Choose individual boxes if you want to take or share small portions without weighing them out. A larger pack is a better fit if you want to prepare your own portions and use it as a store-cupboard staple at home. One Jumbo box examined contains 0.3 g of protein per 14 g, so consider dried fruit after intense exercise as part of your overall diet. The Voedingscentrum recommends no more than 20 g of dried fruit a day; this general advice is not a personal sports nutrition plan.
Individual boxes are handy if you want to pop portions into your gym bag without weighing them out. According to Jumbo, the Jumbo box examined contains 0.3 g of protein per 14 g, so also consider the rest of your diet after intense exercise.
If you’re looking for portions for several people or lunchboxes, compare the number of boxes, the amount in each box and the ingredients in the exact variant.
A larger pack is a good fit for home use and pre-weighed portions. Compare pack sizes and store opened raisins in a cool, dry, dark place in a tightly sealed container, as advised by the Voedingscentrum.
A good fit if: you want to take or hand out small portions straight away. AH Hamsterchef has 10 boxes of 14 g; Jumbo Snoep Rozijntjes Doosjes 14 Stuks has 14 boxes of 14 g.
Bear in mind: the number of boxes varies, although the portion size is the same in the variants mentioned.
A good fit if: you’d like a box containing a fruit mix. AH Hamsterchef Rozijnen en stukjes abrikoos comes in 10 boxes of 14 g.
Bear in mind: according to Albert Heijn, this variant contains sulphur dioxide, listed as E220 and sulphite. Check the ingredients if sulphites are relevant to you.
A good fit if: you keep a supply at home and want to weigh out your own portions. The pack sizes mentioned are 375 g at PLUS, 500 g at ALDI and 750 g at Dirk.
Bear in mind: you’ll need to prepare the portions yourself and seal the opened pack properly.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who is this most relevant to? |
|---|---|---|
| Individual portions | Count the boxes and check the weight of each one. The AH and Jumbo variants mentioned each contain 14 g portions. | If I want to take or share portions after exercising, I don’t want to have to weigh them out each time. For around 33% of consumers, taking snacks with them and sharing them is their main buying priority. |
| How it fits with your diet | Check the nutritional value per portion. Jumbo lists 0.3 g of protein per 14 g box; the Voedingscentrum emphasises the importance of enough protein after intense exercise. | After an intense workout, I want to consider this snack as part of my overall diet, not just the information on the pack. For around 27% of consumers, how a product fits their nutritional needs comes first. |
| Storage and portioning | Compare the pack size with the number of portions you actually want to prepare. Store opened raisins in a cool, dry, dark place in a tightly sealed container, as advised by the Voedingscentrum. | For home and my gym bag, I want to match the amount I have in stock to what I use and be able to make my own portions. For around 20% of consumers, stocking up and portioning food themselves is their main consideration. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients and allergen information for the exact variant. Albert Heijn lists E220/sulphite in the apricot variant; Jumbo mentions the possible presence of nuts, milk and soya, among other things. | If I’m sharing boxes, I want to know which ingredients and allergen warnings apply to the people eating with me. For around 20% of consumers, ingredient suitability and flavour come first. |
The Jumbo box examined contains 0.3 g of protein per 14 g. The packaging or the time you eat it does not, by itself, mean it meets all your nutritional needs after intense exercise.
Check the nutritional value per portion and consider the rest of your diet too.
According to Albert Heijn, the AH apricot variant contains sulphur dioxide, listed as E220 and sulphite. Even natural variants may carry a warning about the possible presence of allergens.
Read the information on the exact pack before sharing the boxes, especially if anyone has a food allergy or sensitivity to sulphites.
A 375, 500 or 750 g bag is a different format to 10 or 14 individual boxes.
Work out how many portions you want from a pack and choose a pack size that matches how much you expect to use.
Portioning it yourself takes preparation and may require separate storage containers. A larger supply could also go unused if you buy more than you get through.
A notice from Productwaarschuwing.nl dated 15 November 2025, which names Jumbo as its source, applies specifically to Jumbo Snoeprozijntjes with barcode 8718452534326 and best-before date (THT) 28-07-2026. That date has passed, but the warning concerns the batch mentioned, not all Jumbo raisins.
Do not eat the named product if you still have it. Check both the barcode and the best-before date against the batch information.
The Hamsterchef range includes natural raisins and a variant with apricot pieces, both in individual boxes.
Jumbo Snoep Rozijntjes Doosjes 14 Stuks is a multipack of individual portions of natural raisins.
Belbake Rozijnen is a relevant product range to compare if you’re looking for raisins.
The Trader Joe's raisins mentioned come in a larger pack for home use and portioning yourself.
PLUS Sultana raisins in a 375 g stand-up pouch are a good fit for home use and portioning yourself.
The 750 g pack of raisins mentioned is a larger-size pack to portion yourself.
Consider the rest of your diet too. According to Jumbo, the Jumbo box of 14 g examined contains 0.3 g of protein; the Voedingscentrum emphasises that you need enough protein after intense exercise. So a box of raisins is not, on its own, a complete source of protein.
Add up the portions of dried fruit you eat. The Voedingscentrum recommends no more than 20 g a day; two of the 14 g boxes examined add up to 28 g, which exceeds that general recommendation. This is nutritional guidance, not a legal limit.
No. Check the information on the exact pack. For the natural multipack examined, Jumbo mentions the possible presence of various nuts, milk and soya. The NVWA explains that any allergens required to be declared must be clearly distinguished in the ingredients list.
Look at the pack weight and the number of portions you need. A multipack contains individual boxes; with a larger bag, you’ll need to weigh out portions yourself and seal the pack properly after opening.
Store raisins in a cool, dry, dark place in a tightly sealed container, as advised by the Voedingscentrum. The Voedingscentrum’s storage guide recommends keeping opened raisins in a kitchen cupboard for 6–9 months; also follow the instructions on the pack and check the raisins before use.
