Choose regular corn tortilla chips if what you really want is crisps to enjoy with a dip. Check the protein per 100 g, then work out what you’ll get from your actual portion. If you’re mainly looking to add protein, a different snack base, such as a lentil snack, may suit you better – but it isn’t a tortilla chip. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre says most people who exercise don’t need specialist protein products. Consider your overall diet, not just your snack.
You’re looking for a savoury evening snack that contributes to your protein intake. Before choosing a sports product specifically, consider your overall diet. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre says most people who exercise don’t need specialist protein products.

| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important to? |
|---|---|---|

Around 25% of consumers prioritise portion control and the nutritional values of their portion. |
| Type of snack and flavour | Check whether it’s corn chips or another type of snack, which flavour is listed and how much the pack contains. | If I mainly want crisps to go with a dip, I look for a flavour and type of product that fit the bill. Around 17% of consumers prioritise the type of snack and its flavour. |
| Dietary requirements and allergens | Read the ingredients and check the separate information about allergens present and possible traces. | If a dietary requirement or allergen determines my choice, I check the information for that exact variety. Around 16% of consumers prioritise suitability for their dietary needs. |
