Choose small sourdough toast if the shared office snack tin is mainly for little toasts to top with your favourite ingredients. Jos Poell Sourdough Toast fits the bill, but contains gluten and lists 1.9 g of salt per 100 g. If a larger, sturdier cracker would also work, the wholegrain sourdough crispbreads from Wasa and Leksands included in this comparison are alternatives with stated fibre values. Don’t assume that sourdough means a health benefit or that baker’s salt has been used: check the ingredients, allergens and current packaging.
If you’re filling a tin with little toasts for colleagues to top with their favourite ingredients, the shape matters more than whether the product is labelled sourdough. Check the allergen information too, and keep the stock dry and tightly sealed.
If you’d rather have a larger cracker as a snack or with lunch, you can compare the wholegrain sourdough crispbreads from Wasa and Leksands. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list 19 g and 21 g of fibre per 100 g respectively on their product pages. These are still different products from small toasts.
For a shared supply, it’s useful to check which grains and allergens are listed, how much salt the product contains per 100 g, and which sourdough ingredient has been used. According to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, using baker’s salt in bread is not compulsory, so the word sourdough tells you nothing about whether it’s present.
First decide whether the tin should contain little toasts for toppings or larger crackers. Then compare the labels on the points that matter for sharing.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Size and sharing | Check whether you’re buying small toasts or larger crispbreads, and whether the pack will fit in the tin. | If colleagues want to grab and top a toast easily, the product shape comes first. For around 42% of consumers, how easy it is to share matters most. |
| Wholegrain and fibre | Compare the type of grain and the stated fibre per 100 g, and consider whether you’d prefer a larger cracker. | If you’re looking for a more substantial snack, you may prefer crispbread to a small toast. Wholegrain and fibre are the top priority for around 33% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the current ingredients and allergen list, and compare the salt per 100 g. Look specifically for baker’s salt if that matters to your choice. | When sharing a tin, I want to know which grains and potential allergens it contains before offering anything. Around 25% of consumers put this label check first. |
The name alone doesn’t tell you which raising agents have been used. According to Albert Heijn, the ingredients list for Jos Poell Sourdough Toast includes both sourdough powder and yeast. Sourdough alone doesn’t mean the product offers a health benefit either.
Read the ingredients and compare the type of flour and nutritional information according to what you want to offer in the tin.
Baker’s salt is iodised, but according to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, using it to bake bread isn’t compulsory. You can’t tell whether it has been used just from the words sourdough and toast.
If baker’s salt matters to your purchase, check the packaging or ask the seller.
The Wasa and Leksands products included in this comparison are rye crispbreads, while Jos Poell offers a small toast. That difference determines whether you can serve the contents straight away as little toasts for toppings.
Choose the product shape you want first, then check whether larger crackers will fit conveniently in the tin.
The toast and crispbreads included in this comparison contain cereals with gluten. The product information also mentions possible traces of other allergens for some products.
Keep the current packaging or clear ingredients information with the tin. If you’re providing a separate gluten-free supply, check the gluten-free label and allergen information for the product you choose.
These product ranges show how much the shape can vary, even when sourdough appears in the name. Always compare the specific pack, not just the brand.
Sourdough Toast is a small toast for toppings or drinks and nibbles; Albert Heijn lists it in a 90 g pack.
Wasa Sourdough Rye is a wholegrain rye crispbread for anyone looking for a larger cracker rather than little toasts.
Leksands sourdough crispbread is a larger wholegrain cracker that you can break into pieces if you like, rather than a small toast.
This Wasa rye cracker is an option if you’d also like to offer a larger sourdough cracker in a shared tin. If you’re looking for little toasts to top with your favourite ingredients, bear in mind that this is a different product shape.

A sourdough rye cracker for anyone who wants to share a larger cracker rather than a small toast. The pack contains 235 g; before sharing, check the size of the crackers and the current allergen information.
No, you can’t tell from the name. According to Albert Heijn, Jos Poell Sourdough Toast lists both sourdough powder and yeast. KRO-NCRV explains that there is a lack of scientific evidence for many of the health benefits claimed for sourdough bread, so compare the ingredients and nutritional information of the products you’re considering.
No, sourdough toast doesn’t automatically contain baker’s salt. According to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, baker’s salt is iodised, but its use in bread isn’t compulsory. Check the packaging or ask the seller if this matters to your choice.
Keep toast or crispbread dry in a tightly sealed tin, and reseal any opened inner packaging. Joybuy’s product information for the Wasa rye crackers recommends storing them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Don’t put more in the tin at once than you can keep properly sealed.
No, the Jos Poell toast and the Wasa and Leksands crispbreads included in this comparison contain cereals with gluten. If you’d also like to offer a gluten-free supply, choose a separate product that is explicitly labelled gluten-free and check its current allergen information.
