If you want to give each guest a sealed bag to take away, choose an individual portion: Doritos Sweet Chili Pepper is available in a 44 g bag. If you’re serving tortilla chips in bowls, a larger bag means fewer packets to open, but you’ll need to organise serving and protect any leftovers. In either case, check the ingredients and allergen information on the packaging you buy.
For takeaway bags or when there’s no serving on site, individual bags make it easy to portion everything out in advance. Auchan lists a 44 g bag of Doritos Sweet Chili Pepper. This is a single bag, not a multipack containing several bags.
If you’re serving tortilla chips in bowls, Carrefour lists 300 g and 400 g bags, which are suitable for sharing. You’ll need to provide serving bowls and decide when to open the packets.
If any guests have an allergy or dietary requirement, the flavour and brand alone aren’t enough to guide your choice. The DGCCRF advises that allergens in prepacked foods must be emphasised in the ingredients list. Check the details on each product you buy, including any ‘may contain’ warnings.
First, decide whether guests will receive a sealed bag or help themselves from bowls. Then consider how much you need and check the exact ingredients.
| Criteria | What to check | Who is it for? |
|---|---|---|
| Individual portions | Weight of each bag and the number of bags in any multipack. | If I’m putting together takeaway bags, I want to hand out a sealed portion without having to divide up the chips on site. Around 36% of consumers would prioritise individual portions. |
| Buffet service | Quantity per bag and the serving bowls you’ll need; Carrefour lists 300 g and 400 g sizes, among others. | If I’m topping up bowls throughout the fête, I mainly need enough for everyone to share, and I’m happy to organise how to store any leftovers. This would be the main consideration for around 36% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Ingredients list, allergen information and nutritional details for the exact product. | If I need to take allergies into account or compare recipes, I read the packaging rather than relying on the flavour name. Around 28% of consumers would put these checks first. |
The 44 g bag of Doritos Sweet Chili Pepper listed by Auchan is a single bag. If you’re handing them out to several guests, the weight alone doesn’t tell you how many bags are included.
Count how many portions you need, then check the number of bags listed for each product or multipack you’re considering.
Carrefour Sensation Nature has a short ingredients list, but the product information also mentions that it may contain traces of soya. Ingredients and allergen information can vary between products and flavours.
Before serving the chips to anyone with an allergy, check the label on each product you buy, including the ingredients and any ‘may contain’ warnings.
Once you’ve tipped a bag into bowls, the chips are no longer in sealed portions ready to take away. The 44 g Doritos bag listed by Auchan also carries a storage instruction to keep it in a cool, dry place.
Keep unopened bags in the conditions stated on the packaging and open larger packs as you need them during service.
The range includes a 44 g bag of Sweet Chili Pepper listed by Auchan, as well as larger sharing packs.
Carrefour lists Nature tortilla chips in several sizes, including 150 g and 400 g, for serving in bowls.

Yes. Auchan lists a 44 g bag of Doritos Sweet Chili Pepper, a suitable size to hand out as a sealed individual portion. If you want to buy several portions together, check how many bags are included in the multipack you’re considering.
The two sizes suit different ways of serving: a 44 g bag gives you a sealed portion to hand out, while a larger sharing pack can be poured into bowls. For the latter, make sure you have bowls ready and open the packets as needed throughout the fête.
Read the ingredients and allergen information on every packet you buy. Don’t assume what’s in it based on the brand or flavour name alone. The DGCCRF advises that allergens must be emphasised on prepacked foods; also check for any ‘may contain’ warnings specific to the product.
Check the date and storage instructions on each packet. Auchan’s product information for the 44 g bag of Doritos Sweet Chili Pepper says to store it in a cool, dry place; check the instructions for each of the other products separately.
