A multipack of chocolate cereal suits a household that gets through it regularly and can finish the pack in good time. Choose between muesli, granola and cereal rings based on what you actually want to eat. Compare the nutritional information per 100 g and check the ingredients and allergens for the specific variety. A multipack won’t automatically suit everyone at the table.
If chocolate cereal is on the table several mornings a week, a larger bag could suit your needs. ALDI, Albert Heijn and Jumbo each list a 900 g chocolate muesli. Before you buy, consider whether you’ll finish it while it still tastes good.
If you eat the same product regularly, differences in sugars, fibre, fat and salt per 100 g are relevant to your choice. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends comparing similar products on a per-100 g basis, rather than looking only at the front of the pack.
If you have an allergy or a specific dietary requirement, check the variety you’ve chosen rather than relying on information about the product category as a whole. Read the ingredients, allergen information and any may-contain warning on the current packaging.
First decide which type of cereal and what quantity suit your household. Then compare the nutritional information for similar products and check the ingredients and allergen information on the packaging.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who does this matter most to? |
|---|---|---|
| Pack size and how quickly you’ll finish it | Compare the weight and number of packs. Think about how many breakfasts your household will get out of them. | If the bag will be on the table for several mornings, I want an amount we can finish. Around 33% of consumers prioritise having the right amount in stock. |
| Nutritional information | For similar products, compare the sugars, fibre, fat and salt per 100 g. | When I eat the same cereal often, I want to know what it contains per 100 g. Around 33% of consumers prioritise this nutritional comparison. |
| Allergens and dietary requirements | Read the ingredients, allergen information and any may-contain warnings for the variety you’ve chosen. | If someone at home has an allergy, I need to know whether this particular pack is suitable. For around 20% of consumers, this check is the first requirement. |
| Convenience | Consider whether individual packs, storage instructions and purchasing options suit the way you use the product. | If I want to take cereal with me or enjoy a bit of variety, the packaging matters more. Around 14% of consumers put convenience first. |
Those words don’t tell you how the overall nutritional value of two products compares. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends comparing similar cereals per 100 g.
Compare the sugars, fibre, fat and salt in the nutrition table for the varieties you’re considering.
A familiar type of product doesn’t tell you enough about the ingredients in a particular variety. This is especially important if someone in your household has an allergy.
Check the current label every time you buy, including the allergen information and any may-contain warning.
