When choosing dried fruit for a mindful snack, first compare fat, sugars and energy per 100 g, then decide on your portion. A low fat content alone tells you nothing about the sugar or energy content. For home delivery, Jumbo and PLUS are the options supported by this comparison. On 12 October 2026, Albert Heijn reported that online orders and deliveries were temporarily unavailable, while Lidl and Dirk do not deliver groceries. The product values checked here alone do not support a claim that the products have a reduced fat content.
You want to compare the fat content per 100 g of the exact variety, rather than judge by the look of the packaging. For solid foods, the European Commission sets a maximum of 3 g of fat per 100 g for a ‘low fat’ claim. This does not tell you how much sugar or energy the product contains.
You want to eat a measured amount, rather than treating the whole pack as one portion. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends a maximum of 20 g of dried fruit a day; the portion size shown on a product page does not automatically match this recommendation.
You want to add dried fruit to your regular online grocery shop and first check that your chosen supermarket actually delivers. Jumbo and PLUS offer delivery; Lidl and Dirk confirm that they do not deliver groceries, and on 12 October 2026 Albert Heijn reported that online orders and deliveries were temporarily unavailable.
Check the nutritional information for the specific pack, decide how much you want to eat, then see whether the shop delivers to your address.
