Choose a multipack of individual bags if you want to divide your tortilla chips between lunchboxes or several TV nights. If a group will be eating the same flavour together, a large sharing bag may be more convenient; for a smaller group or a choice of flavours, a few smaller bags are another option. With a multipack, check that every bag actually contains tortilla chips, and read the current label for each variety.
If you want to portion out crisps between people or days, individual bags are more practical than one bag that needs to be stored after opening. For example, Jumbo lists Doritos Nacho Cheese tortilla chips in 20 bags of 44 g each.
If you’re putting out a bowl of crisps and dip for a TV night, focus on the bag size and whether one flavour will suit everyone. ALDI lists Sun Snacks tortilla chips in a 300 g bag.
If ingredients, allergens or nutritional information influence your choice, compare the exact flavours and packs. Albert Heijn says that product information can change, so it’s important to check the label on the pack when you buy.
Best if: you want to divide up unopened portions between lunchboxes or several snack times.
Bear in mind: a mixed crisps multipack won’t necessarily contain only tortilla chips.
Best if: several people will be eating crisps from the same bowl at the same time and want the same flavour.
Bear in mind: seal the bag well if there are any crisps left after your TV night.
Best if: you’re watching with a smaller group or want to serve a few different flavours.
Bear in mind: an individual bag doesn’t give you separately wrapped portions for later.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Individual portions | Check the number of bags, the weight of each bag and which types of crisps they contain. | I want to be able to send unopened portions with someone or save them for another night. Around 40% of consumers prioritise portioning this way. |
| Size for sharing | Compare the net weight with the number of people eating, and check that the crisps you choose go well with your dip. | If everyone is eating from the same bowl at the same time, I want a size that suits the group. Sharing is the main priority for around 30% of consumers. |
| Label and nutritional information | Read the ingredients and allergen information for the exact flavour; compare nutritional values per 100 g and the amount you’ll serve. | If someone eating with us needs to avoid an ingredient or allergen, I want to check the label before serving. Around 30% of consumers prioritise checking the label. |
Lidl describes its multipack of 15 bags as a mix of different types of crisps. So the word ‘multipack’ doesn’t tell you whether every bag contains tortilla chips.
Check the contents and flavour mix before choosing the pack for lunchboxes or a TV night.
Ingredients and allergens vary by flavour. Albert Heijn says Doritos Naturel may contain soya and wheat; Doritos Sweet Chilli has different allergen information.
Check the ingredients list and allergen information on the pack for every variety you choose, especially if someone eating with you has an allergy.
A large bag doesn’t give you separately wrapped portions for another time. Joybuy’s product information for G'woon and Santa Maria says to reseal the pack securely after opening and store it in a cool, dry place.
Choose a size that suits what you want to serve that evening, and follow the storage instructions on the pack if there are any crisps left.
