Choose individual bags if you want to hand out sealed portions to colleagues. A mixed box offers a variety of snacks, but doesn’t contain only tortilla chips. For a sharing bowl, large bags are more practical, provided you portion them out yourself. Whichever option you choose, check the contents, portion size and allergen information on the current packaging.
For a meeting or lunchtime, sealed bags are easy to set out for each person. Jumbo lists a Doritos multipack with twenty 44 g bags; with a large sharing bag, you’ll need to portion the contents yourself.
If not everyone wants the same snack, a mixed box gives you more choice. According to Jumbo, the Lay's Doritos Chill Box contains twelve bags with different types of crisps. Check the ingredients and allergens for each variety.
If you’re serving tortilla chips and dip in one place, a large bag is a good fit. Jumbo, Albert Heijn and ALDI list bags weighing 170 g, 200 g and 300 g respectively. Bear in mind that you’ll need to portion the crisps yourself and reseal the opened bag.
Choose this: if every colleague needs a sealed portion of tortilla chips. Jumbo lists Doritos Nacho Cheese in a 20 × 44 g pack.
The trade-off: this pack comes in one flavour, so check that it and the portion size suit your team.
Choose this: if a variety of crisps matters more than having a box containing only tortilla chips. Jumbo describes the Lay's Doritos Chill Box as a mix of twelve bags.
The trade-off: not every bag contains tortilla chips, and allergens may vary between snacks.
Choose this: if colleagues will share tortilla chips and dip and don’t need individual bags.
The trade-off: you’ll need to portion the crisps yourself and seal the opened bag securely.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Individual portions | Count the bags and check the weight of each one. Also check whether every bag contains tortilla chips. | For a meeting, I want to give everyone a sealed bag without opening a sharing pack. Around 40% of consumers prioritise handing out individual portions. |
| Variety and allergens | Check the mix of flavours and read the ingredients and allergen information on the current box and bags. | If colleagues want different snacks, I need to be able to check what’s relevant for each bag when it comes to allergies. This combination is the top priority for around 30% of consumers. |
| Quantity and serving | Compare the total weight with the number of people eating, and decide whether you want to provide a sharing bowl and portion out the crisps yourself. | For a shared dip, I want to be able to serve enough tortilla chips without choosing a separate bag for everyone. This way of serving is also the top priority for around 30% of consumers. |
According to Jumbo, the Lay's Doritos Chill Box also contains other Lay's snacks. So a box of individual bags isn’t automatically a tortilla chip multipack.
Check the contents of each type of snack. If everyone needs tortilla chips, choose a pack that clearly contains them in every bag.
A larger box doesn’t necessarily contain more tortilla chips: the weight of each bag and the mix of snack types matter too.
Check how many bags are suitable for your team, and compare the total product weight as well.
A mixed box can contain snacks with different allergens. Albert Heijn also states that AH Tortilla chips naturel may contain soya.
Read the current packaging for the variety you’ve chosen. If a colleague has a food allergy, ask them what product information they need before choosing a snack for them.
A measured portion makes it easier to hand out snacks, but it doesn’t in itself say anything about the nutritional value of the crisps.
Use the number of bags to plan, and check the nutritional information for the specific product if it matters to your choice.
Jumbo lists Doritos Nacho Cheese Tortilla Chips as a multipack of 20 × 44 g.
Jumbo describes the Lay's Doritos Chill Box as a mixed box containing twelve snack bags.
Albert Heijn lists AH Tortilla chips naturel in a large 200 g bag, not as a box of individual bags.
Jumbo lists its own 170 g bag of Tortilla Naturel, as well as the Doritos multipack mentioned above.
ALDI Netherlands lists SUN SNACKS Tortillachips in a 300 g bag, in naturel, cheese or sweet chilli flavours.
If you want to hand out sealed bags and offer different types of crisps, this mixed box includes Doritos among its snacks. Choose a pack containing only tortilla chips if every bag needs to contain that snack.

For handing out sealed portions when you want a variety of crisps.
The box contains twelve bags, including Doritos Nacho Cheese, Lay's Max and Sensations. Not every bag contains tortilla chips.
Before buying, check the mix of flavours, the weight per bag and the allergen information on the current packaging, especially if you’re shopping for colleagues with allergies.
Choose individual bags if you want to hand out sealed portions to each colleague; use a large bag if you’re putting together a sharing bowl yourself. With a mixed box, bear in mind that not every bag necessarily contains tortilla chips.
Yes. If allergens matter to your colleagues, check the information on the current box and on the individual bags. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains how allergens are labelled on prepacked foods; don’t assume that one ingredients list covers every snack in a mixed box.
No, you’ll need to check each product. Albert Heijn describes AH Tortilla chips naturel as gluten-free and vegan, but also states that the product may contain soya. Don’t assume this product information applies to another brand or variety without checking.
Seal the bag securely after serving and follow the storage instructions on the packaging. Albert Heijn advises sealing the pack securely after use; Jumbo says to store its Tortilla Naturel in a cool, dry place.
