Which size is right for you?

If you want to hand out individual portions

If you want to set out a separate bag for everyone, a multipack is one option. Albert Heijn lists twenty 44 g bags in its Doritos Nacho Cheese 20-pack.

If you want to share chips from one bowl

If you’re serving tortilla chips with dip, you can put a sharing bag on the table. Jumbo lists a 300 g plain bag, while Albert Heijn lists a 200 g AH Naturel option.

If you want to take a pack with you and reseal it

A snack box can be handy if you’re not serving everything at once. Albert Heijn describes the Doritos Nacho Cheese snack box as having a wide opening and being resealable. Check the allergens for your chosen flavour with this size, too.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide how you want to serve or take your tortilla chips with you. Then compare the contents and the label on the specific pack.

What to consider What to look for Who it matters to
Individual portions Check the number of bags, the contents of each bag and whether they all contain tortilla chips. I want to hand out the chips in advance, rather than portioning them out on the terrace. Around 36% of consumers prioritise being able to hand out individual portions.
Sharing from a bowl Check the net weight and the number of portions on the pack; a sharing bag doesn’t contain separately packed portions. If we’re putting chips and dip on the table, I want enough for everyone. Sharing from one bowl is the priority for around 29% of consumers.
Taking it with you and resealing it Check the contents, how the pack closes and the storage advice for an opened pack. I’m taking the chips with me and want to be able to close the pack if there are any left. Around 21% of consumers give this the most consideration.
Label for each flavour Read the ingredients, allergens and nutritional information for your chosen variety, per 100 g or per portion if needed. When I’m shopping for other people, I want to know exactly what’s in this flavour. For around 14% of consumers, checking the label is a priority.

Common mistakes

  • Mistaking an assorted box for a multipack of tortilla chips

    Albert Heijn lists thirty bags in the Lay’s Celebration Box, of which four are Doritos Nacho Cheese. The remaining bags contain other snacks.

    Before buying, check how many bags actually contain the tortilla chips you want.

  • Assuming the label for one flavour applies to another

    The Doritos Nacho Cheese 20-pack lists milk. Albert Heijn describes its AH Tortilla Chips Naturel as lactose-free, but says they may contain soya. This information applies to the varieties listed, not automatically to other packs.

    Read the ingredients and allergen information on the pack for the exact flavour and size you’re choosing.

  • Choosing based only on the size of the pack

    A 300 g bag may work well for sharing from a bowl, but its contents aren’t split into individual bags. A multipack, on the other hand, has portions ready to hand out.

    Decide whether you want to hand out individual portions or serve everything at once, then choose your pack.

Frequently asked questions

When should I choose a multipack instead of a large bag?

Choose a multipack if you want to have individual portions ready in advance. Albert Heijn lists twenty 44 g bags in its Doritos Nacho Cheese 20-pack; the 300 g Jumbo Tortilla Chips Naturel come in one sharing bag with ten listed 30 g portions.

Can I choose nacho cheese tortilla chips if someone needs to avoid milk?

Don’t assume they’re suitable: the Doritos Nacho Cheese 20-pack lists milk as an allergen. Check the ingredients and allergen information on the pack for the exact variety before shopping for someone else.

How should I store an opened sharing bag of tortilla chips?

Close the bag securely after use and follow the storage advice on the pack. For AH Tortilla Chips Naturel, Albert Heijn recommends storing them in a cool, dry place. Check the label again for other varieties.
