Who are these packs suitable for?

Festival stallholders handing out treats

If you want to hand out portions without preparing them yourself first, check how many boxes are in the pack. Albert Heijn lists 10 sharing boxes; Jumbo lists 14 boxes of 14 g.

Lunchbox planners

For small portions to take with you, compare the number of boxes and the weight per portion. Jumbo’s product information lists 14 g per box; check the current packaging for details of the product you choose.

Those who portion it themselves

If you want to decide the portion size yourself, you can divide a larger bag into portions in advance. PLUS lists sultanas in a 375 g bag, and ALDI Trader Joe’s raisins in a 500 g bag; these are different pack formats from confirmed sharing boxes.

What should you look for when choosing?

Ready-portioned boxes save you time when handing out treats; a larger bag gives you the flexibility to make up your own portions.

What to consider What should you check? Who is this important for?
Number of portions to hand out Check the number of boxes and the weight per box. Jumbo lists 14 × 14 g; Albert Heijn lists 10 boxes totalling 140 g. If I want to hand them out quickly to a group, I need to know how many individual portions come in a pack. Around 36% of consumers prioritise having enough portions to hand out.
Small portions to take with you Check the weight per box and how many portions you want to save for lunchboxes. Jumbo lists 14 g per box. A pre-portioned box is handy for a small serving in a bag or lunchbox. Around 29% of consumers focus most on small portions to take with them.
Quantity and leftovers Compare the total weight with how much you expect to use, and check whether the pack contains individual portions. PLUS lists 375 g and ALDI 500 g in larger bags. If I want to limit leftovers, I match the quantity to my group and factor in the time needed to portion it myself. Around 21% of consumers prioritise quantity and leftovers.
Ingredients and allergens Read the ingredients and allergen information on the current packaging. Jumbo lists possible traces of almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, milk, soya and walnuts. If I have an allergy or a particular ingredient preference, I need to be able to check the details for the exact variant. Around 14% of consumers consider ingredients and allergens their most important concern.

Things to watch out for when buying

  • Mistaking a large bag for a multipack

    A 375 g or 500 g bag doesn’t automatically contain individual portions to hand out. If you want to give out small portions, you’ll need to divide these packs yourself.

    Check whether the pack contains individual portions before counting on being able to hand them out quickly.

    Portioning it yourself takes time and requires your own portion-sized packaging.

  • Assuming ‘no added sugar’ means ‘low in sugar’

    Voedingscentrum points out that dried fruit contains sugar even when no sugar has been added. Small, individually portioned packs don’t change the fruit’s composition.

    Read both the ingredients and the nutritional information on the packaging, and bear in mind how much you eat.

  • Assuming a short ingredients list means there’s no risk of allergens

    Jumbo lists raisins and sunflower oil, as well as possible traces of almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, milk, soya and walnuts.

    If you have a relevant allergy, check the full allergen information for the exact variant rather than relying on the front of the pack or the main ingredients alone.

  • Assuming a historical recall applies to every pack

    In November 2025, Productwaarschuwing.nl reported a warning from Jumbo about Jumbo Snoeprozijntjes with EAN 8718452534326 and best-before date 28-07-2026. This applies to the batch mentioned, not automatically to every pack.

    If you still have that specific batch, do not eat it. Use the product and batch details given to check whether the warning applies to your pack.

Frequently asked questions

How many multipacks do you need?

First decide how many boxes you want to hand out, then divide that number by the number of boxes in each pack. AH Hamsterchef contains 10; Jumbo Snoep Rozijntjes Doosjes contains 14. Round up to the next whole pack. This works out how many boxes are available, not how much is right for each person.

Is a box of raisins the same as a recommended portion of fruit?

No. The weight of a box is a packaging choice, not an individual dietary recommendation. Voedingscentrum advises having no more than a handful of dried fruit with no added sugar because of its sugar content; its nutritional information for generic raisins uses 20 g as a serving for calculation purposes. This is not a recommendation for every adult or child.

How can you take a larger bag to a festival?

Portion it in advance if you don’t want to open a large bag at the festival, and follow the storage advice on the packaging. PLUS advises storing its sultanas in a cool, dry, dark place; this product-specific advice does not automatically apply to every type of dried fruit.

What allergen information must a festival seller provide in the Netherlands?

A business offering food must inform customers about the allergens present. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, this information appears on the label of prepacked products; for unpackaged products, it must be available in another way before purchase. This requirement for businesses does not automatically mean that visitors sharing their own snacks with friends are subject to the same information requirements.
