Choose seeded rusks based on what matters most to you: a wholegrain base, the seeds and fibre listed, or packaging that suits how you’ll use them. Before ordering online, check the current ingredients and allergen information, and make sure the specific variety is available for your order. A substitute may have a different composition.
You’re looking for rusks for breakfast or lunch and want to know whether they’re made with wholegrain, and how much fibre the product contains per 100 g. Product information from Jumbo and PLUS shows why it’s worth checking these details for each variety.
You’re checking ingredients such as sesame, linseed, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds. If you have an allergy, it’s also important to check the full allergen information for your chosen variety and any alternative.
You want to check that your chosen rusks are available before completing your order. If you choose an alternative, compare the ingredients again rather than relying on the product names alone.
Start with the feature that matters most to you, then compare the information for the exact variety you want to order.

Yes. According to the European Commission, when prepacked food is sold online, the required food information must be available before you complete your purchase, with the exception of the best-before date. All required information must be available on delivery. For seeded rusks, also check the information for any product offered as a substitute.
No. The term ‘multiseed’ doesn’t tell you what type of grain they’re made with. Look for an explicit wholegrain claim on the product page or packaging, and check the ingredients for the exact variety.
No. Don’t assume a product contains iodine or iodised baker’s salt just because it’s in this product category. Check the label or ask the manufacturer about the ingredients in that specific product.
Seal the pack tightly and store the rusks according to the instructions on the label, usually in a dry place. When your order arrives, also check that the packaging is intact.
