Which pack is right for you?

Commuters looking for a single snack

If you want to pop a bag straight into your bag without decanting anything, check the weight of each individual bag. Jumbo lists Doritos Nacho Cheese Tortilla Chips as 20 x 44 g. Jumbo also offers Doritos Bits in a pack of 30 x 30 g; check whether this product suits your needs if you’re looking to take tortilla chips with you.

Lunchbox users who portion their own snacks

If you have a sealable container at home or at your destination, you can take some from a larger bag. Alongside multipacks, the Doritos range shown by Jumbo also includes bags of 170 g and 272 g.

Consumers who read labels carefully

If you have a specific dietary requirement, the information for the flavour and pack you choose matters. Joybuy’s product information for Doritos Cool American lists milk and the possible presence of soya, wheat and gluten; don’t assume this applies to other varieties.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether you want to take a sealed bag with you or can prepare your own portion. Then compare the weight per bag and check the nutritional information and ingredients for your chosen flavour.

What to considerWhat to check before buyingWho is this important to?
Taking an individual bag Check the number of bags and the weight of each one. Jumbo lists, among other options, Doritos Nacho Cheese Tortilla Chips 20 x 44 g. If I want to pop a single bag straight into my bag without any preparation, having a pre-portioned amount is key; around 50% of consumers prioritise a ready-to-eat portion.
Label and ingredients Read the ingredients, allergen information and nutritional details for your chosen flavour. Compare the salt per 100 g with the amount you plan to eat. If I have a specific dietary requirement, I want to be able to check what’s in this particular variety. For around 30% of consumers, the label and ingredients are the main priority.
Portioning it yourself Check the bag’s weight and consider whether you can take a sealable container or bag with you. If you’re already preparing a portion at home, you may want to decide for yourself how much to take; around 20% of consumers prefer to portion their own snacks.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a large bag is a single portion to take with you

    A bag of 170 g or more doesn’t automatically contain individually wrapped portions. For a single snack on the go, you’ll need to take some out yourself.

    Choose a multipack if you want to take a sealed bag with you straight away. If you opt for a larger bag, portion some out beforehand into a sealable container or bag.

  • Assuming the allergens in one flavour apply to another

    Joybuy’s product information for Doritos Cool American lists milk and the possible presence of soya, wheat and gluten. This doesn’t tell you anything about the ingredients in another flavour.

    Check the current ingredients list and allergen information on the packaging you choose every time you buy.

  • Assessing a chips-and-dip combination as if it were just chips

    If a pack contains chips and a separate dip, both components affect the ingredients and nutritional value of what you eat.

    Check the nutritional information and ingredients for both the chips and the dip before choosing a combination like this.

Brands and ranges to consider

Doritos

Jumbo offers both individually wrapped Doritos products and larger bags. Check the product name if you’re specifically looking for tortilla chips: Doritos Bits isn’t necessarily the same type of product.

  • Jumbo lists Doritos Nacho Cheese Tortilla Chips as a multipack of 20 x 44 g.
  • Not every Doritos pack contains individual bags; check the label for each flavour too.

Jumbo

The own-brand range is another option to compare if you’d rather portion tortilla chips out of a larger bag yourself.

  • Jumbo lists its own-brand paprika and cool cream tortilla chips in 170 g bags.
  • A 170 g bag doesn’t provide a pre-portioned individual snack.

Albert Heijn

Albert Heijn lists a Doritos Nacho Cheese Flavour Snackbox in its range.

  • The product name gives you a starting point for comparing a snackbox with standard bags.
  • Check the current packaging for the contents, nutritional information and allergens before deciding whether it’s right for your lunch.

Frequently asked questions

Does a reference intake icon tell me how many tortilla chips to eat?

No. According to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, reference intake is nutritional information, not advice on your portion size. Also check the bag’s weight and the nutritional values per 100 g or per portion.

How do I check the allergens in tortilla chips?

Read the current ingredients list and allergen information on the packaging you’ve chosen. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains which allergens must be listed on labels; the ingredients in one flavour don’t tell you anything about another variety.

How should I take chips from an opened large bag with me?

Put the amount you want into a well-sealed container or bag, and follow the storage instructions on the packaging. Joybuy’s product information for Doritos Cool American recommends storing the product in a cool, dry place and sealing the packaging tightly after opening.

Can I rely on online product information alone for allergens?

Check the packaging of the product you’re actually buying too. Albert Heijn points out that ingredients, nutritional values and allergen information can change.
