Which pack is right for you?

If you want to take a single snack with you

For a day out, you may want to grab one portion without having to separate the cakes. Jumbo specifically says that Bolletje Brosse Eierkoek Kaneel is individually wrapped.

For smaller households with a few snack breaks

A pack of four plain Jumbo egg cakes gives you several portions without having to buy a pack of ten or twelve. If you want to take them individually, check how the cakes are packed inside the multipack.

If you need to check ingredients carefully

The exact product variant and its current label matter if certain ingredients or allergens aren’t suitable for your household. Bolletje lists egg, cereals containing gluten, milk, wheat and soya among the allergens in its Brosse Eierkoeken.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether you want to take one cake with you or need a few for several snack breaks. Then check the type of product and the information on the packaging: a crisp egg cake is different from a standard soft egg cake.

What to consider What to check before buying Who should consider this?
Taking one portion with you Look for an explicit statement that the cakes are individually wrapped. Jumbo says this is the case for Bolletje Brosse Eierkoek Kaneel. I want to be able to grab one egg cake for a day out without splitting up the pack. For around 36% of consumers, having individual portions is the top priority.
A smaller supply Compare the number of cakes and the storage instructions. Jumbo Eierkoeken contains four cakes and, according to Jumbo, should be stored in a cool, dry, dark place. I want a few snack breaks’ worth without opening a large pack. A small pack is the top priority for around 29% of consumers.
Ingredients and allergens Read the current ingredients and allergen information for the exact product variant. Bolletje lists egg, cereals containing gluten, milk, wheat and soya among the allergens in its Brosse Eierkoeken. If an ingredient isn’t suitable for my household, I want to check before handing the cakes out. Around 21% of consumers put this check first.
A treat or an everyday snack Decide what sort of snack occasion you’re buying for. If it’s for an everyday snack, consider other types of snack too. I’m not just looking for something for a treat; I want to decide what I usually give as a snack between meals. This is the main consideration for around 14% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a multipack contains individually wrapped cakes

    A pack of four or ten doesn’t automatically mean that each cake has its own wrapper. Jumbo specifically confirms that Bolletje Brosse Eierkoek Kaneel is individually wrapped.

    Look for an explicit statement that the cakes are individually wrapped. If there isn’t one, take a small container for a single cake if needed.

  • Going by the name instead of the label

    A description such as egg cake or wholemeal doesn’t tell you which allergens are in the exact product variant. Bolletje lists egg, cereals containing gluten, milk, wheat and soya among the allergens in its Brosse Eierkoeken.

    Check the current ingredients and allergen information on the pack you’re buying.

  • Confusing a cake treat with an everyday snack

    If you’re looking for something to give children as an everyday snack, you’ll make a different choice from someone taking a cake along for a treat. For children aged 4 to 12, the Voedingscentrum lists options such as vegetables and fruit for between-meal snacks.

    First decide what occasion you’re buying for. If it’s an everyday snack, compare other types of product too.

Frequently asked questions

Are egg cakes individually wrapped?

It depends on the product. Jumbo specifically says that Bolletje Brosse Eierkoek Kaneel is individually wrapped. For other packs, check whether they’re explicitly described as individually wrapped.

Which pack is suitable for just a few snack breaks?

A pack of four plain Jumbo egg cakes is an option if you want several cakes, but not too many. If you want to take one cake with you, look for an explicit statement that it is individually wrapped.

Which allergens should I check in Brosse Eierkoeken?

Always check the label on the exact product variant. Bolletje lists egg, cereals containing gluten, milk, wheat and soya among the allergens in its Brosse Eierkoeken. The current packaging is what matters when making your choice.

Is a wholemeal egg cake the same as an everyday snack?
