Breakfast eaters who want to use one pack more than once
You want to eat crispbread on several mornings or as a snack. In that case, both the pack size and the ability to keep it dry after opening matter.
Who is this for?
People who like wholemeal crispbread with their coffee
You’re looking for crispbread to have with your coffee and want to know whether your chosen variant really contains wholemeal grains. Only compare fibre values if they’re given on the same basis, such as per 100 g.
Shoppers who need to check the ingredients
If wheat, rye, gluten, milk or possible cross-contamination is a concern for you, read the ingredients and allergen information for the exact variant you plan to take with you.
What should you look for when choosing?
If you need to avoid certain ingredients, check the label first. Then consider which pack size suits your stay and whether you can seal the crispbread to keep it dry after opening.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Pack size | Compare the weight and number of pieces. Consider whether you can seal the pack to keep it dry after opening. | If I want to eat from one pack on several mornings, the amount needs to suit my stay without the crispbread going soft. Around 50% of consumers say using a pack on several occasions is their top priority. |
| Wholemeal and fibre | Check which grains are listed as wholemeal and compare the stated fibre values per 100 g. | For a simple breakfast with coffee, I want to know whether my chosen variant is wholemeal, rather than assume it is based on the product category. This is the most important factor for around 30% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients, allergen information and any warnings about traces on the current packaging. | If I need to avoid certain grains or other ingredients, the label determines which variant I can choose. Checking this is a top priority for around 20% of consumers. |
Common mistakes
-
Taking a large pack without being able to keep it dry
Crispbread exposed to moisture after opening can lose its crunch. So a larger pack isn’t necessarily convenient for a short hotel stay.
Choose an amount that suits when you’ll eat it, take an unopened pack with you and seal it properly after opening.
-
Assuming wholemeal crispbread is gluten-free
Wholemeal describes the grain used; it doesn’t mean the product is gluten-free. Jumbo lists wheat and rye in its Wholemeal crispbread, while Wasa Wholegrain is also a rye product.
Check the allergens for the exact variant. Only assume it’s gluten-free if this is explicitly stated on the current packaging.
-
Assuming the product category tells you whether it contains iodine
According to the Voedingscentrum, using iodised baker’s salt in bread is not compulsory. So you can’t tell from the product category alone whether a particular crispbread contains ingredients with iodine.
Check the ingredients on the pack if this matters to your choice.
Brands to help you choose
Pack sizes, grains used and allergens vary between products in the same category. The brand information below is therefore most useful as a guide to checking the label of a specific product.

Frequently asked questions
Is wholemeal crispbread automatically gluten-free?
No. Jumbo lists wheat, rye and gluten for its Wholemeal variant; Wasa Wholegrain is made from rye. Look for an explicit gluten-free label on the current packaging of the exact variant you choose.
What pack size should I choose for a hotel stay?
Choose a pack size you can use during your stay and keep dry after opening. A smaller pack can be handy if you’ll only eat crispbread a few times; a larger pack mainly needs packaging that seals well.
Can I assume crispbread contains iodine from baker’s salt?
No, you can’t tell from the product category. The Voedingscentrum states that using iodised baker’s salt in bread is not compulsory. If it matters to your choice, check the ingredients on the specific crispbread pack.
How can I keep crispbread crunchy in my hotel room?
Store it according to the instructions on the packaging, usually in a dry place, and seal the pack properly after opening. Don’t choose an amount you can’t store this way during your stay.
