Common mistakes

  • Assuming all chocolate egg cakes are the same

    Cocoa decoration, a milk coating and a cream filling are in different places in the cake, and may involve different ingredients and nutritional values.

    Read the product description and ingredients list before choosing a variety.

  • Relying only on the online ingredients list

    Albert Heijn points out that product information can change. This is particularly important if you need to check for allergens.

  • Not accounting for heat during transport

    The product information for Bolletje Crumbly Egg Cakes with Milk Coating says they should be protected from heat.
