Common mistakes when stocking up
-
Taking a search result for ‘multipack’ as confirmation of the pack size
Albert Heijn and Jumbo list De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes as a 270 g pack. The search term alone doesn’t tell you how many packs you’ll receive.
If a bundle is offered, check the current product title, the number of packs and the quantity in each pack before deciding how much to stock up on.
-
Checking the ingredients only after stocking up
Jumbo lists wheat starch as an ingredient and wheat and cereals containing gluten as allergens. This matters if you need to avoid these ingredients, regardless of how many packs you have in the cupboard.
Read the ingredients and allergen information on the current pack before using the product.
-
Buying extra packs without planning for storage and best-before dates
Stocking up only makes sense if you can store the packs in a dry place and keep an eye on the best-before date on each one.
Choose the number of individual packs to suit how quickly you use them, and check the date on each pack separately.
