If you want to add gluten-free croissants to your online grocery order, first choose a specific product that is clearly labelled gluten-free, then check the ingredients and allergen information on the packaging again. For a smaller pack, Albert Heijn lists two AH croissants; Consenza at PLUS needs to be prepared and can be stored in a cool, dry place, while Jumbo lists the Schär version as a frozen product. The right pack for you depends on how you plan to prepare it, how much freezer space you have and how many people you’re serving.
If you need to avoid gluten strictly because of coeliac disease or for another reason, the label on the specific product matters more than the supermarket or product photo. Always check the latest ingredients, allergen information and any warnings on the packaging too.
If you want to save croissants for breakfast another day, compare the storage instructions. PLUS says Consenza should be kept in a cool, dry place and prepared before use; Jumbo lists the Schär version among its gluten-free frozen products.
If you only want to add a few croissants to a regular online order, the pack size is a practical place to start. Albert Heijn lists AH Gluten-Free Croissants in a pack of two; check whether that pack is available for your address when you order.
First, check the gluten-free label and allergen information for the specific product. Then compare the preparation method, storage requirements and pack size with the breakfast you have in mind.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Gluten and other allergens | Look for a clear gluten-free label on the product. When it arrives, compare the ingredients, allergen information and warnings with the packaging. | If I need to choose strictly gluten-free products, I don’t want to rely on a search filter or photo; for around 46% of consumers, checking the label comes first. |
| Preparation and storage | Check whether your chosen product needs to be prepared and whether you have the required storage space. PLUS lists oven and microwave preparation for Consenza; Jumbo presents Schär as a frozen product. | If I’m planning breakfast for a set time, I want to know how much preparation is involved. Ease of preparation is the first consideration for around 27% of consumers. |
| Pack size | Compare the number of croissants and the weight with how many you expect to use: Albert Heijn lists two AH croissants, PLUS lists three Consenza croissants weighing 180 g in total, and Jumbo lists four Schär croissants weighing 220 g in total. | Whether you’re ordering for one breakfast or stocking up, you’ll want a quantity that suits your needs; around 27% of consumers prioritise this. |
A croissant isn’t gluten-free just because of how it looks or because it appears alongside gluten-free products. For example, the product information for Schoof Croissants on Joybuy lists wheat flour and wheat.
Choose a specific product with a gluten-free label and check the ingredients and allergen information on the packaging before using it.
Ingredients and allergen information can change. An old product photo or search category is no substitute for checking the details on the packaging you receive.
Read the product details when you order, then check on arrival that the label still meets your requirements.
PLUS lists egg and soya in Consenza Croissants, and warns that they may contain lupin, nuts and sesame. A gluten-free label does not mean the product is free from these allergens.
If you have other allergies or intolerances, check the specific ingredients and warnings on the pack you choose as well.
A supermarket’s gluten-free range doesn’t mean that every croissant in it is gluten-free. Always check the label on the individual product.

Yes. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says that sellers must tell consumers which allergens are present in food. Check the packaging when it arrives too, as online product information can change.
No. PLUS lists egg and soya in Consenza Croissants and warns that they may contain lupin, nuts and sesame. If you have another allergy or intolerance, check the information for the specific product.
