If you want to buy international snacks, you’ll quickly find a huge range online. Asian snacks, Korean snacks, Japanese snacks, American snacks, foreign sweets and unusual biscuits are often listed side by side. This makes comparing products interesting, but also challenging. Eye-catching packaging or a striking flavour name doesn’t tell you everything about the contents, pack size or storage requirements.
As a Joybuy Product Recommendation Officer, I filter market information based on practical considerations. Below, you’ll find what to look out for before ordering crisps and snacks, sweet snacks, dips or frozen products.
A product may have a distinctive flavour but still come in a small pack. The net weight varies considerably across this range, from 45 grams of Pocky to 403 grams of Festival biscuits. So don’t just check the price per pack; also compare the price per 100 grams or per portion.
Terms such as “fruity”, “authentic” or “extra spicy” mainly describe how a product is positioned. They don’t automatically tell you how much cocoa, fruit, chilli or other flavouring ingredients it contains. Always check the ingredients list and nutritional information. According to the product information, for example, Orion Turtle Chips Choco Churros contains 24% chocolate and 17% churros spice mix. That’s verifiable information; the final taste is still a matter of personal preference.
Foreign products may list familiar ingredients in different ways. Pay particular attention to wheat, gluten, milk, soya, egg, nuts, celery and gelatine. The cold chain is also important for frozen products. According to the product information, Rengi’s Korean Chicken Potato Corndog is stored, packaged and transported chilled. Mora Oven Beef Croquettes must remain frozen until preparation and must not be refrozen after thawing.
First, decide what you’re looking for:
Small packs of sweet treats are handy for a film night. For a party, individually portioned packs or a larger jar of salsa may be a better fit. Also check whether a product is ready to eat or needs to be heated in the oven.
Compare products by weight in grams, not just by price. A pack containing several small portions can be practical for sharing, while a larger bag may appear better value but could remain open for longer.
The nutritional values on the product pages are generally shown per 100 grams. Oreo Birthday Cake, for example, contains 502 kcal and 45 grams of sugar per 100 grams. According to the product information, Orion Turtle Chips Choco Churros contains 528 kcal and 30 grams of sugar per 100 grams. This makes these products suitable for comparing with one another, without making any statement about an individual nutritional goal.
Always check the packaging before eating. The seller of Glico Pocky states that the actual packaging may contain more or different information from the website. The current packaging should therefore be treated as the definitive source.
Also look out for:

We’ve put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
You can order international products online by first filtering by country, type of snack, storage method and allergens. Then check the net weight, shelf life and delivery information. For chilled or frozen products, it’s advisable to check in advance how the order will be transported and received.
For a mixed table, you can combine sweet snacks with crisps and snacks and a dip. Consider Look-O-Look Top Mix with ten small individual packs, Japanese Cheetos Barbeque, Korean Turtle Chips and Banderos Salsa Dip. Always check the current labels for guests with allergies.
Store dry products such as biscuits, cookies, crisps and sweets in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Seal the packaging securely after opening. Frozen products, such as corndogs and croquettes, must remain frozen at the temperature stated on the packaging. If in doubt, the information on the physical label should be treated as definitive.
