For a work meeting, choose crispbread in a pack size that suits the group, but first check which ingredients and allergens are relevant to those attending. If wholegrain is important, you can then compare the ingredients and nutritional information of the remaining options; the product name alone doesn’t tell you everything about what’s in it.
Wants to choose a pack size that suits the number of attendees and whatever else will be served. The own-brand options mentioned from Albert Heijn, Jumbo and ALDI each contain 375 g; how many packs you need depends on how the crispbread will be used during the meeting.
Asks attendees in advance about relevant food allergies or dietary requirements. Wheat, rye and sesame feature in the options mentioned, but ingredients and warnings vary from pack to pack.
Wants to know which grains are in the chosen crispbread and, if needed, compares the nutritional information per 100 g. This is a separate consideration from the pack size and whether it’s suitable for those attending.
Start with what the attendees can eat. Then choose a pack size to suit the group and, if you prefer wholegrain, compare the specific options.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who is this most important to? |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity | Check the amount in each pack and work out how much crispbread you’ll need alongside the other food. | If I’m buying for the whole group, I want to put enough on the table without basing my decision solely on the number of packs. Around 42% of consumers say the quantity they need is their top priority. |
| Allergens | Ask about attendees’ requirements and read the ingredients and any warnings on the current packaging. | If someone needs to avoid certain ingredients, I want to choose an option that suits them. For around 33% of consumers, this suitability matters most. |
| Wholegrain and fibre | Check which grains are listed in the ingredients and compare the nutritional information per 100 g. | I want to offer a wholegrain option and understand what that description means for this product. This composition is the top priority for around 25% of consumers. |
Wholegrain crispbread can contain cereals that contain gluten. Sesame and warnings about the possible presence of other allergens may also be relevant for some options.
Check wholegrain preferences and allergen requirements separately against the current packaging.
According to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, using bakers’ salt in bread is not compulsory. So don’t assume a standard recipe based on the product category.
If bakers’ salt is relevant to your choice, check whether it’s listed on the label of the specific crispbread.
