Choose a 2-pack if you want to split two separate boxes of chocolate flakes between fellow travellers or several lunches: the De Ruijter packs reviewed at Albert Heijn each contain two separate 200 g boxes, not individual portions. If you just want one box in your travel bag, a single 200 g or 300 g pack will do; whichever you choose, check the label, seal the pack properly and dispose of any rubbish responsibly.
Are you preparing sandwiches for more than one traveller or for several lunch breaks? The De Ruijter 2-packs sold by Albert Heijn contain two separate 200 g boxes. You can split the boxes between you, but you’ll need to portion out the flakes yourself for an individual sandwich lunch.
If you only want to take one flavour, compare a single pack with two boxes of the same flavour. Check the total quantity and consider whether you’ll use both boxes; a 300 g pack is not a multipack.
If ingredients, allergens or nutritional information are important to your travelling companions, choose based on the exact product variant. Flavours and ingredients can vary, so check the packaging you’re actually taking with you.
First decide whether you want to share out two boxes or only need one pack. Then check the quantity in each box and the label for your chosen flavour.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who is it important to? |
|---|---|---|
| Sharing | Check the number of boxes and the quantity in each; two boxes are not individual lunch portions. | If I’m preparing sandwiches for two travellers or for several days, I want to split the supply between separate boxes. Around 42% of consumers say this is their main priority. |
| Quantity | Compare the total quantity in a 2-pack with that of a single 200 g or 300 g pack. | If I’m taking one flavour, I’d rather not bring more boxes than I need. The right quantity is the top priority for around 33% of consumers. |
| Label and transport | Read the ingredients and allergen information for the exact variant; also check how to reseal the box once it’s open. | If anyone travelling with me has dietary requirements, I want to be able to check the label and carry the box neatly. This is the main priority for around 25% of consumers. |
The De Ruijter 2-packs reviewed at Albert Heijn come as two standard 200 g boxes. One box isn’t automatically the right amount for one lunch.
Check the quantity in each box and only add the amount you need to your sandwiches or to a suitable container for taking with you.
Ingredients can vary between product variants. For example, Albert Heijn lists cereals containing gluten, wheat and soya for De Ruijter Vlokfeest 200 g; the product may contain milk.
Read the current label on the exact pack you’re taking with you, even if you’re already familiar with another product from the same brand.
If a box isn’t properly closed, flakes can spill into your bag. The storage instructions for De Ruijter Witte Vlokken at PLUS say to store in a cool, dry place and press the packaging closed after use.
Close the box before you leave, keep it dry and hold on to any rubbish until you reach a bin. NS asks passengers to put rubbish in the bin.
