Choose individual bags if you want to hand out snacks per person or for different occasions: according to Jumbo and Foods & Goods, the Doritos Nacho Cheese multipack reviewed contains 20 bags of 44 g, weighing 880 g in total. If you’re sharing them at one sitting, a larger sharing bag may be more practical; compare the amount you expect to use and check the label for the exact flavour. Dry crisps aren’t classed as liquids, but you’ll need to check the hand-luggage rules separately for any liquid or spreadable dip.
If you want to give each traveller their own sealed bag, or have separate snacks for different points in your journey or lunch breaks, look for a pack with individual bags. According to Jumbo and Foods & Goods, the Doritos multipack reviewed contains 20 bags of 44 g.
If you’re eating together at the same time, the main thing to consider is choosing an appropriate total amount; individual inner bags may not be necessary. AH and Jumbo list larger bags of tortilla crisps, including AH Natural at 200 g and Jumbo sizes of 200 g and 300 g.
If you need to take a dietary requirement or allergen into account, check the exact flavour and packaging. Jumbo lists milk in the Doritos cheese flavour reviewed; for the AH Natural variety reviewed, AH notes that it may contain soya, among other information. The NVWA explains how allergens are listed on labels.
Best for: handing out a sealed bag to each traveller or for each snack break. According to Jumbo and Foods & Goods, the Doritos multipack reviewed contains 20 bags of 44 g.
Bear in mind: you’re buying 880 g of one flavour; the bag size isn’t a recommended portion for everyone. Jumbo lists milk as an allergen in this variety.
Best for: eating together at one sitting and dividing the contents yourselves. AH Natural comes in one 200 g bag; Jumbo lists larger bags, including sizes of 200 g and 300 g.
Bear in mind: a stated number of portions doesn’t mean there are individual bags inside. AH recommends closing the packaging securely after use.
| What to consider | Check before buying | Who this matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Individual bags or a sharing bag | Check how many individual inner bags there are and the weight of each one. Jumbo and Foods & Goods list 20 bags of 44 g for the Doritos multipack reviewed; AH Natural comes in one bag. | If I want to hand out a sealed portion to each person or for each point in the journey, I check how many individual bags there are. Around 25% of consumers prioritise having separate portions to hand out. |
| Quantity and cost | Compare the total quantity, and only compare prices on the same weight and VAT basis. Also consider how much you actually expect to use. | If I only need a limited amount, I want to avoid buying much more than I need for my trip or group. Around 25% of consumers prioritise a suitable quantity and cost. |
| Flavour and label | Read the ingredients, allergen information and any warnings on the exact pack. Jumbo lists milk in the cheese variety reviewed; AH says the Natural variety reviewed may contain soya. | If I’m choosing for myself or a travelling companion based on flavour or a dietary requirement or allergen, I check the specific variety rather than relying on the brand name. Around 25% of consumers prioritise flavour and label requirements. |
| Taking them along and storage | Follow the storage instructions on the packaging and seal an opened sharing bag securely. Check any liquid or spreadable dip separately from the dry crisps; Schiphol lists rules for liquids and pastes. | If I’m taking crisps for different occasions, I want to know how to store an opened bag and whether any dip complies with hand-luggage rules. Around 25% of consumers prioritise taking snacks along and storing them. |
A stated number of portions doesn’t tell you how many individual packs are inside. AH Natural at 200 g lists eight 25 g portions in one bag; the Doritos multipack reviewed contains 20 individual bags.
Check the packaging for the exact number of individual bags and the weight of each one.
Schiphol also includes pastes such as mayonnaise and mustard in its liquids rules. The rules for a dip like this are therefore different from those for dry crisps.
Check liquid, gel-like or spreadable dips separately, and confirm the permitted container size before you travel.
According to Jumbo, the Doritos cheese variety reviewed contains milk; the AH Natural variety reviewed has different listed characteristics and a warning that it may contain soya.
Read the ingredients and allergen information for the exact flavour and pack you’re buying.
An individual bag of 44 g and a stated portion of 25 g are different amounts. So a price per bag doesn’t automatically give you a like-for-like comparison.
First compare the same weight in grams and use the same VAT basis; then consider how many portions you need.
The Nacho Cheese pack reviewed is designed for handing out individual bags.
AH Natural comes in a larger bag for you to portion out; it isn’t a multipack with individual inner bags.
Jumbo’s own-brand range includes larger bags of tortilla crisps in different sizes and flavours.

Liquid, gel-like or spreadable dips must be checked against the liquids rules. Schiphol includes pastes such as mayonnaise and mustard; when departing from Schiphol, liquids must be in containers of no more than 100 ml, carried in one transparent, resealable bag with a capacity of no more than 1 litre per person. Check the rules for your particular circumstances.
