Choose a 2-pack if you want to split the packs between different mealtimes or locations. The De Ruijter 2-packs at Albert Heijn are supplied as two separate packs, not as individual snack portions. If one shared supply is enough, compare the contents of a single pack with those of the multipack, and check the ingredients, allergens and storage instructions for the variant you choose.
If you want to have chocolate flakes in two places during the autumn half-term, a multipack with two separate packs could be handy. Albert Heijn says that De Ruijter 2-packs are supplied as two separate packs; they are not individually wrapped lunchbox portions.
If everyone is eating from the same pack, a single 300 g pack is an alternative to a multipack. Compare the net contents of each pack and the total contents before you decide.
If the ingredients are the deciding factor, checking the specific variant should come before choosing a flavour or pack type. Read the ingredients, allergens and any warnings on the packaging.
First, decide whether you need two separate packs or one shared supply. Then check the contents and the packaging information for the exact variant you want to buy.
| What to consider | What to check | Who it's important for |
|---|---|---|
| Separate packs | Check the number of packs and the contents of each one. A 2-pack containing separate packs is not a pack of snack portions. | If I want to split the chocolate flakes between home and a holiday address, I need two separate packs. This is the top priority for around 46% of consumers. |
| One shared supply | Compare the net contents of a single pack with the total contents of the multipack. | If we can all eat from one pack, I mainly want to know how many chocolate flakes I'll have for the planned mealtimes. Having one shared supply is the main concern for around 36% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients, highlighted allergens and any warnings on the packaging of the variant you choose. | If someone eating with us needs to avoid certain ingredients, I want to check the exact variant before buying it. This check matters most to around 18% of consumers. |
Albert Heijn describes De Ruijter 2-packs as separate packs. Two standard packs are not the same as individually wrapped portions for lunchboxes.
Choose the multipack if you want to split the packs between locations. If you want to take a small amount with you, use a clean, airtight container.
According to PLUS product information, Choca Vlokken contains wheat and soya and may contain milk. PLUS Chocoladevlokken puur may contain milk and lactose, even though this variant is labelled vegan.
Check the ingredients, allergens and warnings on the packaging of the variant you choose; don't rely on the product name or a vegan label alone.

Check availability at the store where you plan to shop, especially if you're buying groceries just before you leave.

Follow the storage instructions on the packaging for your variant. Jumbo says to store De Ruijter dark and Royaal in a cool, dry place; PLUS says to store its dark chocolate flakes in a cool, dry, dark place.
Use online information to choose a product, but check the packaging of the variant you select before using it. According to information for businesses from the Dutch government's Ondernemersplein, the label on prepacked food must list its ingredients and allergens.
No, that label alone isn't enough to confirm that it is. PLUS's product page calls the dark variant vegan, but also says it may contain milk and lactose. So read the allergen warning on the packaging.
