Hosts who want to hand out snacks quickly
You want to give guests their own sealed portion without filling bowls in advance. Jumbo lists Doritos Nacho Cheese in a pack of 20 bags of 44 g each.
Who are these packs suitable for?
Snack planners who want variety
You want to offer a selection of savoury snacks and don’t need every bag to contain tortilla chips. The Lay's Mega box described by Albert Heijn combines portions of Doritos with other snacks.
Shoppers who need to check allergens
You want to check the ingredients and allergen information on the current packaging for every flavour you choose. Don’t rely on the information for a different flavour variant.
What should you look for when choosing?
First decide whether every guest needs their own bag of tortilla chips, or whether a mixed box or a bowl to share would also work.
Individual bags of tortilla chips
Suitable when: guests can pick up a sealed portion themselves, or you want to take the bags with you.
Consider: a multipack with one flavour doesn’t offer the variety of a mixed box.
Mixed snack box
Suitable when: guests can choose from different types of snacks.
Consider: not every bag contains tortilla chips; according to Albert Heijn, five of the twenty portions in the Lay's Mega box are Doritos Nacho Cheese.
Large sharing bag of tortilla chips
Suitable when: you want to serve tortilla chips in bowls yourself, perhaps alongside dips.
Consider: you’ll need to divide the portions yourself; guests won’t get their own sealed bag.
| What to consider | What to check | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Handing out portions | Count the individual bags and check the weight of each one. Jumbo lists Doritos Nacho Cheese as 20 × 44 g. | I want to give everyone their own portion without serving it up in advance; around 37% of consumers prioritise this convenience. |
| Variety | Check which snacks are in the box and how many bags actually contain tortilla chips. | My guests would rather choose from different snacks, even if not every bag contains tortilla chips. Around 27% of consumers prioritise this variety. |
| Quantity | Compare the total contents with the number of portions you want to serve; ALDI also lists SUN SNACKS Tortilla Chips in a 300 g bag. | I’m filling bowls myself and mainly want a pack size that suits my gathering; this quantity is the biggest consideration for around 27% of consumers. |
| Allergens | Read the ingredients and highlighted allergen information on the packaging for the exact flavour or mix you’ve chosen. | I want to be able to check the right packaging first for a guest with a food allergy. Around 9% of consumers put this check ahead of the other considerations. |
Common mistakes
-
Assuming a mixed box is full of tortilla chips
According to Albert Heijn, the Lay's Mega box contains twenty portions, five of which are Doritos Nacho Cheese. The other bags therefore won’t provide a portion of tortilla chips for every guest.
Count the bags of tortilla chips separately if you want to serve one portion to everyone.

Relying on allergen information for a different flavour
Ingredients and allergens can vary between product variants. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains how allergens are listed on food labels.
Read the current packaging for the specific bag or box you plan to serve.
Brands to consider
Doritos
If you’re looking for individual bags of tortilla chips, Jumbo lists Doritos Nacho Cheese as 20 × 44 g.
- Twenty individual portions in the pack listed.
- Check the ingredients and allergens for each flavour variant; the brand name alone doesn’t tell you enough.
Lay's
The Mega box described by Albert Heijn is an option if a mix of snacks suits your drinks party.
- The box described contains twenty individual portions of different snacks.
- Five of these are Doritos Nacho Cheese; it’s not a box containing only tortilla chips.
SUN SNACKS
ALDI lists SUN SNACKS Tortilla Chips in a 300 g bag, a size for serving yourself.
- The pack listed contains 300 g.
- A large bag doesn’t provide individual sealed portions in advance.
Tortilla chips to serve yourself
This Doritos sharing bag is a good fit for a drinks party where you’ll serve the tortilla chips in bowls; it isn’t a multipack of individual portion bags.

Doritos Nacho Cheese Tortilla Crisps 170 g
A sharing bag for anyone who wants to serve tortilla chips themselves at a drinks party. The pack contains 170 g; you’ll need to divide the crisps into individual portions yourself. Check the current packaging for ingredients and allergen information.
Frequently asked questions
When should I choose individual bags instead of a large bag?
Choose individual bags if guests need to be able to pick up a sealed portion for themselves, or if you want to take tortilla chips with you. A large bag is a good choice when you’ll divide the crisps between bowls yourself, but it doesn’t provide individually wrapped portions.
Does a mixed snack box include tortilla chips for every guest?
Not necessarily: according to Albert Heijn, the Lay's Mega box contains twenty portions, five of which are Doritos Nacho Cheese. Check the contents of the box you’ve chosen if every guest needs a bag of tortilla chips.
How do I check allergens in tortilla chips?
Read the ingredients list and allergen information on the packaging for the exact flavour or mix you’re buying. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains how allergens are listed on food labels; information for a different flavour variant is no substitute for checking the packaging.
