Choose an individual pack if you want to take one pre-portioned snack with you between lectures without having an open bag left over. A larger bag is better for sharing or enjoying over several snack breaks. For either size, check the ingredients and allergens for the exact flavour, and compare the nutritional values per 100 g.
If you don't want to open a sharing bag or measure out the chips yourself, look for individually wrapped packs. Albert Heijn lists 44 g packs in its 20-pack of Doritos Nacho Cheese, each labelled as one serving.
For lunch with others or several snack breaks, you can choose a larger bag and decide how much to have yourself. For example, Jumbo lists ten servings in its 300 g bag of Tortilla Chips Plain.
If ingredients, allergens or nutritional values influence your choice, compare the exact flavours. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends comparing nutritional values per 100 g, as manufacturers set their own serving sizes.
First decide whether you want to take one sealed pack with you for your university lunch or share some chips. Then check the information on the packaging for your chosen flavour.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is it important to? |
|---|---|---|
| An individual lunch portion | Check that the pack really contains individual bags and that the stated serving is for one bag. | I want to take one pack out of my bag between lectures without having an opened sharing bag left over. Around 42% of consumers prioritise an individual lunch portion like this. |
| Sharing | Check the bag size and the stated number of servings, then decide how much to take with you or share. | When we have lunch together, I want to open a bag that several people can help themselves to. Sharing is the priority for around 33% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and nutritional values | Read the allergen information for the exact flavour and compare salt, saturates and sugars per 100 g. | I want to know which ingredients and allergens this flavour contains before I choose it. Checking the label is the top priority for around 25% of consumers. |
A 300 g bag may contain several servings. For one lunch, you’ll need to take out the amount you want yourself or decide what to do with the opened bag.
Choose individual packs if a sealed, single-serving pack matters to you. Pick a larger bag if you’re planning to share or save the rest for later.

Ask the canteen for allergen information about the chips it serves. According to Ondernemersplein, in the Netherlands a food business must provide customers with clear allergen information for non-prepacked food, such as food served in catering establishments. For a pre-packed bag, read the allergen information on the label.
