Families who want to share snacks on the go
Looking for enough in one pack for several snack breaks, while avoiding crispbread that goes soft or breaks once the pack is open.
Who is this for?
Shoppers comparing wholegrain and fibre
Look beyond pack size and check the product name, ingredients and nutritional information for each variety, including fibre and salt per 100 g.
Travellers with dietary or allergy requirements
Need a specific product variety and check the full allergen information and warnings about possible traces, even when the product name seems suitable.
What should you look for when choosing?
Decide how many people will share the pack and which nutritional or allergy requirements matter most. Then consider whether you can keep your chosen pack dry and protected once it’s open.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who is it important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Pack size and sharing | Compare the net weight and consider how you’ll keep the crispbread dry and protected after opening. | If several family members will share one pack, I want to take enough without the rest breaking during the journey. This is the top priority for around 33% of consumers. |
| Wholegrain and fibre | Check the wholegrain claim and compare fibre and salt per 100 g on the label. | I’d rather choose based on the type of grain and fibre content than the largest pack. This nutritional information matters most to around 27% of consumers. |
| Allergens and dietary requirements | Check the current ingredients, allergens and warnings about possible traces for the exact variety. | If someone in the family needs to avoid an ingredient, the pack you choose must be suitable, even if the product name mentions a dietary feature. This suitability is the main concern for around 20% of consumers. |
| Availability and planning | Check which variety is available from your chosen retailer and whether the pack size suits your planned snack breaks. | I want to be able to pick up crispbread before we set off, without relying on finding a particular shop on the way. This practical planning also makes the difference for around 20% of consumers. |
Common mistakes
-
Assuming ‘high in fibre’ suits every preference
The fibre content doesn’t tell you which allergens a variety contains or how much salt it has per 100 g. ‘High in fibre’ and ‘wholegrain’ also describe different things.
Compare the ingredients and full nutritional information of the varieties you’re considering.
-
Leaving a large pack loose in the car
Once opened, crispbread needs to stay dry, and the slices can easily break during travel.
Pack the slices you need in a sturdy, sealable container or bag, and store the rest according to the instructions on the packaging.
-
Taking a dietary claim to mean the product is free from all allergens
According to Jumbo’s product information, Wasa Gluten- & Lactose-Free Sesame & Sea Salt contains sesame and may contain milk, soya and mustard. So a claim in the product name doesn’t replace checking for other allergens.
Before buying, read the current allergen information for the exact variety you plan to take with you.

Keep it dry and protect the slices from breaking. The storage advice in the Wasa product listings on Joybuy recommends a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat, and sealing the pack well after opening. A sturdy, sealable container can help.
