Choose individually wrapped bags if you want something to take with you without any preparation; a larger bag is a good option if you’re happy to weigh and pack portions at home. A serving size on the nutrition table doesn’t mean there are individual bags inside: check the contents, serving size and allergens for the exact product.
You want to take an individually wrapped savoury snack with your lunch, without having to portion it out from a multipack first. Check the weight of each individual bag. Bidfood and Makro list a Duyvis Provençale box containing 20 bags of 45 g each.
You prepare your lunch at home and can weigh out and pack portions of coated peanuts. A larger bag is a different option from individual snack bags, so think about how you’ll store the remainder once it’s opened.
You want to match the amount you eat to the nutritional information or take specific allergens into account. Compare the exact flavour and product, not just the brand.
Bidfood and Makro list Duyvis Provençale in 20 individual bags of 45 g each; Jumbo describes a 125 g bag of Duyvis with an average serving size of 30 g.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Ready to take with you | Check the number of individual bags and the weight of each one, not just the total box weight. | If I want to get my lunch ready without weighing or packing anything else, I look for individual bags; around 31% of consumers prioritise being able to take something with them without preparation. |
| Amount per eating occasion | Compare the nutritional information per 100 g on the same basis, then consider how much you’ll actually eat. | If I want to decide for myself how much to take, I check the nutritional information for that portion; around 25% of consumers make the amount and its nutritional information their main priority. |
| Enough for several lunches | Check the total contents and whether you can divide the bag into portions yourself. | If I want to take the snack with me on several days, I want to be able to portion a larger pack easily; around 19% of consumers prioritise having enough for several lunches. |
| Flavour | Check the flavour and pack type of the exact product. | If I want a particular flavour with my lunch, I take that preference into account alongside the pack size; around 13% of consumers prioritise their preferred flavour. |
| Allergens and dietary requirements | Read the ingredients, highlighted allergens and warnings on the pack for your chosen flavour. | If I need to avoid certain ingredients, what’s in the product matters more than the flavour or packaging; around 12% of consumers make personal allergen or dietary requirements the deciding factor. |
