Individual boxes are handy for sharing or popping into a lunchbox: according to product information from Albert Heijn and Jumbo, AH Hamsterchef Raisins contains 10 portions of 14 grams, while Jumbo Snoep Rozijntjes contains 14 portions of 14 grams. For a sharing bowl, a standard bag is a better choice if you want to decide the portions yourself. Check the ingredients and allergen information for the specific variety when choosing a fruit mix.
If you want to hand out individual portions during drinks and take the boxes with you later, check the number of boxes and the weight per portion. Albert Heijn and Jumbo both list 14-gram portions for the raisin multipacks mentioned here.
If you want to decide how much fruit to serve, compare a standard bag with a multipack, without treating them as the same type of product. PLUS, ALDI and Dirk list standard packs; check the label of the variety you choose.
If added sugar, the fruit content or allergens influence your choice, check the information for the exact variety. The AH varieties with apple and apricot mentioned here contain sulphites; Jumbo states that its product may contain various nuts, milk and soya.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|

Around 31% of consumers mainly look for ready-portioned packs. |

| Amount per pack | Compare the net weight with the number of portions and choose an amount that suits how you plan to use the fruit. | If I need fruit for several occasions, I want to choose an amount that suits how I’ll use it. Around 15% of consumers mainly look at the amount in each pack. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients, nutritional information and allergen statement for the exact variety, including any warnings about possible traces. | If ingredients or a relevant allergen affect my choice, I check the label on that specific pack.

| Storage after opening | Follow the storage and resealing instructions on the pack, and don’t assume advice for other types of fruit applies. | If I want to use the pack on more than one occasion, I check how to store the fruit after opening.
