If you want to take crackers with you individually, choose only a variety whose product information explicitly says that each one is individually wrapped; a stated number of pieces or portions is not proof of this. Bolletje describes its Knäckebröd Sesam Mono as individually wrapped, but also says it is not available in supermarkets; Albert Heijn lists the 72-piece pack as in-store only. For home use, a standard box may be fine if you seal the packaging properly after opening. Before ordering, check the delivery options and allergen information for your chosen variety.
For work, school or when you’re out and about, you may want to take a cracker without opening the rest of the pack. Look for an explicit statement such as ‘individually wrapped’ and check whether that exact variety can be delivered.
If you mainly eat crispbread at home for breakfast or lunch, a standard box or multipack may suit you. Check the storage instructions and seal the packaging properly after opening.
Compare the information for the exact variety you’re ordering. A label such as ‘6 Portion’ doesn’t tell you how each cracker is wrapped, and it’s no substitute for checking the ingredients and allergen warnings.
First, decide whether individually wrapped crackers are essential. If not, compare the ingredients, quantity and storage instructions after opening for the varieties available for delivery.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters most to |
|---|---|---|
| Individually wrapped | Look for ‘individually wrapped’ and check that the exact variety is available for your chosen delivery slot. | If I take crackers with me individually, I want each one to be wrapped separately, even after the outer packaging has been opened. This packaging requirement comes first for around 50% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients, allergens and any ‘may contain’ warnings for the variety you’ve chosen. | If I need to avoid an allergen, I want to be able to check the information for the exact variety I’m buying. This is the first thing around 30% of consumers look for when shopping. |
| Quantity and storage | Compare the number of pieces or individual packs and check how to store the product after opening. | For breakfast or lunch at home, I mainly need a quantity I can use and seal properly after opening. Around 20% of consumers prioritise stocking up for home. |
‘5 x 5 pieces’ or ‘6 Portion’ describes a quantity or portion size, but doesn’t necessarily mean that each cracker is individually wrapped.
Check whether it explicitly says ‘individually wrapped’, or ask the seller how the exact variety is packaged.
