Shoppers who want to split up their weekly supplies
Would you like to use one pack at home and keep the other sealed? The De Ruijter 2-packs shown by Albert Heijn are supplied as two separate packs.
Who might find these pack sizes useful?
Shoppers comparing pack sizes
If you regularly use chocolate flakes as a bread topping, you could compare two 200 g packs with a single 300 g pack. Think about how much your household will use during the week.
Households planning for different tastes
If people in your household prefer different flakes for breakfast or lunch, check the exact variety in each pack. The category shown by Jumbo includes milk chocolate, dark chocolate and mixed varieties.
What should you consider when choosing?
First decide whether you need two separate packs or would rather use one larger pack. Then choose a variety that suits everyone who’ll be eating it.
| What to consider | What to check | Who should consider this? |
|---|---|---|
| Splitting up your weekly supplies | Check the number of packs and the contents of each one. For the De Ruijter 2-packs reviewed, Albert Heijn lists two separate packs of 200 g each. | I want to use one pack during the week and keep the other sealed. For around 40% of consumers, splitting up their weekly supplies is the top priority. |
| Amount per pack | Compare the total contents with the amount in a single pack; Jumbo also lists its own 300 g chocolate flakes options. | If one pack is enough for what we’ll use this week, I don’t need two separate packs. Around 30% of consumers give the amount per pack the highest priority. |
| Flavour and ingredients | Check the exact variety of flakes and read the current label for ingredients and allergens. | When people around the breakfast table have different preferences, I don’t want to choose based on pack size alone.

Assuming a 2-pack is one large pack
According to Albert Heijn, the De Ruijter white and milk chocolate flakes reviewed are supplied as two separate packs. This matters if you want to keep one pack sealed or split up your supplies.
Read the pack description and check that the number of separate packs suits how you plan to use them.

Relying on the label from a pack you bought before
Ingredients and allergens can vary between varieties, and product information may change. Information for one type of flakes doesn’t automatically apply to another.
If you have allergies or other dietary requirements, check the label on the pack you’re actually going to use.

Frequently asked questions
Is a De Ruijter 2-pack at Albert Heijn one large pack?
No. According to Albert Heijn, the white and milk chocolate flakes reviewed are supplied as two separate 200 g packs. If you’re looking at a different variety, check the pack description again.
When should I choose two packs rather than one larger pack?
Two packs are useful if you want to split up your weekly supplies or keep one pack sealed. If you’d rather use one pack, check whether a larger pack contains the right amount for your expected use.
How should I store chocolate flakes for later in the week?
Follow the storage instructions on the pack you choose. The product information shown by Jumbo for De Ruijter Flakes Royaal says to store the pack in a cool, dry place and press it closed carefully after use. Don’t assume this advice applies to other varieties without checking.
Can I rely on the allergen information on an older pack?
No. Check the label on the pack you’re actually using. Albert Heijn says product information may change, and the ingredient information for one variety of flakes won’t necessarily apply to another.
