Which packaging works best for you?

If you’re handing out treats straight away

If you want to hand out portions at a Halloween party without weighing them yourself, check how many individual boxes come in a pack. Jumbo lists packs with set portions, among other options.

If you’re saving leftovers for lunchboxes

If you want to save unused portions for later, check the best-before date and storage instructions for the exact product you’ve chosen. For Jumbo Woezel & Pip Biologische Snoep Rozijntjes, Jumbo advises storing the product in a cool, dark place.

If you’re filling portions yourself

If you want to put the treats together yourself, larger bags give you room to weigh out your own portions. ALDI lists 500 g of raisins, while PLUS and Dirk list 375 g bags. These pack sizes don’t mean the product comes in ready-to-hand-out portions.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether you need ready-made portions or want to fill them yourself. Then compare the amount per portion, the total usable quantity and the product information.

What to consider What to look for when buying Who is this most important for?
Enough portions to hand out Check the number of individual boxes and the weight of each one. Jumbo lists packs of 14 boxes weighing 14 g each and packs of 12 portions weighing 14 g each, among other options; always check the pack you’ve chosen. If I want to set out enough portions for my guests without weighing them myself, I mainly look at the number of boxes. Around 31% of consumers say that having enough ready-to-hand-out portions is their main priority.
Small portions and leftovers Check the portion weight, best-before date and storage instructions for the specific product. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends small portions of dried fruit for children. If I want to keep portions small and save unused boxes for lunchboxes later, portion size and the label matter to me. Around 25% of consumers say portions and usable leftovers are their main priorities.
Cost per usable treat Compare the total cost of the amount you’ll actually use, including your own packaging if you’re filling portions yourself. A larger bag doesn’t automatically work out cheaper per complete treat. If I want to know the total cost of the treats I’m planning, I compare the same portion size and include the cost of my own packaging. Around 19% of consumers say the total cost per usable treat is their main priority.
Type of fruit or organic label Read the product name and ingredients. Albert Heijn lists options with pieces of apple or apricot; Jumbo lists an organic raisin option with a European organic certification mark. If I’m looking for a particular fruit combination or an organic label, I check the specific product. Around 13% of consumers mainly look at the ingredients or an organic product label.
Ingredients and allergens Check the label on the pack you’re buying. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) says allergen information must appear on the label of prepacked products; ingredient information can vary between products. If I want to check the ingredients for guests with an allergy, I need the information for that exact product. Around 12% of consumers say ingredients and allergen information are their main priorities.

Common mistakes

  • Mistaking a large bag for a multipack

    A 375 g or 500 g bag tells you the total weight, not how many individual treat boxes it contains. Product listings from PLUS, Dirk and ALDI confirm these bag sizes, but don’t specify a set number of ready-made portions.

    Check whether the pack actually contains individual portions. If you’re filling them yourself, allow time for preparation and remember to factor in the packaging you’ll need.

  • Applying a historical recall notice too broadly

    In November 2025, NU.nl and Productwaarschuwing.nl reported a warning about Jumbo Snoeprozijntjes with barcode 8718452534326 and best-before date 28-07-2026. This refers to a specific product, not all Jumbo raisins.

    Do not eat the specific recalled stock mentioned. Check the product identity and batch details, and don’t assume the warning applies to other products.

  • Handing out unlimited dried fruit because it’s fruit

    The Netherlands Nutrition Centre points out that dried fruit is relatively high in sugar and recommends small portions for children. The product category alone is no reason to make portions unlimited.

    Plan a small portion for each handing-out occasion, rather than basing your decision only on the total weight of the outer pack.

  • Throwing away the original label when filling portions yourself

    If you’re putting together treat bags yourself, the general description ‘dried fruit’ isn’t enough to check the ingredients or allergens in the product you’ve used.

    Keep the original packaging or product information so you can check the ingredients and allergens.

Frequently asked questions

How do I work out how many packs I need?

Multiply the number of guests by the number of portions you’re planning per guest, then divide by the number of individual portions in one pack. Round up and check the quantity on the pack you’ve chosen. This is a planning method, not advice to give every child several portions.

Can I save unused boxes for lunchboxes later?

You can, as long as the best-before date and storage instructions for the product you’ve chosen allow it. For Jumbo Woezel & Pip Biologische Snoep Rozijntjes, Jumbo advises storing the product in a cool, dark place and says the best-before date is printed on the side. This isn’t a standard storage period for other varieties.

Is a portion of raisins the same as a portion of fresh fruit?

No. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre lists raisins as a possible snack, recommends small portions because of their sugar content, and says fresh fruit is the better choice. So don’t use dried fruit as a reason to hand out unlimited portions.

Where can I check allergens in a multipack?

Check the label on the pack you’re actually buying. According to the NVWA, allergen information must appear on the label of prepacked products. Keep the original product information if you’re dividing portions into treat bags yourself.

What should I do with the specific Jumbo Snoeprozijntjes that were recalled?

The historical warning reported by NU.nl and Productwaarschuwing.nl in November 2025 concerned barcode 8718452534326 with a best-before date of 28-07-2026: do not eat that specific stock. The warning does not apply to all Jumbo raisins.

Is filling portions yourself from a large bag always cheaper?

No, the total weight alone doesn’t tell you that. Compare the number of usable portions and include the cost of your own packaging if you’re filling them yourself; a 375 g or 500 g bag doesn’t, by itself, prove a lower cost per treat.
