Buying snacks online seems simple: choose a flavour, compare the price and place your order. However, there are several pitfalls that can make a product less suitable for your needs. For example, a large pack may appear to offer better value, while you are mainly paying for lots of individual portions that you will not consume in time. Terms such as “reduced sugar”, “artisan” or “high protein” can also create a different impression from the full ingredients list.
These practical checks will help you compare sweet snacks, savoury snacks, international snacks, biscuits, chocolate, sweets, nuts and dried fruit and other products in a sensible way.
Do not just compare the total price. Also check the price per 100 grams or per portion. A multipack can be useful for a party or office, but less suitable if you only want a small snack occasionally. With a snack box, it is also important to check how many individual products you actually receive and what the total weight is.
A description such as “reduced sugar” does not automatically mean that a product contains little sugar. Check the nutritional information per 100 grams and per portion. HSU FU CHI Sachima, for example, is described as having a reduced-sugar recipe; the product information also states that it contains 3.2 grams of sugars per 100 grams. Always check the current packaging, as ingredients and labelling may change.
Terms such as “artisan”, “premium” or “natural” are not a substitute for checking the ingredients either. Stegeman Fuet Multipack, for example, lists 42 grams of fat and 4.5 grams of salt per 100 grams. This may make it suitable for a sharing platter, but the nutritional values are important if you want to plan your portions.
When buying online, you do not always have the packaging in front of you. Before ordering, check:
For chilled or perishable products, the information on the packaging takes precedence. Do not use damaged packaging and follow the manufacturer’s storage instructions.
For snacks on the go, individually wrapped bars, small bags or portion packs are practical. Hero Protein Peanuts and Chocolate comes as four individually wrapped bars. A 200-gram bag, such as Verkade Maria Biscuits, is more suitable with coffee or tea, or for sharing at home.
For a birthday or film night, you can combine several smaller packs instead. This prevents one strong flavour from dominating the whole selection.
First decide what you are buying the snack for:
According to the product information, BENTO Mixed Seafood Snack Namprik Thai Original has a spicy, savoury flavour profile and contains fish, squid, prawns and shellfish. This makes checking the allergens particularly important.
Compare the values per 100 grams when assessing products side by side. Look at:
For snacks containing nuts, such as Bars Nuts and Seeds, the listed ingredients include oats, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, almonds, sesame and hazelnuts. The product information also states that traces of peanuts may be present. Read the full allergen declaration rather than relying only on the front of the packaging.
Why it suits this profile: The familiar packaging and clear 200-gram size make this an easy choice with coffee or tea, or for sharing at snack time.
The 200-gram size is easier to assess than a large mixed pack. The allergen information lists milk and wheat/gluten.
200 grams; suitable with coffee and tea; product information lists 438 kcal and 20.3 grams of sugars per 100 grams.
Why it suits this profile: This dried pork sausage is a good choice for shoppers looking for a savoury snack for a sharing platter or party.
The multipack has a clearly stated total weight of 120 grams. The product information lists milk as an allergen and warns that traces of nuts may be present.
120 grams; protective atmosphere; once opened, store in the fridge for up to 10 days, according to the product information.
Why it suits this profile: Dog owners often look for an easy-to-portion reward for training or between meals.
The product information clearly states that this is complementary pet food for adult dogs and does not replace a complete meal.
Bacon flavour; suitable as a treat or reward; nutritional information lists 15.7% protein and 5.7% fat.
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.
Use this quick check before buying snacks online:
It depends on the price per 100 grams, delivery costs and any bundle discount. Large multipacks are not automatically better value. Compare the same unit of measurement and consider whether you will actually use all the portions.
Individually wrapped bars, small bags of crisps, dried fruit, nut mixes and small international snacks are practical for taking on the go. In warm weather, take care with chocolate and products that the label says must be kept cool.
Check that the product is described as complementary pet food for dogs. Follow the recommended amount, take your dog’s total daily food intake into account and make sure fresh water is always available. Keep the packaging out of the reach of children and pets.
