Lunchbox packers
Want to grab a portion for your morning break without weighing it first? Jumbo lists 14 g portions in the multipacks checked.
Who is a multipack of dried fruit useful for?
Those sharing them out
Looking for individual portions for several people or occasions? Compare the number of boxes: Jumbo lists packs of 14 × 14 g and 12 × 14 g.
Those portioning it themselves
Would you rather decide for yourself how much to take, and don’t mind weighing it out in advance? A large bag, such as the listed 375 g or 500 g sizes, means portioning it yourself and is not a ready-to-go multipack.
What should you look for when choosing?
Start by deciding whether you want ready-to-go portions to take with you or share out, or would rather choose the quantity yourself. Then check the portion weight and ingredients of the exact product.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Why it matters to shoppers |
|---|---|---|
| Easy to take with you | Check whether there are individual inner packs, how many grams each portion contains and how many portions are in the pack. | If you want to put something in a lunchbox without any preparation, a pre-portioned serving is practical; around 31% of consumers say convenience comes first. |
| Sharing out portions | Count how many times you plan to hand them out and compare this with the number of inner packs. | If you need portions for several people, the number of individual packs matters; around 25% of consumers prioritise sharing them out. |
| Portion size and ingredients | Read the ingredients, nutritional information and allergen details on the label of the exact variant. Check organic certification separately. | If you want the contents to suit your diet or an allergen-related need, check the product label; around 25% of consumers put this consideration first. |
| Portioning it yourself | Check the total weight and consider whether you want to weigh out your own portions and store the opened pack as directed on the label. | If you’d rather choose the quantity yourself than use individual boxes, a large bag may suit you; around 19% of consumers prioritise having that flexibility. |
For portion size, the Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends a maximum of 20 g of dried fruit a day. Two 14 g portions add up to 28 g, so a small pack doesn’t mean that several portions together fall outside the daily total.
Common mistakes when buying dried fruit
-
Mistaking a large bag for a multipack
A 375 g or 500 g bag, for example, won’t automatically provide individual portions for a lunchbox or for sharing.
Check specifically whether there are inner packs and how many portions the pack contains.
Weighing and dividing it up yourself takes preparation; individual portion containers aren’t automatically included with the bag of fruit.
-
Not counting several small boxes as one total amount
The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends a maximum of 20 g of dried fruit a day. Two 14 g portions weigh 28 g in total, so the daily amount is more than one box.
Add up all the portions you eat throughout the day, and remember that this recommendation is not a legal product limit.

Ignoring a historical batch warning because the best-before date has passed
On 14 November 2025, NU.nl reported a warning about Jumbo Snoeprozijntjes with barcode 8718452534326 and best-before date 28-07-2026, due to a possible exceedance of the acetamiprid limit. That date has now passed, but any remaining stock from the batch in question is still not suitable for eating.
Check the product identification and best-before date for the batch mentioned, and do not eat it. Do not assume the warning applies to other products or later batches.

Frequently asked questions
Is 14 g of raisins a recommended daily amount?
No. In the multipacks mentioned, 14 g is the weight of one pack. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends a maximum of 20 g of dried fruit a day; this is nutritional advice, not a legal limit for a box. Remember to count any other portions of dried fruit too.
How can I tell if it’s a multipack rather than just a large bag?
A multipack lists individual inner packs and usually gives the number of portions and the weight per portion. A total weight, such as 375 g or 500 g, doesn’t in itself mean that the contents are divided into individual portions.
What should I check about ingredients or allergens?
Read the ingredients list and allergen information for the exact variant, even when ordering online. The Dutch government states that food information must be available in Dutch and online; the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains which allergens must be listed.
How should I store an opened pack of raisins?
Follow the label on the exact pack. For opened raisins, the Netherlands Nutrition Centre gives general guidance of 6–9 months in a kitchen cupboard and lists signs such as drying out, becoming hard, discolouration or mould. Jumbo advises storing the Woezel & Pip variant in a cool, dark place.
