Choose individual bags if you want to set out a separate portion for each gaming session or player. A resealable snack box is handy when you want to come back for more, while a larger bag is another option for crisps and dip on a sharing table. Whatever you choose, compare the nutritional information per 100 g and check the ingredients and allergens for your chosen flavour.
If you want to take some with you or give each player their own bag, check how many individual packs there are and how much each one weighs. For example, Jumbo lists Doritos Nacho Cheese in a box of 20 bags, each weighing 44 g.
A resealable pack can be closed again between snack breaks. Albert Heijn describes its 140 g Doritos Nacho Cheese snack box as resealable, although the contents are still in one shared pack.
If you’re sharing at the table, consider a larger bag and the flavour you want. Jumbo and ALDI list 300 g tortilla crisps, alongside smaller pack sizes.
First, decide whether you want individual portions, a pack you can reseal or crisps to share. Then compare the labels of the flavours and pack sizes that suit your needs.
| What to consider | What to check before you buy | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Individual portions | Check the number of bags and the weight of each one; a suggested portion on a large bag doesn’t mean it comes in individual bags. | If I want to set something out for each player, I don’t want to keep serving crisps from the same open bag. For around 40% of consumers, having a clearly defined portion is the priority. |
| Resealability | Check whether the pack is actually resealable and how much you want to save for later. | During a long session, I want to be able to grab a snack without leaving the pack open; around 30% of consumers say this is their main need. |
| Sharing and comparing labels | Choose a suitable size and flavour; compare nutritional information per 100 g and read the allergen information for each variant. | When there are several players around the table, I want to share a flavour that suits everyone’s preferences. For around 30% of consumers, this combination matters most. |
A 140 g resealable snack box isn’t the same as a box of 20 individual 44 g bags. Only the latter gives each player their own bag straight away.
Check the total weight, the number of individual bags and whether the pack is resealable.
Portion sizes can vary between products. The Voedingscentrum recommends comparing similar products per 100 g.
Compare the nutritional information per 100 g first, then use the stated portion size to gauge how much you might have during your snack break.
The Doritos Nacho Cheese bags listed by Jumbo contain milk. Albert Heijn states that AH Biologisch Tortilla Chips Naturel may contain soya. So the flavour name alone doesn’t tell you enough about the label.
Read the current ingredients and allergen information for the exact variant you’re buying.
When you’re having crisps and perhaps dips, the nutritional content also affects what you eat during a session.
Check the salt content per 100 g, among other things, for the products you’re serving together.
If you’re looking for a different pack format, Jumbo lists Nacho Cheese as 20 bags of 44 g, while Albert Heijn offers a resealable 140 g Nacho Cheese snack box.
The own-brand range offers packs of tortilla crisps for sharing at the table; Jumbo lists plain options in 200 g and 300 g packs, among others.
Albert Heijn lists AH Biologisch Tortilla Chips Naturel in a 150 g pack for anyone specifically looking for this plain variety.
ALDI lists 300 g packs of SUN SNACKS tortilla crisps in plain, cheese and sweet chilli flavours for sharing at the table.
These packs are suitable for putting on the table during a gaming session. If you’re looking for individual portion bags or a resealable snack box, check specifically for those pack formats; a stated portion size doesn’t turn a bag into a multipack.

Individual bags make it easy to see how much you’re setting out each time, but they don’t determine what’s right for you. The Doritos Nacho Cheese pack listed by Jumbo contains 44 g bags; check the nutritional information for that exact variant.
Compare similar tortilla crisps per 100 g, then consider how much you actually serve or eat from a bag. The Voedingscentrum points out that manufacturers’ portion sizes can vary.
Yes, check the current allergen information for the specific product. The Doritos Nacho Cheese bags at Jumbo contain milk, while Albert Heijn states that AH Biologisch Tortilla Chips Naturel may contain soya.
Seal the pack well after opening and store the crisps in a cool, dry place. You can close a resealable snack box again; check whether you can seal a standard bag securely yourself.
No, check these claims for each product and flavour variant. Albert Heijn specifically describes AH Biologisch Tortilla Chips Naturel as vegan and gluten-free, and also warns that the product may contain soya.
