If you want the chips themselves to contain less fat, compare the nutritional values per 100 g and check which claim applies to the exact variant. Choosing a smaller portion does not change the composition per 100 g. For solid foods, the European Commission sets a maximum of 3 g of fat per 100 g for the claim ‘low fat’. If your main aim is to plan your snacking, work out your portion size and weekly quantity separately.
You want to know how much fat the chips themselves contain and how to distinguish nutrition claims from the full nutrition table. For solid foods, the European Commission sets a maximum of 3 g of fat per 100 g for the claim ‘low fat’.
You want to decide in advance how much you’ll eat at each snack time, using nutritional values per 100 g and any stated serving sizes. Albert Heijn lists a 25 g serving for AH Tortilla chips naturel; this is product information, not a recommendation for everyone.
You match the quantity to your planned snack times and check the pack weight, storage instructions and where the product is sold. For example, Lidl says the Snack Day Tortillachips zeezout variant reviewed is available in store only.
If reducing the fat in the product is your main aim, start by comparing its composition per 100 g. Then plan your portion and how much you’ll need for the week.
| What to consider | What should you look for? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Fat content | Fat in g per 100 g; the exact claim and the basis used for comparison. | If I want to change the composition of the chips themselves, I compare the same quantity of product. Around 36% of consumers focus on reducing the fat in the product. |
| Portion per snack time | Portion weight in grams; nutritional values calculated for that amount. | If I mainly want to plan how much I eat, I want to weigh my portion without confusing it with a different product composition. Around 29% of consumers prioritise the amount they eat. |
| Weekly shop | Net weight and planned snack times; storage advice and where it is sold. | If I’m shopping for the week, I want to choose an amount that suits my plans and where I can buy the variant. Around 21% of consumers prioritise stocking up for the week and convenient shopping. |
| Flavour and use | The exact flavour and how you’ll use it; the ingredients and allergens for that variant. | If I’m looking for chips to serve with dips or nachos, I want the flavour and style to suit what I’m serving. Around 14% of consumers start with flavour or how they’ll use the product. |
For solid foods, the European Commission sets a maximum of 3 g of fat per 100 g for the claim ‘low fat’. The AH and Doritos original-flavour variants reviewed both list 20 g of fat per 100 g.
Don’t use those regular variants as examples of low-fat chips. Keep the label claim separate from your portion planning.
A US Doritos pack weighing 1 oz (28,3 g) is a different product version. Its existence does not confirm that the same variant is available in the Netherlands or that it can make the same claim there.
Check the Dutch packaging, nutrition table and claim for the exact variant before considering it a lower-fat option.
Nutritional values per serving depend on the serving size. Comparing different quantities can therefore give you a misleading impression.
First compare the values per 100 g, then calculate them for the same portion size you plan to weigh out.
A larger bag doesn’t, by itself, tell you whether the quantity suits your planned snack times or the nutritional choice you’re looking for.
Match the pack weight to your plans for the week and, once opened, follow the storage advice on the exact pack.

For solid foods, the European Commission sets a maximum of 3 g of fat per 100 g for the claim ‘low fat’. This is a requirement for using that claim, not a general buying threshold for everyone.
Multiply the value per 100 g by the weight of your portion, then divide by 100. For AH Tortilla chips naturel, a 25 g portion works out at 5 g of fat and 117,5 kcal based on the published table. This is a calculation using the label values.
Follow the instructions on the packaging for the exact variant. Albert Heijn advises closing the pack tightly after use; for the original-flavour variant reviewed, Jumbo recommends storing it in a cool, dry place. These instructions do not guarantee how long opened chips will keep.
No. The Dutch product information for Doritos Naturel Tortilla Nacho Chips 185 g lists possible traces of gluten and soya. Check the information for the exact variant and pack; allergen information for one product does not automatically apply to other tortilla chips.
