Buying snacks online seems easy, but product pages don’t always make it clear what you’ll get. A large bag may contain only a few portions, a pack labelled “lightly salted” may still be high in fat, and a snack for children isn’t automatically suitable for every age. A few simple checks can help you avoid surprises when buying crisps, sweets, biscuits, plantain chips and frozen snacks.
Compare not just the pack price, but also the price per 100 g and the number of portions. A multipack of small bags can be handy for party snacks, while a large bag may be less suitable if you want to divide it into portions. For example, Look-O-Look Top Mix contains 10 small portion packs, with a total weight of 215 grams. That’s a different option from a single bag of crisps of a similar weight.
Words such as “natural”, “tropical”, “fruit” or “lightly salted” don’t automatically tell you about a product’s nutritional value. So check the ingredients list and the table per 100 g. For example, according to the product information, TG Salted Plantain Chips contains 32 grams of fat and 0.11 grams of salt per 100 grams. AfroAse Plantain Chips Salted lists 28 grams of fat and 1.09 grams of salt per 100 grams. Both are savoury plantain chips, but their nutritional values are clearly different.
When shopping online, the product photo, description and packaging may not match. Always check the physical packaging when your order arrives, especially for allergens, best-before dates, cooking instructions and storage guidance. Extra care is needed with snacks for babies: age guidance, texture and supervision while eating are all important. A product description can’t replace your own assessment of whether it’s suitable for your child.
In the EU, the 14 main allergens must be clearly listed when present. For biscuits, sweets and frozen snacks, look out for ingredients such as wheat, gluten, milk, egg, peanuts, soya, celery and sesame.
Examples from the range:
If you have an allergy or intolerance, “may contain traces of” is just as relevant as the main ingredients. Always check the label on the packaging.
A portion pack doesn’t automatically make a snack a lighter choice. Check the energy, fat, saturates, sugars and salt per 100 g. For sweet products, sugar content is often the most useful comparison; for crisps and savoury snacks, fat and salt matter more.
Look-O-Look Dynamite Sticks Forest Fruits lists 69 grams of sugars per 100 grams. ENNJOI Sourmeow Gummy Grapefruit Flavor lists 66.5 grams of sugars per 100 grams. This makes it easier to compare gummy sweets objectively, rather than judging them by flavour or packaging alone.
Dry snacks such as crisps, sweets and biscuits are usually best stored in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight. Seal the pack well after opening to help keep the contents crisp.
For frozen snacks, the instructions matter more:
According to the product information, Mora Spring Roll Chicken & Ham can be cooked in a deep fryer, oven, pan or air fryer. Mora O&A Frikandellen, in a pack of 4, are intended to be cooked in the oven for 12 minutes. Always check the latest packaging, as cooking instructions can change.
Why it suits this profile: The pack contains 6 small bags in three flavours: ready salted, paprika and Bolognese. This makes it easy to compare and share them out.
The portion bags make it easier to see how much you’re eating at a time than with one large bag. Do check the listed soya allergens.
6 individual bags, three flavours and a total weight of 180 grams.
Why it suits this profile: According to the product information, this organic corn snack is intended for babies aged 6 months and over, and is free from gluten, milk, lactose and additives.
The ingredients list is short: 99.5% organic maize grits, 0.5% organic sunflower oil and thiamine. Check the packaging and supervise your baby while they eat.
35 grams, organic ingredients and, according to the product information, none of the 14 main EU allergens.
Why it suits this profile: For drinks and larger gatherings, this frozen mix contains 52 snacks, including bitterballen, mini frikandellen, chicken bites and bamihapjes.
The mix lists what’s inside and the total number of snacks. Do check the allergens, including wheat, milk, soya, egg and celery.
962 grams, 52 pieces and four different types of snacks to cook from frozen.
We’ve put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and current European safety requirements.
Choose a mix of portion packs and frozen snacks. Crisps and sweets are ready to serve, while mini spring rolls, frikandellen and snack mixes can be served hot. Check the capacity of your oven, air fryer or deep fryer beforehand, and bear different allergens in mind.
Always check the latest ingredients list and allergen information. “Gluten-free” should be clearly stated on the product packaging or in the product information. Products such as plantain chips may be described as containing none of the 14 main allergens, but check the label again when your order arrives.
Put frozen products in the freezer as soon as possible and keep them frozen until you’re ready to cook them. Thaw them only as instructed, keep thawed products chilled and don’t refreeze them. This helps maintain the stated quality and follow food safety guidance.
