Which pack is best for you?

Travellers who want their own bag

If everyone snacks at a different time, individual bags mean you won’t need to portion out chips from a large bag while you’re on the go. The Doritos Nacho Cheese multipack listed by Albert Heijn and Jumbo contains twenty 44 g bags.

Groups sharing from one bag

A large bag is an option if several travellers want tortilla chips at the same time and don’t mind portioning them out themselves. Jumbo lists own-brand tortilla chips in 170 g and 300 g bags; ALDI lists 300 g bags of SUN SNACKS tortilla chips.

Travellers who want to check the label

If you’re looking for a particular flavour or need to avoid an allergen, the information on that exact pack matters. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends comparing the nutritional values of different packs per 100 g, even when the label also shows values per portion.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether everyone needs their own sealed bag or whether you’d rather share a large bag. Then check the product type, quantity and label for the flavour you’re buying.

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 stated portion size doesn’t automatically mean the product is individually packed. If I snack at a different time from my fellow travellers, I want to open my own bag without having to portion out the chips first. For around 33% of consumers, individual portions are the priority.
Tortilla chips to share Check that the pack says tortilla chips and that the flavour and bag size suit your group. When we eat together, I want to choose a flavour we can share without accidentally picking up ordinary crisps instead. Sharing tortilla chips is the main priority for around 27% of consumers.
Quantity per pack Compare the net weight and decide whether you want to portion it out yourself. For a group, I want to know how much is in the pack and don’t mind portioning it out myself. Around 20% of consumers prioritise the quantity per pack.
Ingredients and nutritional information Read the ingredients and allergens for your chosen variety; compare nutritional values per 100 g. If I need to consider ingredients or nutritional values, I want to be able to check the label for my chosen flavour. For around 20% of consumers, this is the main consideration.

Common mistakes

  • Mistaking a small bag of crisps for tortilla chips

    ALDI describes its SUN SNACKS sharing bags of 15 × 25 g as ordinary crisps in plain and paprika flavours. The tortilla chips from the same brand are listed in a 300 g bag.

    If you’re specifically looking for individually packed tortilla chips, read both the product description and the pack size.

  • Relying on the flavour name alone to check for allergens

    Albert Heijn and Jumbo list milk as an allergen in the 20 × 44 g Doritos Nacho Cheese multipack. A flavour name doesn’t tell you which allergens are listed on the pack you’ve chosen.

    When you buy, check the ingredients list and highlighted allergens on the pack of the exact variety you’re choosing.

Frequently asked questions

Are snack packs more convenient than a large bag of tortilla chips?

Snack packs are more convenient if every traveller wants their own sealed bag; a large bag works well if you’re sharing and want to portion it out yourselves. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list the Doritos Nacho Cheese multipack as twenty 44 g bags, while the large bags mentioned aren’t packed as individual portions.

Are all small bags of crisps tortilla chips?

No. ALDI describes the SUN SNACKS sharing bags of 15 × 25 g as ordinary crisps, while the tortilla chips from that brand are listed in a 300 g bag. Check the product type, not just the size of the bag.

Where can I check the allergens in tortilla chips?

Read the highlighted allergens in the ingredients list on the pack of the flavour you’re buying. For example, Albert Heijn and Jumbo list milk in the 20 × 44 g Doritos Nacho Cheese multipack; don’t assume this applies to other varieties.
