If you want to take one portion of tortilla chips with you for mid-morning, a single bag is a good fit. For several pre-portioned snacks, a multipack of individual bags is more practical. A regular bag means portioning them yourself, but could work if you want to share the chips too. Whichever you choose, check the contents of each bag and the label for the exact flavour.
You want to pop a bag in your bag or desk drawer without weighing out a portion. A multipack of individual 44 g bags, such as the one Jumbo lists for Doritos Nacho Cheese, fits the bill. Just check whether you’ll use the whole multipack.
You don’t want to eat straight from a large bag, but you don’t mind serving out a portion yourself. Albert Heijn lists an average 30 g portion for its 170 g bag of Doritos Naturel. For another flavour or pack size, check its own nutritional information.
You’re mainly looking for a bag to split across several snack breaks or share with others. ALDI lists SUN SNACKS Tortillachips in a 300 g pack. If you want one portion to take with you, you’ll need to take some out yourself.
First decide whether you need an individual bag or can portion the chips at home. Then compare the contents and nutritional information for the flavour you’re actually choosing.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Individual portions | Check the number of bags and the weight of each one. A multipack of 20 × 44 g bags is different from a single 44 g bag. | If I want to take a snack with me, I don’t want to divide chips from a large bag first. Around 38% of consumers prioritise a portion that’s ready to take with them. |
| Portion size and nutritional value | Compare the nutritional information per 100 g with the amount you actually eat. Pay particular attention to energy, salt and saturated fat. | If you serve out a portion at home, you’ll want to know what that portion contains rather than go by the size of the bag. Around 31% of consumers say this is their top priority. |
| Flavour, ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients and allergen information for the exact flavour and pack. Don’t rely on details for another variety from the same brand. | If I need to avoid certain ingredients, the label determines whether a flavour is suitable for me. Around 31% of consumers say this check matters most to them. |
Jumbo lists Doritos Nacho Cheese as 20 individual 44 g bags. That gives you several portions to take with you, but it’s a different purchase from one bag for today.
Before buying, check both the number of bags and the contents of each one.
A flavour name doesn’t tell you which ingredients or allergens the variety contains. Information for another pack from the same brand isn’t a substitute either.
If you have an allergy or intolerance, read the current label on the exact pack you’re buying.
For its single 44 g bag of Doritos Sweet Chilli Pepper, Jumbo says it’s no longer part of its online range. So, a product page that’s still visible doesn’t necessarily mean you can order the bag online.
Check current availability online or with the shop you plan to buy from.
The size of a bag alone doesn’t tell you how much energy, sugar, fat or salt you’ll get in that portion.
Read the nutritional information per 100 g and work out the figures for the amount in the bag if the values per portion aren’t given.
Jumbo lists a Nacho Cheese multipack with 20 bags of 44 g, while Albert Heijn lists a 170 g bag of Naturel. These pack sizes therefore suit different ways of portioning.
ALDI lists SUN SNACKS Tortillachips in a 300 g bag, a size to portion yourself or share.
Lidl lists 60 g Sweet Paprika tortilla chips as a product available in store only.
Mission Foods describes several types of tortilla chips internationally, including Strips, Triangles, Rounds and Thin and Crispy.
These products include a small bag for one snack break, as well as larger bags that you can portion yourself. When choosing, pay particular attention to the weight of the exact variety.

A paprika variety for anyone who wants to make a portion to take with them from a regular bag. The product title states 170 g; read the label for the ingredients and nutritional information for this flavour.
A single bag works if you want to take one portion with you without any preparation; with a regular bag, you’ll need to take some out yourself. For its 170 g bag of Doritos Naturel, Albert Heijn lists an average portion of 30 g and five to six portions per bag, but this portion information doesn’t automatically apply to other varieties.
No. The weight alone doesn’t tell you how much energy, fat, sugar or salt it contains. Compare the nutritional information per 100 g and, if provided, per portion for the exact variety you plan to eat.
Read the ingredients list and allergen information on the current pack for the flavour you’ve chosen. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority lists 14 allergens that must be declared on the label. If you have an allergy, don’t rely on information for another flavour.
Jumbo says on that specific product page that the bag is no longer part of its online range. This doesn’t tell you whether it’s in stock in shops or with other retailers, so check with them separately.
Compare the ingredients lists and nutritional information on the back of the packs. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends turning the pack over so you can see what’s inside; compare the same quantity, such as per 100 g.
