If reducing fat is the priority, compare the nutrition panels: Waitrose & Partners lists Doritos Protein Sizzling Steak at 11g fat per 100g, while the conventional tortilla chips listed by ASDA, M&S, Waitrose, Sainsbury's and Tesco in this comparison contain 21–23.5g per 100g. For a shared picnic bowl, a conventional 180–200g bag serves a different purpose from the 48g individual bag; check portions, ingredients and availability before choosing.
If lowering fat matters, use the fat figure per 100g rather than a flavour description. Waitrose & Partners lists Doritos Protein Sizzling Steak at 11g per 100g; the conventional products in this comparison range from 21g to 23.5g per 100g across ASDA, M&S, Waitrose, Sainsbury's and Tesco listings.
A 180–200g bag gives several guests a shared bowl, whereas the 48g Doritos Protein bag is an individual format. Check the serving information if you are comparing nutrition per portion.
Check the exact recipe before serving. The listed ASDA Cool chips contain milk, Doritos Protein Sizzling Steak contains soya, and some plain products carry vegan or gluten-free declarations.
Decide whether fat content or a sharing format matters more, then check the exact pack for portion information and dietary suitability.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Fat content | Compare fat per 100g on the same basis. Read what any reduced-fat claim is comparing; lightly salted describes neither the fat figure nor a reduced-fat claim. | If I am choosing chips to reduce fat, I need the nutrition panel to show the difference, not just a lighter-sounding name. |
| Pack and portions | Check pack weight and stated servings. Doritos Protein Sizzling Steak is a 48g individual bag; the conventional sharing examples are 180–200g. | For a bowl beside the dips, I need enough to share. For separate snacks, an individual bag may suit the serving plan better. |
| Salt | Compare salt per 100g and per stated serving on the packs you are considering. Do not use lightly salted as a shortcut for judging fat. | If salt matters for this picnic, I want to compare the figures for the portions I intend to serve. |
| Ingredients | Read the exact pack's allergen and dietary declarations. The listed ASDA Cool product contains milk; Doritos Protein Sizzling Steak contains soya. | With different dietary requirements at the picnic, I need to check the flavour and recipe I will actually serve. |
Tesco's Doritos Lightly Salted listing gives 23.4g fat per 100g, while M&S Lightly Salted lists 21.9g per 100g. The salt description does not establish a reduced-fat comparison.
Compare fat per 100g and check the comparator stated beside any reduced-fat claim.
Doritos Protein Sizzling Steak is listed at 11g fat per 100g and carries a manufacturer claim of 30% less fat than average regular tortilla chips. That comparative claim is different from “low fat”: Business Companion's February 2025 UK guidance says solid foods must contain no more than 3g fat per 100g to bear a low-fat claim.
Use the product's stated comparison when assessing reduced fat, and check the per-100g figure separately.
A 48g individual bag and a 180–200g sharing bag serve different picnic plans, even when the smaller product has a lower fat figure per 100g.
Decide how many people will share the chips before choosing the pack format.
Ingredients differ by product and flavour: the listed ASDA Cool chips contain milk, while Doritos Protein Sizzling Steak contains soya.
Read the ingredient and allergen information on the actual pack before serving it.

No. It does not describe the product's fat content. Tesco lists Doritos Lightly Salted at 23.4g fat per 100g, and M&S lists its Lightly Salted Tortillas at 21.9g per 100g. Compare the nutrition panels if reducing fat matters.
Not necessarily. Waitrose & Partners lists Doritos Protein Sizzling Steak at 11g fat per 100g alongside the manufacturer's 30%-less-fat comparison with average regular tortilla chips. Business Companion's February 2025 UK guidance says a solid food must contain no more than 3g fat per 100g to bear a low-fat claim.
Choose according to how the chips will be served. The 48g Doritos Protein Sizzling Steak bag is an individual format, while the conventional 180–200g examples are sharing bags; check stated servings rather than treating a whole sharing bag as one portion.
Read the ingredient, allergen and dietary declarations on the exact pack before serving. The listed ASDA Cool chips contain milk and Doritos Protein Sizzling Steak contains soya, while the Tesco Lightly Salted listing labels its product suitable for vegans.
