Who are larger packs useful for?

Anyone hosting Easter brunch for a larger group

If several guests want chocolate flakes on bread, crispbread or yoghurt, it helps to decide in advance how many packs you want to open. A 300 g pack contains more than a standard 200 g pack, while a multipack splits the total amount across individual packs.

Brunch shoppers keeping allergens in mind

For guests who need to avoid certain ingredients, the exact variety matters more than just the flavour name. According to the product information from Jumbo, the allergen statements for De Ruijter Feestvlokken and white flakes differ. So read the label on every pack you put on the table.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, decide whether you’re buying chocolate flakes for one brunch or for several occasions. Then choose the flavour and check the label for each variety you select.

What to consider What to look for Who it matters to
Amount for one brunch Compare the net weight of each pack and, for a multipack, count the individual packs. If several guests want chocolate flakes at the same time, I want to have enough to serve without opening more packs than necessary. Around 45% of consumers prioritise having the right amount for one occasion.
Allergens in each variety Read the ingredients, allergen information and any precautionary allergen statements on the current pack. If a guest needs to avoid certain ingredients, I want to know which specific variety of chocolate flakes I can offer. For around 33% of consumers, this check comes first.
Flavours on the table Choose between options such as milk, dark or festive flakes, and check how much of each flavour you’ll get. I want to be able to serve something different alongside a familiar flavour, even if that means buying an extra pack. Around 22% of consumers put variety first.

Common mistakes

  • Mistaking a multipack for one large sharing pack

    The De Ruijter Royaal multipack shown by Albert Heijn contains three individual 240 g packs. That’s 720 g in total, but it doesn’t mean you’ll be putting one large bag on the table.

    Check how many packs are included and consider whether you want to save the unopened ones for another occasion.

  • Relying on the flavour name to check for allergens

    According to the product information from Jumbo, De Ruijter Feestvlokken contain cereals containing gluten, wheat and soya, and may contain milk. The white flakes reviewed list milk, soya and lactose.

    Check the ingredients, allergens and any precautionary allergen statements on the packaging of the exact variety you’ve chosen.

  • Assuming a product page means home delivery is available

    Lidl lists its 300 g pack of milk chocolate flakes as available in store only. So a product page doesn’t necessarily mean you can have the pack delivered.

    Before you shop, check whether the size you want is available from your chosen shop or delivery service.
