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 consider | What to check before buying | Who 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. |

| 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. |

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.
