Buying snacks online seems simple: choose a flavour, add the product to your basket and check out. Yet attractive packaging and broad claims can hide important information. Are you buying sweets for yourself, a snack for your child or snacks for dogs and cats? Then ingredients, portion size, allergens and usage advice matter more than an eye-catching product name.
These practical checks will help you compare a sweets range more effectively and avoid buying something that is unsuitable for your household.
Words such as “fruit”, “natural” or “without certain additives” do not automatically tell you how a product is made. A gummy containing fruit juice may still consist mainly of maltose syrup and sugar. When buying sweets online, the ingredients list should therefore always be one of your checks.
Pay attention to the order of the ingredients, too. Ingredients listed first are generally present in the largest quantities. Also check for colourings, sweeteners, gelatine and potential allergens.
A bag or multipack may appear to offer a lower price per item, but this depends on the weight and number of portions. When comparing soft sweets, liquorice, gummies, nougat and wafers, check:
A sharing product, such as Lonka Soft Nougat Milk Peanut weighing 220 grams, is intended for different use than an individually wrapped treat.
Dog treats and cat snacks are intended as a supplement or reward. Product information for various INABA and Pedigree products states that they are complementary pet food. Do not automatically reduce or increase the amount of main food without checking the feeding advice.
The size of a dog treat also matters. A chew suitable for small adult dogs is not necessarily appropriate for puppies or larger dogs.
For confectionery, check for:
According to the product information, Venco Droptoppers Soft and Sweet weighing 225 grams is made with gluten-free ingredients, but it does contain gelatine and sulphites from liquorice root extract. Based on the information provided, the product is therefore unsuitable for vegetarians or vegans.
Look-O-Look Filled Cherry Sticks contain wheat flour and gelatine. Lonka Soft Nougat Milk Peanut contains milk, peanuts and soya, and may contain traces of nuts. If someone in your household has allergies, always check the physical label. The packaging may contain more up-to-date information than the online product page.
The nutrition table usually lists values per 100 grams. This is useful for comparisons, but it is not the same as the amount you actually eat. Venco, for example, lists 324 kcal and 54 grams of sugar per 100 grams. Verkade Frou Frou Vanilla lists 540 kcal per 100 grams and a Nutri-Score E.
For baby fruit snacks, the age recommendation is particularly important. According to the product information, De Kleine Keuken Organic Fruitjes with Apricots is intended for children from 12 months. The product contains apricot, date, banana and rice flour, and may contain traces of nuts. Always give young children snacks according to the instructions on the packaging, and pay attention to the shape and texture while they are eating.
When buying snacks online, storage advice is sometimes overlooked. This can affect freshness and safe use.
INABA Churu Dog Multipack Chicken contains 20 sticks of 12 grams. According to the product information, an opened stick should be sealed, stored in the fridge and used within 24 hours. For the INABA Churu Multipack for cats, the advice is to give the snack immediately after opening. Details like these make a difference when you are buying products to keep in stock.
Why it suits this profile: A bag containing several soft liquorice varieties is practical if you want to try a broad range of flavours first or share them with others.
The product information clearly lists the contents, allergens and nutritional values. This makes it easier to assess the mix than by looking at the packaging alone.
225 grams, several soft varieties and, according to the product information, gluten-free ingredients. It does contain gelatine and sulphites.
Why it suits this profile: Ideal for cat owners who want to manage portions, treat times and a long-lasting multipack in an organised way.
The multipack contains 20 sticks of 14 grams. The portions are therefore easier to manage than a large pack that needs to be opened and resealed repeatedly.
According to the product information, the snack contains 91% moisture and chicken as its main ingredient. It remains complementary food and does not replace complete cat food.
Why it suits this profile: Handy for training or several daily reward moments, thanks to the small bites and four chicken varieties.
The product information lists the 64-gram portion size, four varieties and the nutritional values. This helps you enjoy variety without losing control over the quantity.
16 portions, 82% moisture and, according to the product information, no artificial colourings or preservatives. A snack, not a complete meal.
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.
It depends on the product and the offer. Always compare the price per 100 grams, per item or per portion. Multipacks may have a lower price per item, while individual bags are more convenient if you want to try a flavour first. Also take delivery costs and the minimum order quantity into account.
The shelf life is stated on the packaging. Once opened, dry confectionery such as liquorice, gummies and wafers may mainly lose their texture if the bag is not sealed properly. Soft dog treats and liquid cat snacks sometimes have a short usage period after opening. Always follow the manufacturer’s storage advice.
First check the animal species, life stage, composition and recommended quantity. Confirm whether the product is complementary pet food and adjust the main meal if necessary. If you are unsure about allergies, weight, age or a specific diet, it is best to discuss the product with a vet first.
