On the UK product pages compared by Waitrose & Partners, Doritos Dip or Load Salted and Gran Luchito Lightly Salted both list 20g fat per 100g. For a camping group, Doritos offers a larger 230g bag, while the 170g Gran Luchito bag is labelled gluten-free and suitable for vegans; check the current pack’s allergen advice before sharing either. “Lightly salted” does not establish fat content, so compare nutrition panels per 100g and plan for the bag’s opened-pack storage guidance.
If fat content is the deciding factor, compare the figures per 100g rather than relying on a flavour name. Waitrose & Partners lists 20g per 100g for both Doritos Dip or Load Salted and Gran Luchito Lightly Salted; the plain own-label bags cited by ASDA Groceries, Sainsbury’s, Tesco Groceries and Waitrose & Partners list different figures.
One shared bag needs to work for everyone eating it. Waitrose & Partners identifies Gran Luchito and Blanco Niño Lightly Salted as gluten-free and suitable for vegans; check the current pack’s ingredients and allergen advice before the trip.
A straightforward bag may be enough if you are happy to compare its nutrition panel with the lower-fat options. ASDA Groceries lists 22g fat per 100g for its 180g Lightly Salted bag, while Sainsbury’s lists 22.5g per 100g for its 200g Tortilla Chips.
Start with fat per 100g for a like-for-like comparison, then check whether the pack, dietary labelling and storage instructions fit the trip.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Fat content | Compare fat per 100g before per-serving figures, since serving sizes differ. Waitrose & Partners lists 20g per 100g for Doritos Dip or Load Salted and Gran Luchito Lightly Salted; Tesco Groceries lists 23.5g per 100g for Tesco Lightly Salted. | I want to choose by the amount listed for the same quantity of chips, not assume that “lightly salted” means lower fat. |
| Dietary suitability | Check gluten-free and vegan statements, ingredients and precautionary allergen advice on the current pack. Waitrose & Partners labels Gran Luchito and Blanco Niño gluten-free and suitable for vegans. | If one bag is going round the group, everyone eating from it needs to be able to use that exact product. |
| Pack and storage | Match pack size to the group. Waitrose & Partners lists 230g and 7–8 servings for Doritos Dip or Load Salted, with advice to consume it within three days of opening; ASDA Groceries advises consuming its Lightly Salted chips immediately once opened. | For a multi-day trip, I would choose a bag we can finish as directed or bring a clean airtight container for a product whose instructions allow storage after opening. |
| Energy and salt | Read both per 100g alongside fat. Waitrose & Partners lists 471kcal and 0.66g salt for Doritos Dip or Load Salted, versus 479kcal and 0.8g salt for Gran Luchito Lightly Salted. | Fat is not my only comparison; I also want to see the energy and salt figures before settling on a bag. |
The name describes the salt or flavour positioning, not the fat figure. Waitrose & Partners lists 20g fat per 100g for Gran Luchito Lightly Salted, while Tesco Groceries lists 23.5g per 100g for Tesco Lightly Salted.
Compare fat per 100g on the current packs. Do not rely on a formal reduced-fat claim unless the pack actually makes one.
A per-serving figure is harder to compare when bags define a serving differently.
Use per-100g figures to compare products, then check the stated serving size when deciding how much to take for the group.
