Buying international products online gives you access to flavours, brands and items you won’t always find in your local supermarket. Think Asian snacks, fruit sweets, dried fruit, seaweed snacks, hotpot ingredients and practical toiletries. Even so, it’s important to compare. A striking packet doesn’t tell you much about the contents, portion size or whether it’s right for you.
As a Joybuy Product Recommendation Officer, I filter product information down to the details you can actually check. That way, you can see which facts matter before you order.
With sweets and snacks, the packaging can look large while the net contents are quite small. Taokaenoi Big Roll, for example, contains 18.9 grams, split across nine little rolls. That’s handy for portion control, but less suitable if you’re looking for a bulk supply. Always check the net weight, the number of pieces and the price per 100 grams.
Marketing terms are no substitute for an ingredients list. Fruittella Garden Fruits, for instance, mentions fruit juices and natural flavourings, but also contains glucose syrup and sugar. With Three Squirrels Red Apricot Dried, the product information states that 72.45% is apricot, alongside sugar and maltose syrup.
So with dried fruit, don’t just look at the fruit percentage – also check for added sugars, preservatives and sulphites. Be&Cheery One Bite Mango Sticks, for example, lists 70% mango and carries a sulphite warning.
Products with similar names don’t always have the same ingredients. Look-O-Look Dynamite Sticks contain wheat according to the product information, and may contain milk. Oreo Cocoa Crispy Rolls Strawberry Flavour contain gluten, milk and soya, among other things. For Fruitella Strawberry Vegan, the allergen information is listed as unavailable, so always check the actual packaging.
If you have an allergy or dietary requirement, the packaging is what counts. A product name or image is no substitute for the official allergen declaration.
When buying international food items, check:
Holland Foodz Cherry Sticks, for example, lists 83 grams of sugar per 100 grams. That makes it clear the product is a sweet treat, not a fruit product. If you’re buying Asian snacks online, it pays to compare several labels side by side.
Most long-life sweets just need a cool, dry place. Frozen products require more care. The FRESHASIA Beef Rolls and Master’s Premium Hot Pot set must be stored at -18 °C or below according to the product information, and must not be refrozen once thawed.
Mooijer Baby Shrimp Spring Rolls list prawn, wheat and soya as allergens. The product must stay frozen until use and be cooked through. These practical details determine whether a product fits your freezer space and cooking plans.
For a men’s deodorant roll-on, the contents are 55 ml for Kao Biore Men PRO. The product description mentions a fast-drying roll-on formula and a grapefruit scent. These are product features; the claimed protection against sweat and odour should be read as information from the brand, not a universally guaranteed result.
With an ice cream roll maker, check whether you have enough freezer space. The Royalstar Ice Cream Maker has a 304-grade stainless steel surface according to the product information, and needs to be pre-frozen upright for 8 to 10 hours before use. The appliance works without electricity, but it does require preparation and freezer room.
Why this fits the profile: Individually wrapped sweets are practical for sharing or taking on the go. The product information lists several fruit flavours and the weight per pack.
The number of pieces, nutritional values and ingredients are clearly stated. Do check the label if you need to rule out allergens.
Fruit juice listed in the ingredients, individually wrapped and, according to the product information, free from the 14 major EU allergens.
Why this fits the profile: Ideal for anyone who wants to make desserts at home with yoghurt and fruit, and is prepared to set aside freezer space in advance.
The product information states that the appliance doesn’t use electricity. The 8 to 10 hour preparation time prevents any false expectations about using it straight away.
304 stainless steel surface, high rim to prevent overflow, and suitable for ice cream rolls, yoghurt and fruit desserts.
Why this fits the profile: A practical combination for hotpot ingredient lovers and anyone who regularly cooks Asian dishes.
The set states the weight, the storage temperature of -18 °C and the allergens for the fish products. That means you can check your freezer space and dietary restrictions in advance.
800 grams of beef rolls plus 500 grams of fish products; suitable for hotpot, stir-fries and other cooking methods.
Why this fits the profile: An option for anyone looking for a natural deodorant without aluminium salts, who values a grapefruit, mandarin and sandalwood scent.
The product description specifically mentions 50 ml, vegan, no aluminium salts and the NATRUE label. Check the packaging if you’re sensitive to fragrances.
50 ml roll-on format, natural ingredients according to the product information, and a distinctive citrus-woody scent.
We’ve put together a full, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and comply with current European safety regulations.
That depends on the product information, packaging and storage. Check the ingredients, allergens, best-before date, origin and storage advice. With frozen products, it’s important that the cold chain is maintained and that you have enough freezer space at home.
Compare the net weight, ingredients and allergens. Also watch out for sulphites in dried fruit, soya and wheat in seaweed snacks or savoury items, and the sugar content in fruit sweets. The product image may differ from the actual packaging; use the label as your final check.
Not always. Compare the price per 100 grams, the number of portions and any delivery costs. A larger pack can work out cheaper, but only if you’ll use it before the best-before date. For toiletries such as a men’s deodorant roll-on, the contents per pack also matter.
