Asian snacks offer plenty of variety, from Chinese snacks and rice crackers to Japanese snacks, biscuit sticks and soft biscuits. Ordering online is easy, but attractive packaging does not always tell you exactly what you are getting. If you focus only on the flavour name, discount or eye-catching claim, you could end up with awkward packaging, unexpected allergens or a snack that is not suitable for how you intend to use it.
These checks will help you make a more informed choice between sweet snacks, savoury snacks and snacks for on the go.
A 40 or 60-gram bag could be one large portion, while a larger pack may contain several individually wrapped snacks. Always check:
For lunchboxes, school or the office, individually wrapped snacks are often more practical. A large pack may seem better value, but once opened it can go soft more quickly if it is not sealed properly.
A product carrying a claim such as “reduced sugar” may contain less sugar than a comparable version, but it could still be relatively high in fat, carbohydrates or energy. Always check the nutrition table per 100 grams and, where available, per portion.
The warning on the label is important for products containing sweeteners. For example, the product information for MUSHAN BASE states that excessive consumption of maltitol may have a laxative effect. This is not necessarily a reason to rule out the product, but it is worth bearing in mind when consuming larger quantities.
“Crab”, “cheese”, “milk-banana” or “passion fruit” may refer to a flavour combination, but they do not indicate how much of the actual ingredient is present. Check the ingredients list and allergen information. For example, Mi Mi Crab-Flavored Biscuit Pieces lists crab powder, as well as fish sauce and fish. This makes the snack less suitable for people who avoid fish or shellfish.
In the European Union, the fourteen main allergens must be clearly listed when they are present in a product. When buying Asian biscuits and biscuit sticks, look out for:
“May contain traces” is a warning about possible cross-contamination, not confirmation that the ingredient has deliberately been added. If you have an allergy, it is advisable to check the current label on the packaging.
Rice crackers and crispy snacks lose their crunch when exposed to moisture. Product information recommends storing an opened pack of WANT WANT Mini Crispy Bites in an airtight container and consuming it within three days. This is particularly relevant if you do not finish a bag in one sitting.
Soft Sachima, filled biscuits and biscuit sticks have different characteristics. Check the best-before date, storage instructions and guidance on consuming the product soon after opening. As a general rule, store snacks in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
Choose the pack size based on when you plan to eat the snack:
The nutritional values below are generally given per 100 grams. Use the net weight to estimate how much you will actually consume at each eating occasion.
Why it suits this profile: A compact introduction to savoury rice crackers. The small pieces are ready to eat and fit neatly into a lunchbox or make a handy snack for a short break.
The 60-gram net weight is clearly stated. The product description mentions individually wrapped snack portions, so you do not have to open a large bag straight away.
Rice makes up 57% of the product according to the QUID declaration. Contains wheat and soya; may contain traces of milk.
Why it suits this profile: A larger Chinese snack to share at leisure over tea or keep at home as a stock-up treat.
The packaging states 469 grams and 18 packs. You can compare the “reduced sugar” claim with the nutrition table, which lists 3.2 grams of sugar per 100 grams.
Soft Sachima with a crispy egg flavour according to the product description. Contains wheat, egg and milk.
Why it suits this profile: Ideal for anyone who needs plenty of portions for the office, parties, lunchboxes or the cupboard.
The box contains 40 bags of 20 grams. This keeps each portion sealed until you are ready to eat it. The ingredients list clearly identifies fish, crab and wheat.

We have put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
For sweet snacks, biscuit sticks with milk-banana flavour, Hello Panda with a milk filling, and biscuits with chocolate, cranberry or blueberry are all sensible options. Tokimeki Biscuit Stick Milk Banana weighs 40 grams and contains wheat, milk and soya. According to the product description, Tokimeki Panda Biscuit Passion Fruit Flavor combines chocolate with a passion fruit filling and also contains sulphites.
If you are looking for snacks to enjoy with tea, consider Mi Lao Tou Crispy Rolls in coconut or peanut flavour. These packs contain 300 grams. With the peanut flavour, note that peanuts are not included in the listed ingredients, although the flavour is mentioned in the product name; check the current label carefully.
Small packs of around 40 to 60 grams are easy to carry. Individually wrapped rice crackers, biscuits or biscuit sticks also remain sealed until you are ready to eat them. Check that the packaging is undamaged and store the product in a dry place.
Store unopened snacks in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, crispy snacks are best kept in an airtight container. Always follow the specific instructions on the packaging, as soft filled biscuits react differently to moisture than rice crackers.
Consider the size, portion packaging, allergens and warnings on the label. Some products contain colourings or sulphites. For example, Mi Lao Tou Crispy Rolls carry a warning about E102. According to the product information, this colouring may affect activity and attention in children. Also check the ingredients list carefully and choose snacks that are suitable for the child’s age.
