Which size is right for you?

Taking a quick snack with you

If you want to pop something in your bag or lunchbox before your night shift without weighing it, individually wrapped portions are handy. Jumbo lists 14 boxes, each containing 14 g.

Sharing snacks during your shift

Individually wrapped portions can be easier to share with colleagues. Check the allergen information for the exact pack you’ve chosen; the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains what allergen information should appear on labels.

Preparing lunchboxes in advance

If you prepare portions at home for several shifts, compare the bag size, ingredients and storage instructions. A larger bag is an alternative for portioning yourself, not a multipack.

What should you consider when choosing?

Individual boxes save you weighing portions in advance, while a larger bag lets you make up your own portions. A resealable pack is another option, but its contents are not individually portioned snacks.

Individual raisin boxes

Best for: taking or sharing a small snack without weighing it at home.

Bear in mind: a fixed portion size and little variety in the pack.

Larger bag

Best for: preparing portions at home for several lunchboxes.

Bear in mind: you’ll need to weigh the portions and use suitable containers.

Resealable fruit mix

Best for: taking as much as you need from a pack and sealing the rest again.

Bear in mind: check the exact variety and ingredients; a mix is not the same as raisins on their own.

If you’re considering dried fruit for night shifts, sharing or lunchboxes, the table sets out the main things to prioritise when buying. Each row focuses on one priority.

Consideration What to look for Who is this important for?
Taking it with you without weighing it Check the number of boxes and the weight of each one; the total weight alone won’t tell you whether the pack contains individual portions. If I want to pop something in my bag quickly before my shift, I don’t want to weigh it first. For around 25% of consumers, convenience on the go is the top buying priority.
Sharing portions Compare the number of individual packs with the number of people you’re sharing with, and check the allergen information. When I bring snacks for colleagues, I want to be able to hand out portions and keep the packaging to hand. Sharing is the top priority for around 25% of consumers.
Ingredients and quantity Read the ingredients list and nutritional information; also check for allergens that may be relevant to you or someone you’re sharing with. When choosing a small snack with ingredients that suit my preferences, I look beyond the product name. Ingredients and quantity are the main buying priority for around 25% of consumers.
Preparing your own portions Check the bag size and storage instructions, and see whether the pack is resealable or you’ll need your own storage container. When I prepare lunchboxes at home for several shifts, I want to be able to choose my own portion sizes. Portioning food yourself and managing supplies are the top priorities for around 25% of consumers.

Common pitfalls

  • Mistaking a large bag for a multipack

    A 375 g or 500 g bag doesn’t automatically contain individual snack portions. Only the number of portions in the pack tells you whether you can share them without weighing them out yourself.

    Check both the number of inner packs and the weight per portion. Choose a large bag if you want to portion it yourself.

    Weighing portions yourself takes preparation time and may mean you need your own portion containers.

  • Assuming dried fruit with no added sugar is sugar-free

    The Netherlands Nutrition Centre says that dried fruit with no added sugar still contains a lot of sugar. So “no added sugar” does not mean “sugar-free”.

    Read the ingredients list and nutritional information, and follow the Netherlands Nutrition Centre’s advice to have no more than a handful.

  • Assuming raisins are allergen-free for everyone

    Jumbo’s product page for Snoep Rozijntjes states that the pack may contain various nuts, milk and soya.

    Keep the ingredients and allergen information for the exact pack to hand, and assess whether it’s suitable for each person you’re sharing with.

  • Treating an old product page as a current option

    Albert Heijn’s page lists AH Rozijnen vriendjes as no longer in the range. Jumbo says that Woezel & Pip biologische snoep rozijntjes is no longer available online.

    Check the availability notice for the exact product rather than relying on an old product title.

Relevant brands to consider

  • Albert Heijn’s product page lists AH Rozijnen in a 250 g pack.

  • The pages describe bags, not individual snack portions, and state “In store only”.

  • ALDI lists Trader Joe’s raisins in a 500 g pack and a product range with a 200 g resealable pack.
  • The fruit mix page groups several varieties together. Check the exact ingredients of the pack you choose; these are not confirmed as individual portions.

Frequently asked questions

Is one small box of raisins a full meal for your night shift?

No, treat it as a small snack, not a full meal. The Jumbo box contains 14 g of raisins. VGZ also describes substantial eating occasions for night shifts, including a meal before your shift; this is not evidence that any particular dried fruit product improves your alertness or sleep.

Does “no added sugar” also mean sugar-free?

No. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre says that dried fruit with no added sugar still contains a lot of sugar, and recommends having no more than a handful. Check both the ingredients list and the nutritional information.

How should you store a bag after making portions for lunchboxes?

Follow the instructions on the packaging of the exact product. PLUS advises storing Sultana rozijnen in a cool, dry, dark place. ALDI describes the grouped fruit mix range as having a resealable pack; this does not provide general guidance on how long it keeps after opening.

What allergen information should you check when sharing?

Check the ingredients list and allergen information on the exact pack. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says that the 14 allergens specified by law must be listed in the ingredients when present as an ingredient. A warning about possible cross-contamination is different from an added ingredient; the product name “raisins” alone is not enough to establish whether it is suitable for someone with a food allergy.

What should you know about the Jumbo Snoeprozijntjes recall?

The recall reported by NU.nl in November 2025 concerned EAN 8718452534326 with a best-before date of 28-07-2026. That date had passed before October 2026; do not use that specific batch as a snack supply. The historical warning does not automatically apply to all current Jumbo raisins.
