisps than necessary. Bag size and quantity matter most to around 30% of consumers. |
Common mistakes when choosing
-
Assuming the flavour name tells you about allergens
Albert Heijn and Jumbo product information lists milk in Doritos Nacho Cheese and Cool American. According to Albert Heijn, AH Tortilla chips sweet chili has different dietary attributes, but may contain soya.
Check the ingredients, allergens and any ‘may contain’ warning on the packaging of the exact flavour and size you’re buying.
-
Comparing nutritional information by portion only
Portion sizes can vary, so figures per portion don’t provide a like-for-like basis for comparing two bags.
Compare similar tortilla chips per 100 g, as Voedingscentrum advises, then check how much each bag contains.
-
Assuming a flavour is available everywhere
Range availability varies by shop. For example, Lidl lists Snack Day Tortillachips sweet chili as an in-store product.
Check which flavours are available at your local shop or for delivery in your area shortly before your get-together.
-
Automatically choosing one large bag
A large bag of one flavour offers less variety, and if you have a small group, you may end up with some left over.
First work out how many people are sharing and what other snacks you’re serving. Then decide whether to choose one size or several smaller bags.

Frequently asked questions
Which flavours should I pair for a Friday afternoon get-together?
Try pairing sweet chilli with nacho cheese or a sour cream option to cater for different tastes. Add a chilli or paprika flavour if you know your guests enjoy it.
Are Doritos Nacho Cheese and Cool American suitable for someone with a milk allergy?
Albert Heijn and Jumbo product information lists milk in the Doritos variants in question, so don’t choose them for anyone who needs to avoid milk. Always check the packaging of the exact bag, as ingredients can change.
Is a dietary claim on a product page enough?
Check the current label too. Albert Heijn describes AH Tortilla chips sweet chili as vegan, gluten-free and lactose-free, but also says the product may contain soya. Read the ingredients and warnings on the bag you buy.
How do I compare the nutritional information of different bags?
Compare similar tortilla chips per 100 g rather than by portion alone, as Voedingscentrum advises. This lets you compare sugars, saturated fat and salt on the same weight basis; choose the bag size separately to suit your group.
