Individual boxes of raisins can work for a nursery lunch if you want to hand out or send home pre-portioned units; a larger bag is an option when the childcare setting portions it themselves. A fruit mix is a separate choice based on its ingredients: check what it contains and whether there are pieces of fruit, without assuming that this makes the mix better or safer. The Voedingscentrum recommends small portions of dried fruit and says fresh fruit is better; a 14 g box is a packaging size, not a general portion guideline for every child.
You’re buying for a group and want to be able to count and hand out pre-packed units, in line with the childcare setting’s food and hygiene policies. The Voedingscentrum explains the importance of a food policy in childcare; Jumbo lists a box pack containing individual units.
You’re looking for a small addition that fits the childcare setting’s arrangements, without automatically replacing fresh fruit with dried fruit. The Voedingscentrum recommends small portions of dried fruit and says fresh fruit is better.
You want to be able to adjust the amount for each child and can portion centrally and store opened supplies carefully. RIVM-KIDDI describes hygiene codes for childcare settings; the Voedingscentrum recommends storing raisins in a cool, dry, dark place in a tightly sealed container.
| Consideration | What should you check? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Serving safely and accounting for sensitivities | Check the ingredients and allergen information, consider the shape and firmness of any fruit pieces, and follow the childcare setting’s arrangements. The Voedingscentrum flags hard pieces of fruit as a choking risk. | When I hand out food to young children, I want to check what it contains and how it is served, while taking known sensitivities into account. Around 36% of consumers prioritise serving food safely and accounting for sensitivities. |
| Individual packs | Check the number of boxes and the weight of each one; the total weight alone doesn’t prove that a pack contains individual snack boxes. Jumbo lists 14 boxes of 14 g each. | For a lunchbox or group snack, I want to be able to count and hand out units without portioning them myself. Around 29% of consumers prioritise pre-packed units for sharing or taking along. |
| Amount and place alongside lunch | Adjust the amount to suit the eating occasion and the food policy. The Voedingscentrum recommends small portions of dried fruit; the pack weight is not nutritional advice. | If I’m packing dried fruit as a small extra, I want it to fit in with the rest of the lunch without automatically replacing fresh fruit. Around 21% of consumers prioritise a small amount and how it fits alongside lunch. |
| Portioning it yourself and storing supplies | Compare packs of the same weight and consider how many portions you’ll actually use. Also factor in the work involved in portioning, and store opened raisins in a cool, dry, dark place in a tightly sealed container, as recommended by the Voedingscentrum. | If the childcare setting wants to decide the amount itself, I want to know whether portioning and storage will fit into its daily routine. Around 14% of consumers prioritise flexible portioning and stock management. |
The packaging doesn’t replace checking the ingredients, allergen information or how the food will be served. The Voedingscentrum flags hard pieces of fruit as a choking risk; sulphites may be relevant if someone has a known sensitivity.
Check the contents and follow the childcare setting’s arrangements. Don’t let snack boxes, pictures or a child-focused product range replace those checks.
The weight on the pack is product information, not a general nutritional guideline for children. The Voedingscentrum recommends small portions of dried fruit and says fresh fruit is better.
First decide how much you want to serve and where the fruit fits in the menu; then choose a pack size.
A 375 g or 500 g bag isn’t the same as individual snack packs. When portioning it yourself, the childcare setting decides how much to serve and must store the opened supply carefully.
Check whether the pack actually contains individual portions, and follow the childcare setting’s applicable hygiene procedures when portioning food yourself.

No, the contents don’t have to be eaten as a fixed amount. The Voedingscentrum recommends small portions of dried fruit; Jumbo’s 14 g size is a packaging specification, not a general portion guideline.
No. According to the Voedingscentrum, children can also eat sulphured raisins. Sulphites are relevant for people who react sensitively to them; if there’s a known sensitivity, choose in line with the childcare setting’s arrangements.
NU.nl reported on 14 November 2025 on a specific batch of Jumbo Snoeprozijntjes with barcode 8718452534326 and best-before date 28-07-2026. That date has passed; the notice doesn’t apply to all packs. Follow the recall information if you have a pack with the details listed.
The RIVM-KIDDI page says settings should follow the Hygiene Code for Small Institutions, or another approved hygiene code that covers all activities. This concerns the childcare setting’s procedures, not a product certificate for a multipack.
You can’t tell from the weight of a larger pack alone. Compare packs of the same weight, and factor in how many portions you’ll actually use and the work involved in portioning for the childcare setting.
