For a sharing table or a hamper for everyone to enjoy, choose an assortment to share. For gift bags or lunchboxes, check how many individual sachets or bars are included. Then compare the net weight, ingredients, allergens and nutritional information per 100 g. In France, the DGCCRF says that Nutri-Score is optional, so if it isn’t shown, you’ll still need to check the label.
If you’re buying fruit jellies to share, check the total weight and the flavours on offer before choosing a box. Auchan, for example, lists a 1 kg Jacquot assortment with four recipes. This format shouldn’t be confused with individually wrapped portions.
For gift bags, guests or lunchboxes, a pack with the number of pieces clearly stated makes it easier to divide them up. Depending on the product, Auchan and Monoprix list packs with 24 sachets or five to six bars.
Before sharing confectionery with a group, check the ingredients, allergens and sugars per 100 g for the product you’ve chosen. The DGCCRF distinguishes between the nutrition declaration, which is mandatory for prepacked foods subject to certain exemptions, and the optional Nutri-Score.
For a Christmas market, start by thinking about how you’ll hand out the fruit jellies: for everyone to help themselves, in pre-counted portions, or after checking the recipe for a group of guests.
| Criteria | What to check | Who is it for? |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity to share | Net weight, flavours and whether the pieces are individually wrapped. | If I’m filling a table or a hamper for everyone to share, I’d prioritise a quantity that can be divided up rather than a set number of portions. Around 37% of consumers are thought to put this need first. |
| Portions to hand out | Number of sachets or bars and the weight of each one. | If I’m putting together gift bags or lunchboxes, I want to be able to count how much everyone will get and carry it easily. Around 36% of consumers are thought to prioritise this. |
| Recipe and label | Ingredients, allergens and sugars per 100 g; Nutri-Score if displayed. | If I’m buying fruit jellies for people whose dietary requirements I need to know about, the exact recipe matters more than the pack size. This is thought to be the main priority for around 27% of consumers. |
An assortment to share and a pack of bars aren’t divided up in the same way, even if both contain several fruit jellies.
If you’re handing them out, check the stated number of sachets or bars. Auchan, for example, lists a Saint Siffrein assortment with 24 sachets and a Roy René pack with five bars.
The DGCCRF says that this label is optional in France. Its absence alone doesn’t mean that a prepacked product fails to meet labelling requirements.
Compare the nutritional information and read the ingredients and allergens. If several similar products display a Nutri-Score, you can use it as an additional guide.
Recipes vary from one product to another. Auchan’s listings for Saint Siffrein and Roy René show 69 g and 71 g of sugars per 100 g respectively for the products in question.
Check the “sugars” value per 100 g on each pack you’re considering. Don’t try to work out the ingredients from the product name or pack size.
ALDI France’s published assortment offer runs from 29 September to 5 October 2026, while stocks last. These dates don’t cover a Christmas market in December.
When you’re ready to shop, check the current offer and availability at your chosen store.

Monoprix lists Père Louis fruit jellies in a pack of six bars and Andros Sport in a pack of six units. These sizes are worth considering for smaller groups.
ALDI France has published a seasonal fruit jelly assortment under the Seasons Best brand.
Depending on the store you choose, E.Leclerc offers shopping options such as drive collection, collection on foot or delivery.
This Joybuy selection features a pack of six fruit jellies. It’s worth considering for a small group or lunchboxes, rather than for a table everyone will share.

This pack of six fruit jellies is handy for sharing out as small portions to take away. It contains 180 g in total and includes apricot and banana, and red berry flavours. The product listing notes that it contains gluten, including wheat starch. If any recipients have allergies, check the label on the packaging.
No. In France, the DGCCRF says that displaying Nutri-Score is optional. A nutrition declaration is compulsory for prepacked foods, subject to regulatory exemptions, so check it when comparing products.
Start by comparing the net weight and number of units if you need to hand out portions. To compare what’s in them, use the nutritional values per 100 g and read the ingredients list for each product.
Not necessarily. Auchan’s listings for the Saint Siffrein assortment and Roy René bars show 69 g and 71 g of sugars per 100 g respectively. Check the value for the exact product rather than trying to work it out from the fruit content.
Follow the instructions on the packaging you buy. Auchan’s listings for the Jacquot and Saint Siffrein products say to keep them away from moisture and heat. Always follow the storage instructions on your own pack.
Yes, especially if you’re sharing them with other people. Recipes vary: the listing for the six-unit Andros Sport product notes that it contains gluten and wheat starch, among other ingredients. Check the label on the pack you give to each recipient.
