Who is a multipack useful for?

For sharing and stocking up at home

For a family, visitors or a shared cupboard, both the number of regular-sized Dutch egg cakes and the pack’s total weight matter.

Lunchbox planners

If you want to divide Dutch egg cakes between several lunchboxes or snack breaks, you can compare a mini pack with one containing regular-sized cakes.

Shoppers who check the ingredients

For wholemeal or flavoured versions, check the current ingredients and allergen information on the packaging to see whether the product meets your preferences and requirements.

What should you look for in a multipack?

First decide whether you want regular portions to share, smaller lunchbox portions or a particular variety. Then compare the packaging details that matter most for how you plan to use them.

What to consider What to check before buying Most important for
Portions to share Compare the number of regular-sized Dutch egg cakes and the net weight. Jumbo lists 10 cakes and 300 g; ALDI lists 12 cakes and 360 g for Heerlijck Banket. If I want to share a pack at home, I want enough regular-sized cakes and don’t want to judge by the number alone. For around 42% of consumers, having enough to share is the priority.
Lunchbox size Compare mini and regular versions by both size and net weight. Jumbo lists 10 mini Dutch egg cakes weighing 250 g in total, compared with 10 regular ones weighing 300 g in total. For my lunchbox, I’m looking for smaller portions that I can spread over several days. Size matters most to around 33% of consumers.
Ingredients and allergens Read the current ingredients list and allergen information. If you need to eat gluten-free, also check whether this is explicitly stated on the packaging. If a particular variety or ingredient matters to me, I don’t want to rely on the product name alone. Around 25% of consumers make this their priority.

Common mistakes when choosing

  • Comparing only the number on the front

    According to Jumbo, both the regular pack and the mini pack contain 10 Dutch egg cakes, but their net weights differ: 300 g compared with 250 g.

    Compare the number of cakes, net weight and size you want before choosing a pack.

  • Assuming a variety name tells you about allergens

    ‘Wholemeal’ or a flavour name doesn’t tell you whether a Dutch egg cake meets specific allergen requirements. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority states that allergens must be listed on the label.

    Check the ingredients and highlighted allergens on the current packaging, along with any warnings about cross-contamination.

  • Choosing a large pack without planning when you’ll eat it

    If you’re stocking up for several days, check the best-before date and storage instructions on the packaging. Jumbo advises storing its Dutch egg cakes in a cool, dry place away from light.

    Choose an amount that suits your planned snack times and follow the storage advice on the pack.

    If Dutch egg cakes are left uneaten past their stated best-before date, they may go to waste.
