Who are multipacks useful for?

For filling lunchboxes

Want to get small portions ready for holidays and days out without weighing them each time? Product information from Albert Heijn and Jumbo lists individual 14-gram portions.

For sharing

If you’re taking something for several people, check how many boxes are in the pack. The Albert Heijn and Jumbo raisin multipacks contain 10 and 14 individual portions respectively.

For portioning yourself

Want to decide how much goes into each lunchbox, and don’t mind filling them yourself? Larger packs such as AH Rozijnen, PLUS Sultana rozijnen and the raisins from Lidl or ALDI give you a total weight, but aren’t confirmed as packs of individual sharing boxes.

What should you look for when choosing?

What to consider What to look for Who is this important for?
Taking portions without weighing them Check whether the pack contains individual boxes and look at the weight of each one. If I want to take small portions on a day out without weighing them, I look for clearly portioned packaging. Around 31% of consumers put convenience first.
Portions to share Compare the number of boxes with the number of portions you plan to hand out. When catering for several people, I want to know in advance how many boxes I can hand out. Around 25% of consumers prioritise having enough individual portions.
Ingredients and quantities Read the ingredients, allergen information and warnings on the current packaging. If I’m taking something for people with specific dietary considerations, I check the ingredients and portion size. Around 19% of consumers prioritise suitable ingredients and small portions.
Making up your own portions Check the total weight and consider whether you have time to portion it yourself and store the pack. If I want to adjust portions to suit different lunchboxes, I’d rather decide how much to put in myself. Around 13% of consumers prioritise portioning it themselves.
A different mix of fruit Check which types of fruit are in the variety and read the allergen information. If I want something other than raisins, I check which types of fruit are listed. Around 13% of consumers prioritise this variety.

Things to watch out for when buying

  • Assuming a large pack is a multipack

    A larger pack gives the total weight; that doesn’t tell you how many individual portions you can hand out.

    If you want to hand them out straight away, look for a confirmed number of boxes and the weight of each one. Choose a larger pack if you want to portion it yourself.

    Portioning it yourself takes preparation and may require your own portion-sized containers.

  • Confusing no added sugar with sugar-free

    AH Rozijnen lists 0 grams of added sugars and 59 grams of total sugars per 100 grams. This makes it clear that ‘no added sugar’ doesn’t mean sugar-free.

    Check both the total sugars and the portion size. Voedingscentrum recommends eating dried fruit in small amounts.

  • Assuming all fruit varieties have the same allergen information

    The AH apple and apricot varieties list sulphites. Jumbo states that its plain raisins may contain various nuts, milk and soya.

    Check the ingredients and allergen information for the exact variety before handing the boxes out to others.

  • Ignoring a historical recall or applying it to the whole range

    The warning concerned a specific Jumbo pack, identifiable by EAN 8718452534326 and best-before date 28-07-2026. The product name alone doesn’t tell you whether a pack belongs to that batch.

    Do not eat a pack with this identification. The warning applies to that specific batch and is not a judgement on all Jumbo raisins.

Frequently asked questions

When can you give a child raisins as a snack?

Voedingscentrum says raisins can be given occasionally as a snack from around a child’s first birthday, when they start eating the same meals as the rest of the family. Don’t give too many at once, and stay with them because of the risk of choking. This is dietary and practical advice, not a legal age limit.

How should you store raisin multipacks during a summer holiday?

Jumbo Snoep Rozijntjes and AH Hamsterchef Rozijnen say to store them in a cool, dry, dark place. Follow the instructions on the pack and check the date. No product-specific maximum storage temperature for a hot car is listed.

Are the AH apple or apricot multipacks suitable if you need to avoid sulphites?

No. The product information for both varieties lists sulphites and sulphur dioxide E220 in the ingredients. Check the packaging for the exact variety.

Can you use raisins as a complete replacement for fresh fruit during a holiday?

Voedingscentrum advises against automatically using raisins as a complete replacement for fresh fruit. According to Voedingscentrum, fresh fruit contains more vitamin C, which is lost during drying.

What should you do with the recalled Jumbo Snoeprozijntjes?

Do not eat the specific pack with EAN 8718452534326 and best-before date 28-07-2026. The warning, reported by Productwaarschuwing.nl and NU.nl among others, concerns that batch and does not prove that all Jumbo raisins are unsafe.
