Start with the ingredient or allergen you actually need to avoid, then check both the ingredients list and any warnings about possible cross-contamination. Next, compare the price per kilo with the amount you can use and store. Jumbo lists its own sultanas in several pack sizes; on the page consulted, the 750 g pack had a lower price per kilo than the 250 g pack.
You’re looking for dried fruit that fits with an ingredient or allergen you need to avoid. Check the ingredients and any cross-contamination warnings. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre emphasises the importance of label information if you have a food allergy.
You compare pack sizes and prices per kilo, and want to buy an amount you’ll actually use. Store sultanas in a cool, dry, dark place in a tightly sealed container, as advised by the Netherlands Nutrition Centre.
You’re after a small touch of sweetness for something like a salad or stamppot, not a substitute for the rest of the meal. Jumbo suggests using sultanas in these dishes; check the ingredients of the whole dish too.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Specific dietary exclusion | The relevant ingredients and warnings about possible cross-contamination. If you’re sensitive to sulphites, also look out for sulphites used as a preservative. | If I need to avoid a particular ingredient or allergen, I check the exact product before considering price or taste. Around 36% of consumers put this specific exclusion first. |
| Pack size and budget | Compare the price per kilo, net weight and the amount you’ll pay in one go. Compare products on a like-for-like basis. | If I’m keeping an eye on my food budget, I want to know the cost of the whole pack and whether I’ll use it all. Around 29% of consumers prioritise an affordable purchase they can make good use of. |
| Using it with dinner | Choose between individual fruits and a mix, and check the ingredients of both the product and the dish. | If I want to add dried fruit to a salad or stamppot, I check that its form and ingredients suit the dish. Around 21% of consumers put this use first. |
| Portions and storage | Check the amount you’ll have at each eating occasion and follow the storage advice on the pack. For sultanas, the Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises storing them in a cool, dry, dark place in a tightly sealed container. | If I buy a larger bag, I want to be able to use it over several occasions and store it properly. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends a maximum of 20 g of dried fruit a day; around 14% of consumers prioritise portion sizes and managing their supplies. |
The term alone doesn’t tell you what the product is free from. Ingredients and warnings about possible cross-contamination are separate things to check.
Identify the ingredient or allergen you need to avoid, then check the information on the pack of that exact product.
Albert Heijn’s category page also lists combinations with cashew nuts and almonds. So a mix won’t automatically be suitable for someone avoiding nuts.
Check the ingredients and any relevant warnings for the exact mix before choosing it.
The price per kilo varies by pack size in the sultana range listed by Jumbo. A larger bag does cost more upfront, though, and needs to be stored properly once opened.
Compare the price per kilo of packs in the same product range, then choose an amount you expect to use.
The historical notice from Productwaarschuwing.nl concerned Jumbo Snoeprozijntjes with barcode 8718452534326 and a best-before date of 28-07-2026. It doesn’t apply to all Jumbo sultanas. An expired date also doesn’t prove that any remaining recalled product is safe to eat.
If there’s a warning, compare the product details on your pack and check the latest safety information from the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA).

A warning like this refers to an allergen that could accidentally get into a product; it’s different from an ingredient that has been deliberately added. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA), new Dutch rules on allergen information on labels come into force on 1 January 2026. Check the information on the specific product packaging for your dietary exclusion.
