Who is this useful for?

Lunchbox and day-out planners

You want to portion snacks in advance, so you’re looking at the number of boxes and the weight per portion. Jumbo lists packs of 14 boxes, as well as an organic option with 12 × 14 g.

Parents who want smaller portions

You want to keep the amount of dried fruit deliberately small and continue to offer fresh fruit too. The Voedingscentrum recommends serving raisins as a snack in small portions.

Families who portion snacks themselves

You prepare portions at home for several children or snack times and want to choose the amount yourself. A larger bag may suit you, as long as you store the opened pack tightly sealed.

What should you look for when choosing?

Choose boxes if you want snacks ready to hand out; a larger bag means portioning it yourself and storing it properly. Also check the portion size and the information on the label.

What to consider What should you check? Who is this important for?
Individual portions Check the number of boxes and, if stated, the weight of each one. If I want to prepare snacks in advance for lunchboxes or a day out, I check how many boxes there are. Around 36% of consumers give ready-portioned snacks top priority.
Small portions Check the weight per portion and how many boxes you plan to offer at one snack time. I want to keep the amount of dried fruit deliberately small and offer fresh fruit too. Around 29% of consumers put small portions first.
Portioning it yourself Check the total bag weight and decide how many portions you want to make from it. Store the opened bag tightly sealed. If I portion snacks at home, I want to choose how much to serve each time. Around 21% of consumers give portioning snacks themselves top priority.
Ingredients and certification Read the ingredients and allergen information on the current pack; check any certification separately. I want to take the ingredients, any allergen requirements or an organic preference into account. Around 14% of consumers put these product features first.

Pitfalls to avoid when buying

  • Assuming a children’s pack or organic certification means you can serve larger portions

    Packaging aimed at children or a certification mark doesn’t tell you how much dried fruit is suitable for every child. The Voedingscentrum recommends serving raisins as a snack in small portions.

    Choose the pack to suit the occasion, and consider portion size separately from the packaging theme or certification.

  • Treating dried fruit with added sugar as the same as ordinary raisins

    Ingredients can vary between products. The Voedingscentrum states that dried fruit with added sugar is not included in the Schijf van Vijf.

    Read the ingredients of the product you want to buy, and don’t base your choice on the word ‘fruit’ alone.

  • Mistaking a large bag for a multipack

    A total weight such as 375 g or 500 g doesn’t mean the pack contains individual snack boxes.

    If you want snacks ready to hand out, choose a pack that clearly states the number of individual portions. Choose a bag if you want to portion it yourself.

  • Ignoring an old product recall because the date has passed

    In November 2025, NU.nl reported a recall of Jumbo Snoeprozijntjes with EAN 8718452534326 and a best-before date of 28-07-2026, due to potentially high levels of acetamiprid. The warning applied to that specific batch.

    Do not eat the batch mentioned. The fact that the best-before date has passed does not make a pack covered by the warning safe.

Frequently asked questions

Can dried fruit completely replace fresh fruit?

No, the Voedingscentrum recommends fresh fruit. Offer raisins as a small snack and continue to serve fresh fruit.

How should you store an opened bag of raisins?

Store raisins in a cool, dry, dark place and keep them tightly sealed. For an unopened pack, also follow the storage instructions and best-before date on the label.

Is a bag with a large total weight also a multipack?

Not necessarily. A bag such as PLUS Sultana rozijnen 375 g or ALDI Trader Joe’s raisins 500 g is not the same as a pack containing individual boxes. Look for an explicitly stated number of portions if you want to prepare snacks in advance.

What allergen information should I check on pre-packed dried fruit?

Check the allergen information on the label of the current product. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority states that allergen information must appear on the label of pre-packed products. Allergens that may need to be listed include sulphites, nuts, peanuts and milk. Organic certification is no substitute for checking this information.
