If you want to hand out portions without weighing them, or take a ready-portioned snack with you, choose individual boxes and match the quantity to the number of planned occasions. A larger bag is better if you want to portion it yourself, but it takes extra preparation. For fruit mixes and raisins, always check the ingredients and allergen information for the exact variant.
You want enough individual boxes to hand out to colleagues or visitors. Count the portions in each pack and match them to the number of people you want to serve. Jumbo and Albert Heijn list raisin multipacks containing 14 and 10 boxes respectively.
You want to have a small, pre-portioned snack ready for several days. Compare the portion size and fruit variety. For a child’s lunchbox, also check that the portion is suitable for their age and eating ability.
You prefer to make your own portions from a larger bag and want to be able to reseal the pack between uses. A resealable bag can help, but you’ll still need to weigh and divide the contents yourself.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who this matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Enough portions to hand out | Count the individual packs and compare the weight of each box with the number of planned occasions. | If I want to hand out boxes to colleagues or visitors, I first count how many people there are; around 29% of consumers prioritise having enough individual portions to hand out. |
| Ready-portioned snacks to take with you | Check the weight per portion and how many boxes the pack contains. | For lunchboxes, I want to be able to prepare portions in advance without weighing them myself every day; around 29% of consumers give small, portable portions top priority. |
| Fruit variety and ingredients | Read the ingredients list and allergen information for the exact variant; some AH mixes containing apple or apricot list sulphites. | If I’m looking for a specific fruit variety or need to consider certain ingredients, I check the product packaging; around 21% of consumers prioritise the ingredients. |
| Portioning and storing it yourself | Check the net weight, whether the bag is resealable and the storage advice on the pack. | When I want to divide portions myself for several occasions, I choose a size I can reseal and store; around 21% of consumers give portioning it themselves top priority. |
The AH variants containing apple and apricot list sulphites. Jumbo says its standard raisins may contain nuts, milk and soya.
Read the ingredients list and warnings for the exact variant, especially if someone needs to avoid sulphites or particular allergens.
A resealable pack or stand-up pouch doesn’t automatically contain individual portions. If you want small portions to take with you, you’ll need to weigh and divide them yourself.
Before you plan, check how many occasions for serving or lunchboxes the pack will cover: look on the label for the number of individual packs.
Weighing portions yourself takes preparation and may require your own tubs or bags.

Follow the storage advice on the pack; Jumbo and Albert Heijn recommend storing raisins in a cool, dry, dark place. As general guidance for opened raisins, the Voedingscentrum recommends keeping them in a kitchen cupboard for 6–9 months. Also check the product for changes such as drying out, hardening, discolouration or mould.
