For a single late-night snack, the number of egg cakes in a pack is a useful place to start. Jumbo lists a two-pack of egg cakes from Gluten Free Bakery Holland, as well as larger packs. A pack of two is not the same as buying a single egg cake. If gluten or other allergens are a concern for you, always check the current label before considering pack size or flavour.
Don't want to buy lots of egg cakes for one late-night snack? Start by checking the pack size. Jumbo lists a two-pack from Gluten Free Bakery Holland. Check separately with the retailer to see if you can buy a single egg cake.
If you plan to enjoy the pack over several snack breaks, a larger quantity could suit you. Jumbo lists a pack of ten, while ALDI lists a pack of twelve. Check the net weight and best-before date, too.
A gluten-free product category can help you narrow down your search, but always check the current packaging of the egg cakes you choose. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority highlights the importance of clear allergen information on labels.
For a single snack, first choose a pack with the right number of egg cakes. Then check the information that matters for your dietary needs or flavour preferences.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it's important for |
|---|---|---|
| Keeping leftovers to a minimum | Check the number of egg cakes and the net weight; don't assume a small pack means they are sold individually. | For one late-night snack, I want to have as little left over as possible. Around 45% of consumers prioritise keeping leftovers to a minimum. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Check the current packaging for the ingredients, allergen information and any gluten-free claim. | If I need to watch out for gluten or other allergens, I want to be able to assess the product I've chosen by checking the label. This is the top priority for around 22% of consumers. |
| A pack for several snack breaks | Compare the number of egg cakes, net weight and best-before date. | If I eat egg cakes regularly, I want to know whether I'll use a larger pack before it goes out of date. This is a priority for around 22% of consumers. |
| Light, crisp texture | Check whether the product name mentions a crisp variety with a milk coating. | I'm specifically looking for a crisp egg cake with a milk coating, even if the pack contains more than I need for one evening. Around 11% of consumers prioritise this flavour and texture preference. |
Jumbo lists packs of two, four and ten, among others; ALDI lists a pack of twelve. So even the smallest of these packs contains more than one egg cake.
Check the number of egg cakes on the product page or packaging. If you want exactly one, ask the retailer whether they are sold individually.
A category listing is no substitute for checking the packaging. Albert Heijn notes that ingredients, nutritional values and allergen information can change.
Before eating, check the label on the pack you've chosen, including the ingredients and allergen information.
The name or texture of an egg cake doesn't tell you its nutritional value.
Where relevant, compare the nutritional information per 100 g and per portion, for example for sugars, fats, fibre and salt.
Jumbo lists its own-brand egg cakes in packs of four and ten.
Jumbo lists this brand's 2 Egg Cakes 100 g pack in its gluten-free biscuit range.

Check with the retailer to see whether they are sold individually. Jumbo's listing for Gluten Free Bakery Holland is for two egg cakes in one pack, so it isn't a listing for a single egg cake sold on its own.
A larger pack could suit you if you plan to enjoy the egg cakes over several snack breaks. Jumbo lists ten in a pack and ALDI lists twelve. Compare the net weight and check the best-before date on the pack you buy.
Check the ingredients and allergen information on the current packaging of the specific product. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says allergen information must be clearly shown on the label. A listing in a gluten-free shop category is no substitute for checking it.
No, texture doesn't indicate nutritional value. Use the information on the packaging to compare varieties per 100 g or per portion, focusing on what matters to you, such as sugars, fats and fibre.
