For a protein-first half-term snack, compare the amount you would serve: Asda lists 10g of protein per 35g serving for The Curators Tangy Cheese Protein Chips, Waitrose lists 6.6g per 30g for its Salt & Vinegar Popped Tortillas, and Tesco lists 1.9g per 30g for Doritos Lightly Salted. Those portions differ, so check protein per 100g as well as the serving size; flavour, salt and the current pack’s allergen information may change which snack suits your household.
If protein is part of the buying decision, compare the amount in a stated serving rather than assuming every tortilla chip has a similar protein content. Pack size and salt matter when planning snacks for several people.
The Curators Tangy Cheese product is labelled suitable for vegetarians, according to Asda. Its milk and soya ingredients still need checking against the requirements of whoever will eat it.
The Curators Tangy Cheese product contains milk and soya, while Waitrose lists soya and a possible sesame presence for its Salt & Vinegar Popped Tortillas. Check the packet for the exact snack being served.
Start with the amount likely to be eaten, then use the per-100g panel to compare products with different stated serving sizes.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Protein | Compare protein per serving and per 100g. Asda lists 10g per 35g serving for The Curators Tangy Cheese; Waitrose lists 6.6g per 30g for its popped tortillas; Tesco lists 1.9g per 30g for Doritos Lightly Salted. | I’m choosing a snack partly for its protein content, so I want to know what the portion I serve provides. |
| Allergens | Read the ingredients and allergen statements on the current pack. Asda lists milk and soya for The Curators Tangy Cheese; Waitrose lists soya and says its Salt & Vinegar Popped Tortillas may contain sesame. | If a child or guest has an allergy, the label needs to work for that person—not just carry a gluten-free or high-protein description. |
| Portion and salt | Check the stated serving size against the amount you plan to put out. Asda lists 0.35g salt per 35g serving for The Curators Tangy Cheese; Waitrose lists 0.36g per 30g for its popped tortillas. The serving sizes are different. | For a shared snack, I want to judge the amount each person might eat rather than treat one pack as one serving. |
| Format and flavour | Check whether you are buying tortilla-style chips, popped tortillas or another lentil snack. The Curators option is Tangy Cheese; the Waitrose option is Salt & Vinegar. | If we want chips for dips, the snack’s shape matters alongside its protein figure. For eating on its own, flavour may matter more. |
Tesco lists 1.9g protein per 30g serving for Doritos Lightly Salted, while Waitrose lists 6.6g per 30g for its high-protein popped tortillas.
If protein drives the purchase, compare the nutrition panels rather than relying on chip shape or flavour.
Asda labels The Curators Tangy Cheese product free from cereals containing gluten, but also lists milk and soya. Waitrose lists soya and possible sesame presence for its popped tortillas.
Check each relevant allergen separately on the packet before serving.
The Curators figures use a 35g serving; the Waitrose and Doritos figures cited here use 30g servings. Serving-level figures therefore describe different amounts of food.
Use the serving figure to plan a portion and the per-100g figure for a like-for-like comparison.
Ingredients and allergen information can change between the listing you read and the pack you receive.
Read the current packet before serving, particularly when someone has an allergy or intolerance.
