Buyer's Guide: 3 Things to Check Before Buying Your LU Barquettes

Choosing a filled soft cake like the LU Barquette may seem straightforward, but a few details on the packaging can guide your decision. Here is some practical advice to help you with your selection.

1. Check the ingredients list

A product's composition is the most objective source of information. For a fruit boat-shaped cake, for instance, it's worth checking the percentage of fruit purée listed. This gives you an idea of the intensity of the fruity taste. For chocolate versions, the presence of ingredients like hazelnut paste can indicate a richer flavour.

2. Compare the nutritional information

Nutritional tables, which are mandatory in Europe, are an invaluable tool. By comparing the values per 100g, you can easily assess the sugar, fat, and energy content across different varieties. This is a useful habit, especially for parents preparing a kids' snack.

3. Choose the right pack size for your needs

LU Barquettes are available in various packaging formats. Individual packs are convenient for slipping into a bag, while larger multipacks can be more economical for regular family consumption. Consider how you'll use them to get the most value from your purchase.
