Lunchbox packers
You want a small, individually packed portion that you can take with you without weighing it out. Check the weight per box and the number of portions in the outer pack. Albert Heijn lists ten 14 g portions of Hamsterchef Raisins.
Who are multipacks useful for?
People handing out treats
You’re buying for an occasion and want enough individual packs. Count the inner packs, not just the bags or the total weight. Albert Heijn’s product page lists ten boxes of Hamsterchef Raisins.
Households that portion their own
You use raisins on different occasions and make your own lunchbox portions. Larger bags may suit you if you’ll use the contents and follow the storage instructions on the pack; Jumbo lists sultana raisins in several bag sizes.
What should you look for when choosing?
First decide whether you need ready-to-go portions or want to weigh them out yourself. Then check whether your chosen supermarket delivers groceries to your address at a time that suits you.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who is this most relevant for? |
|---|---|---|
| Number of portions and weight per box | Check the number of inner packs and the weight per pack, not just the total weight. | I want to put portions straight into lunchboxes or hand them out without weighing them myself. Around 33% of consumers prioritise ready-to-go portions. |
| Grocery delivery | Check delivery availability for your address, the available time slot and the ordering terms. | I want to add the product to my grocery delivery; going to a shop yourself isn’t an equivalent solution. Around 27% of consumers prioritise grocery delivery. |
| Ingredients and sugars | Read the ingredients and compare total sugars per 100 g with added sugars, if listed separately. | I want to check the ingredients and sugar information against my preferences and the portion I choose. Around 20% of consumers prioritise ingredients. |
| Portioning it yourself | Compare the same type of fruit and ingredients at the same weight, and follow the storage instructions. | I want to split raisins across several occasions and choose my own portion sizes. Around 20% of consumers prioritise this flexibility. |
Common buying mistakes
-
Confusing total weight with the number of portions
A 252 g bag doesn’t tell you how many individual portions you can hand out. Albert Heijn specifically lists ten 14 g portions of Hamsterchef Raisins.
Before ordering, check the number of inner packs and the weight of each one, especially if you’re planning portions for a group.
-
Mistaking an online product page for a grocery delivery service
Lidl and Dirk have product information online, but say they don’t deliver groceries to your home. So a product listing doesn’t mean you can have it delivered with a grocery order.
Check the chain’s grocery service before making your choice as part of a delivery order.
You may need to visit a shop if you want your groceries delivered to your home.
-
Assuming no added sugars means sugar-free
Albert Heijn lists 0 g of added sugars and 65 g of total sugars per 100 g for Hamsterchef Raisins. These are different figures.
Read both figures separately and bear in mind the portion you choose.
-
Looking only at the product and forgetting the ordering terms
Jumbo’s grocery delivery terms depend on factors including your postcode and chosen time slot.
Check the terms for your full order during checkout; don’t buy extra stock solely to meet an ordering requirement.
Supermarket chains to consider
Albert Heijn
An option if you’re looking for individual portions of raisins; current online ordering availability may be a factor.
- Albert Heijn lists ten 14 g boxes of Hamsterchef Raisins, weighing 140 g in total.
- A notice from Albert Heijn on 12 October 2026 said that ordering groceries online and having them delivered was temporarily unavailable. Check the current service before planning an order.
Jumbo
A delivery or collection option with bagged raisins for those who want to make up their own portions.
- Jumbo lists sultana raisins in 250, 500 and 750 g bags, and offers grocery delivery or collection.
- The bag sizes listed don’t confirm that the product comes in individual portions. Jumbo’s ordering terms depend on factors including your postcode and delivery slot.
Lidl
A shop-based option, with Belbake raisins listed online.
- Lidl Netherlands lists Belbake raisins in its online catalogue.
- Lidl says it doesn’t sell groceries through its online shop or app and doesn’t offer a grocery delivery service. The product listing also doesn’t confirm a multipack of individual portions.
ALDI
A shop-based option with raisins listed and an app for planning your shopping.
- ALDI Netherlands lists Trader Joe's raisins in a 500 g pack. The ALDI app describes features such as creating a shopping list.
- The product page directs you to an ALDI shop; the product and app information doesn’t confirm home delivery or a multipack of individual portions.
PLUS
A grocery option with a product for sharing and a larger bag for portioning yourself.
- PLUS lists Sundrop Snoeprozijnen in a 252 g bag and PLUS Sultana raisins in a 375 g stand-up pouch; the product pages offer a grocery ordering option.
- For Sundrop, the total weight doesn’t tell you how many inner packs are included. Check the exact pack if you’re planning portions for an occasion.
Dirk
A shop-based option if you want to pick up raisins with your groceries in store.
- Dirk has an online listing for raisins in its range.
- Dirk currently says it doesn’t deliver groceries to your home. The product listing doesn’t confirm a multipack of individual portions.

Frequently asked questions
How do you plan a multipack for a school week or an occasion?
Count how many individual portions you need and compare that with the number of inner packs. Albert Heijn lists ten 14 g portions of Hamsterchef Raisins: with one box per occasion, that’s ten occasions. This portion size is a product specification, not personal dietary advice.
Does ‘no added sugar’ also mean low in sugar?
No. For Hamsterchef Raisins, Albert Heijn lists 0 g of added sugars and 65 g of total sugars per 100 g. Read the figures separately; the no-added-sugars claim doesn’t mean the product is sugar-free.
How should you store raisins if you portion them yourself?
Follow the storage instructions on the specific pack. For its Sultana stand-up pouch and Sundrop Snoeprozijnen, PLUS advises storing them in a cool, dry, dark place. Don’t assume a specific shelf life after opening if it isn’t stated on the pack.
What online food information is relevant in the Netherlands?
Business.gov.nl states that labelling information must be available in Dutch and provided online too. If you have a food allergy, information about possible cross-contamination is also important; the NVWA says it will check this labelling from 1 January 2026. Compare the online product information with the pack you receive.
Which supermarkets deliver groceries that include raisins?
This varies between chains and may also depend on the time slot. Jumbo and PLUS offer grocery ordering with delivery or collection. On 12 October 2026, Albert Heijn reported that online orders and deliveries were temporarily unavailable; check the current status. Lidl says it doesn’t offer a grocery delivery service, and Dirk currently says it doesn’t deliver groceries to your home.
