When ordering online, first choose a crispbread with grains, allergens and nutritional values that suit your needs. Compare fibre and salt values per 100 g. If you need to follow a strict gluten-free diet, choose a product explicitly labelled gluten-free; a standard wholegrain variety containing rye, wheat or barley is not suitable. Crispbread is not a treatment for digestive problems. When your order arrives, check the current packaging and store the product in a dry, sealed container.
You’re looking for crispbread to enjoy every day and want to know which grains it contains and how much fibre it provides per 100 g. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre describes fibre as part of a varied diet, but choosing a particular crispbread won’t resolve digestive problems.
For you, the gluten-free label is essential. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre also recommends checking the ingredients and any warnings about possible cross-contamination on the label when following a strict gluten-free diet.
You compare pack size, nutritional values and allergens before ordering several packs. When your order arrives, check that the packaging is intact and find out how to reseal the crispbread after opening.
First, decide which grains and allergens are deal-breakers for you. Then compare fibre and salt on the same per-100 g basis. Choose a pack size once you know how you’ll store it after delivery.
| What to consider | What to check | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Fibre and grains | Compare fibre per 100 g and check which grains are actually wholegrain. | I want to eat wholegrain products more often and find a variety whose fibre content I can compare. This is the top priority for an estimated 42% of shoppers. |
| Gluten and allergens | If you follow a strict gluten-free diet, look for an explicit gluten-free label. Also check the allergens and warnings on the packaging. | If I need to avoid gluten, I can’t rely on the word wholegrain or the type of grain used. Suitability for this diet comes first for around 17% of shoppers. |
| Salt and ingredients | Compare salt values per 100 g and read the ingredients list for the variety you’ve chosen. | When varieties look similar at first glance, I want to know what they contain besides the grains. An estimated 25% of shoppers give this comparison top priority. |
| Packaging and storage | Compare pack sizes and follow the storage instructions. When your order arrives, check that the packaging is dry and intact. | When I order crispbread to keep in stock, I want to be able to seal the opened pack properly. This is the main consideration for around 16% of shoppers. |
According to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, a sudden increase in fibre can initially make symptoms worse. What a product says on the packaging also doesn’t tell you how it will affect your individual symptoms.
Compare fibre content as part of your overall diet, and increase your intake of high-fibre products gradually if you’re not used to them.

If you follow a strict gluten-free diet, choose only products explicitly labelled gluten-free and read all the allergen information.
Crispbread varieties can differ in their grains, fibre and salt content. A larger pack tells you nothing about what’s in it.
