Budget-conscious shoppers
You’re topping up a small store cupboard and want to compare packs without buying more crispbread than you’ll use.
Who is this for?
Shoppers comparing nutritional information
You choose based on the stated grains and fibre per 100 g, as well as the quantity in the pack. Jumbo and Wasa Nederland publish this information for the variants they list.
Shoppers checking ingredients
You want to know which grains and allergens a variant contains, or check the label for baker’s salt if that matters to your choice.
What should you look for when choosing?
First, decide how much crispbread you want to buy. Then compare the nutritional information and ingredients of the variants that come in a suitable pack size.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity | Compare the net weight and choose a pack whose contents you can use. | If I want to top up my supplies without buying too much, I don’t want to choose a pack that’s bigger than I need. Around 33% of consumers put keeping their shopping within budget first. |
| Grains and fibre | Read the ingredients and compare the fibre per 100 g in the nutritional information. | If I’m looking for wholegrains or a specific fibre content, I want to be able to compare these on the pack. Around 27% of consumers give this the highest priority. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the allergen information for the exact variant. If needed, also check whether baker’s salt is listed among the ingredients. | If I need to avoid certain grains or seeds, the ingredients in this particular pack must be clear. Around 20% of consumers put this check first. |
| Availability | Check current stock and read the storage instructions on the pack. | If I want to top up my supplies straight away, a product I can’t order isn’t much use. Immediate availability is the main concern for around 20% of consumers. |
Common mistakes
-
Assuming wholemeal or high-fibre means it’s suitable for everyone
According to Jumbo, its wholemeal variant contains wheat and rye. Wasa Nederland lists rye, wheat, oats and sesame among the ingredients in Wasa Vezelrijk.
Check the ingredients and allergen information for the exact variant every time you buy, even if you already know the brand.
-
Assuming all crispbread contains baker’s salt
According to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, using baker’s salt when baking bread is not compulsory. So the product name won’t tell you whether a particular variant contains it.
Check the ingredients list for baker’s salt if it matters to your choice.
-
Assuming a product page means the item is available to order
A product page being visible doesn’t mean you can order the crispbread at that moment.
Check stock and delivery options for your location before you check out.
Otherwise, you may need to choose an alternative or put off topping up your supplies.
