For a snack you can take with you straight away, look for an individual 44 g bag. If you want snacks for several occasions, a box of individual packs is a larger purchase. A large bag labelled as containing several portions isn’t the same as individually packed snacks: you’ll need to portion it out and seal it yourself.
You’re looking for an individual bag that you can take with you and open straight away during a quick shopping trip. Albert Heijn lists Doritos Sweet chili pepper in a 44 g bag as one portion; check availability at your local store.
You want to have individual bags ready for several occasions and are happy to buy a box. Jumbo lists a box of Doritos Nacho Cheese containing 20 bags of 44 g each.
You can portion out and seal the crisps before you leave, so a larger bag of plain tortilla chips could also suit you. For its 200 g bag, Albert Heijn lists eight 25 g portions; these aren’t in separate bags.
Start with the pack size: choose between one bag, several individual bags or a larger bag that you can portion out yourself. Then check the flavour, portion size and ingredients for the exact variant you’re considering.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| One bag for now | Check the net weight and whether the pack contains one individual bag. | If you want to pick something up during your shopping trip, an individual bag saves you having to portion it out. Convenience is the top priority for around 39% of consumers. |
| Choosing a flavour | Read the exact flavour name and ingredients; a flavour description doesn’t tell you the results of an independent taste test. | If you want to eat the crisps without a dip, the flavour may be the deciding factor. Around 23% of consumers put flavour first when choosing. |
| How much to buy | Compare the current total price, number of bags and any delivery costs. Don’t assume you’ll save per bag unless you’re comparing the same quantity. | If you’re buying for one snack occasion, a box with several bags may leave you with more than you need. Around 15% of consumers put cost and quantity first. |
| Portion size | Check the stated portion size and the nutritional information per 100 g separately; portions can vary between products. | If you want to decide how much to take with you, a large bag means more portioning than an individual pack. Around 15% of consumers want to control the portion themselves. |
| Ingredients | If you have an allergy or dietary requirement, check the ingredients and warnings on the current packaging; information for one variant doesn’t automatically apply to others. | If certain ingredients aren’t suitable for you, the information for the exact flavour matters more than the product category. Around 8% of consumers put suitability for their diet first. |
The eight stated portions in AH Tortilla chips naturel are all in one 200 g bag. If you’re taking them on the go, you’ll need to portion them out yourself.
Check both the net weight and the number of individual packs.
Portioning it yourself takes time and requires a resealable container.
PLUS lists milk as an allergen in Doritos Nacho Cheese 44 g. Ingredients vary between variants.
If you need to avoid milk, check the ingredients and allergen information on the current packaging.

Choose the pack size based on how many snack occasions you want to cover.
A box needs space to store the extra bags.
With a larger bag, you’ll need to portion out a serving yourself. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises storing crisps in a cool, dry, dark place and sealing them tightly.
Seal any portion you’ve put together yourself, and follow the storage instructions on the packaging too.
You may need a separate resealable container for taking them on the go.

Not necessarily. For crisps past their best-before date, the Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises checking, smelling and tasting them. Follow its guidance and check that the packaging is intact and the product still looks good; this isn’t a guarantee for every individual bag.
Check how many bags you’re buying and compare the current total cost, including any delivery charges. A box of 20 bags of 44 g is a different quantity from one 44 g bag; don’t assume you’ll save per snack without making a comparison.
