Households looking to stock up
If you regularly eat the same granola or Cruesli, check the total amount and number of individual packs before adding the multipack to your online basket.
Who are larger packs suitable for?
Shoppers comparing ingredients
If ingredients, sugars, fibre or allergens are important to you, check the nutritional information and packaging for each variety individually.
Shoppers relying on home delivery
If you’d rather not make a trip to the shops, check whether you can add your chosen item to your planned online order.
What should you look for when choosing?
First, decide whether the pack size suits how you use it. Then compare the ingredients and check that it’s available for your chosen delivery slot.
| What to consider | What to check | Who is it for? |
|---|---|---|
| Pack contents | Check the total net weight and whether the pack contains individual packs. | If I often eat the same flavour, I want to know how much stock I’ll have at home. For around 42% of consumers, stocking up is the main priority. |
| Ingredients | Read the ingredients, allergen information and nutritional values per 100 g for your chosen variety. | Ingredients or allergens may matter more to me than the pack size. Around 33% of consumers give ingredients top priority. |
| Availability to order | Check your online basket, delivery address and availability just before checkout. | I want my groceries delivered, without having to make a separate trip to the shops. Delivery availability is the top priority for around 25% of consumers. |
Common mistakes
-
Choosing a large pack without considering how much you’ll use
A multipack means more of the same variety. It may not be the best choice if your household doesn’t eat that flavour regularly.
Check the total amount and consider whether you’ll use all the packs.
-
Assuming ‘no added sugar’ means ‘sugar-free’
These terms mean different things. Despite its name, the Quaker Cruesli Zero Sugar Added Nuts & Seeds shown by Jumbo also lists sugars in its nutritional information.
Compare the sugars per 100 g and also read the ingredients and allergen information for your chosen variety.
-
Planning to have an in-store product delivered
Lidl marks the granola shown as ‘In store only’, while ALDI’s page for Golden Bridge Granola directs shoppers to its store.
Only include an item in your delivery plans if you can add it to your own online order.
Otherwise, you may still need to visit a shop.
-
Assuming an old product page means the item is in stock
A product page being visible doesn’t mean the same item is currently available to order. For example, Jumbo says that one granola variety is no longer available.
Check the item’s status and any replacement preferences just before checkout.
Brands and retailers to consider
Quaker Cruesli
Cruesli varieties shown by Albert Heijn and Jumbo in larger packs or multipacks.

- Check the total amount if you’re comparing it with a single larger pack.
Jumbo
Lists both Quaker Cruesli packs and its own-brand granola varieties.
- You can compare different pack sizes and ingredients across the products shown.
- Check the order status of the specific item before planning your delivery.
Lidl
Lists granola in Super Berry and Super Nutty varieties.
- The varieties have their own product pages.
- Lidl marks this granola as ‘In store only’ on the product page.
ALDI

Frequently asked questions
Is granola with no added sugar also sugar-free?
No, the terms don’t mean the same thing. The Quaker Cruesli Zero Sugar Added Nuts & Seeds listed by Jumbo includes sugars in its nutritional information. Check the amount per 100 g for the variety you choose.
Where can I check allergen information when ordering granola online?
Read the allergen information on the product page and check the label on the pack when it arrives too. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says that allergen information for prepacked foods must appear on the label.
Can I have the granola shown by Lidl or ALDI delivered?
The relevant product pages don’t confirm this: Lidl says ‘In store only’, while ALDI directs shoppers to a store for Golden Bridge Granola. Only plan to have either item delivered if you can add it to your own online order.
How should I store an opened multipack?
Follow the storage instructions on each pack and seal any opened bag tightly. Store the remaining packs as directed on the product.
