Which type of packaging is practical for you?

If you want to take one cake with you

Look for an individually wrapped cake, so you don't have to carry around an opened pack. Albert Heijn states that Bolletje Brosse eierkoek melk is individually wrapped; the outer pack contains ten cakes.

If you're buying egg cakes for several occasions

You'll want to know how many cakes are in a pack and what size they are. Albert Heijn and ALDI describe packs of twelve, while Jumbo also offers mini egg cakes alongside the standard variety.

Stall customers and sellers who need to check allergens

You'll need clear information about the egg cake in question before buying. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says allergen information must also be available to customers before they buy unpackaged products.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether you want to take one sealed cake with you or are looking for a pack for several occasions. Then check the size and, especially when buying loose, the latest allergen information.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it's important for
Individual wrapping Check whether it explicitly says ‘individually wrapped’; the number of cakes in a pack doesn't tell you this on its own. If I'm only taking one cake with me, I don't want to have to open or store the rest of the pack; individual wrapping is the top priority for around 42% of consumers.
Quantity and size Check the number of cakes and the pack weight so you don't confuse standard and mini varieties. If I'm buying snacks for several occasions, I want to know how many cakes I'm taking home and how big they are; around 33% of consumers give this top priority.
Ingredients and allergens Read the current packaging or, when buying unpackaged products, ask for allergen information before you buy. If I need to check the ingredients, I want to be able to review the information before choosing a cake; this check takes priority for around 25% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a multipack contains individually wrapped cakes

    A pack of ten or twelve egg cakes doesn't tell you whether each cake has its own wrapper. Albert Heijn does state this explicitly for Bolletje Brosse eierkoek melk.

    Check the packaging if you want to take one sealed cake with you or offer them individually.

  • Looking only at the number of cakes

    The same number of cakes doesn't necessarily mean the same size. For example, Jumbo lists a mini variety with ten cakes weighing 250 g, alongside a standard variety with ten cakes weighing 300 g.

    Compare the quantity, total weight and variety before deciding which option suits a single snack occasion.

  • Asking about allergens only after buying

    According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, customers must be able to get allergen information for unpackaged egg cakes before they buy.

    As a customer, ask for the information in good time. If you sell loose egg cakes, make sure customers can check or request that information before buying.
