If you’re looking for chocolate flakes for one person, first decide whether you want a box to use over several occasions or individually wrapped portions. The online supermarket products described here come in 200 to 300 g boxes. Then compare the ingredients, how much you’re likely to use and the terms and conditions for your grocery order.
You’ll want to choose a pack size that suits how often you eat chocolate flakes. Albert Heijn lists a 200 g box of De Ruijter Chocoladevlokken Puur with 13 portions; PLUS says a 200 g box of Choca Vlokkenmix contains around 13 portions.
You’ll want to check the ingredients and allergens for the exact variety before ordering. The pure flakes and mixed flakes described here differ in their declarations of soya, milk and wheat, among other things.
You’re adding a box to your usual grocery shop and want to know whether your order meets the delivery requirements. Check the terms and conditions of the supermarket you’re ordering from.
First, decide what you mean by an individual portion; then compare the ingredients and check how the box fits into your grocery order.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important to? |
|---|---|---|
| Packaging and use | Check the pack size, the stated number of portions and whether the portions are individually wrapped. | If I’m the only one eating the flakes, I want a box that suits how often I eat them. For around 33% of consumers, the quantity is the most important factor. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients list and allergen information for your chosen variety, including on the pack you receive. | If there are ingredients I need to avoid, I don’t want to rely on the flavour name alone. Around 42% of consumers make this their priority. |
| Delivery order | Check the minimum order, delivery slot and any additional delivery requirements. | I want to have a box of chocolate flakes delivered with my other groceries without running into problems with the order requirements. This is the main consideration for around 25% of consumers. |
A 200 or 300 g box isn’t the same as an individually wrapped portion. The 13 portions listed by Albert Heijn for De Ruijter Puur are all in one box.
Before choosing, decide whether you want to order one product, need a smaller box or require individually wrapped portions.
The word ‘pure’ doesn’t tell you by itself which allergens may be present. For De Ruijter Chocoladevlokken Puur, Albert Heijn lists soya and warns that the product may contain milk.
Check the ingredients, allergens and any ‘may contain’ information for the specific variety on the pack you receive.
If a supermarket has a minimum order requirement, you may not be able to place an order for delivery with just one box.
Add the chocolate flakes to your usual grocery shop and check the delivery slot and current order requirements before you check out.
