Campers comparing fibre content
You’re taking crispbread as a bread alternative and want to know how much fibre each type contains. Check the nutrition information per 100 g: Albert Heijn lists 20 g of fibre per 100 g for Wasa Volkoren.
Who is this choice relevant to?
Campers on a gluten-free diet
Rye crispbread isn’t a standard choice for you. Look for an explicit gluten-free label and read the full allergen information. Albert Heijn labels Schär Hafer knäckebrot as gluten-free; it contains oats.
Campers replacing bread for several days
If crispbread often takes the place of bread, it’s also worth checking whether iodised salt or baker’s salt is listed. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre points out that bakers aren’t required to use baker’s salt.
What should you look for when buying?
First, work out which ingredients you can eat. Then compare the nutrition information and choose a pack you can keep dry while camping.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Fibre and wholemeal content | Compare fibre per 100 g and check the wholemeal label. | For breakfast at the campsite, I want crispbread with a fibre content I can compare. For around 37% of consumers, choosing based on fibre is the top priority. |
| Keeping it dry | Check the storage instructions and choose a pack that fits in your dry food box. | I want to prevent my crispbread from getting damp or breaking in transit. Keeping it dry and intact is a priority for around 27% of consumers. |
| Gluten and allergens | Read the ingredients and allergen information; look for an explicit gluten-free label if needed. | If I need to avoid gluten, the labelling determines which type I can take. For around 18% of consumers, avoiding gluten or another allergen is the first consideration. |
| Iodine when replacing bread | If you’re regularly replacing bread, check whether iodised salt or baker’s salt is listed on the label. | When I eat little bread for several days, I don’t want to assume that all crispbread contains iodised salt. For around 18% of consumers, checking the label is a priority. |
Common mistakes when using crispbread on a camping trip
-
Assuming all crispbread is wholemeal
The name crispbread doesn’t tell you how much wholemeal flour or fibre it contains. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre distinguishes between products made entirely from wholemeal flour and other grain products.
Check the wholemeal label and compare the fibre per 100 g in the nutrition information.
-
Choosing a rye variety without checking the allergens
Rye contains gluten. Sesame may also be an ingredient in varieties with seeds.
Read the current packaging; if you’re on a gluten-free diet, only choose a product explicitly labelled gluten-free.
-
Storing an opened pack somewhere damp
Albert Heijn advises storing Wasa Volkoren and Leksands Original in a cool, dry place. Moisture is a problem if you want to keep your crispbread crunchy.
Once opened, store the pack in a dry, airtight container at the campsite.
-
Assuming every pack contains iodine
According to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, using baker’s salt is not compulsory. So you can’t assume crispbread contains iodised salt based on the product category alone.
Check the ingredients for iodised salt or baker’s salt if crispbread is replacing bread for several days.

Frequently asked questions
Can you tell how much fibre crispbread contains from its name?
No. Compare the fibre per 100 g in the nutrition information for the varieties you’re considering. The wholemeal label and the stated fibre content answer different questions about a product.
How should you store crispbread while camping?
Follow the storage advice on the packaging and keep an opened pack dry. Albert Heijn advises storing Wasa Volkoren and Leksands Original in a cool, dry place; an airtight, dry container helps protect an opened pack from moisture and breakage.
Is rye crispbread suitable for a gluten-free diet?
No, not if the product contains rye: rye is a gluten-containing grain. Choose crispbread explicitly labelled gluten-free, and also check the ingredients and allergen information for that particular variety.
Does crispbread always contain iodine from baker’s salt?
No. According to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, bakers aren’t required to use baker’s salt. Check the label for iodised salt or baker’s salt, especially if crispbread often replaces bread during your stay.
