Whether you’re packing lunchboxes or handing out portions at a jumble sale, choose a pack that clearly states the number and weight of its portions, such as the six 27 g sachets in the Gerblé product listed by Auchan. For sharing with a group, a large assortment may be suitable if you can confirm how it is actually packaged. Compare the ingredients, allergens and sugar per 100 g too, and don’t assume that a Nutri-Score is required.
Who are these pack sizes for?
Parents packing lunchboxes
A pack that states the number of portions makes it easier to divide them up. The Gerblé product listed by Auchan contains six individual 27 g sachets. Its ingredients also include wheat starch, which may be relevant for some people.
Organisers of a snack table or stall
The total weight and how the fruit jellies are packaged both matter when serving a group. The 720 g and 1 kg assortments listed by Auchan and ALDI respectively are examples of larger packs, but neither is guaranteed to contain individually wrapped portions.
Shoppers who check the labels
Nutrition information per 100 g, ingredients and allergens help you compare products. In France, the DGCCRF states that Nutri-Score is voluntary, while nutrition labelling is generally compulsory for prepacked foods.
What should you look for?
Individual sachets
Choose this if: everyone needs a portion that’s already separated, particularly for a lunchbox.
Bear in mind: there’ll be more packaging to deal with. Portion-sized packaging doesn’t mean you can skip checking the ingredients and allergens.
Large assortment
Choose this if: the total quantity matters most for a stall or a group snack.
Check: Auchan’s listing title for the 720 g Saint Siffrein product says it contains 24 sachets, but the product details also state ‘Individual sachets: No’.
Small box
Choose this if: you’re expecting a small group or want a limited quantity, such as the 180 g Carrefour Extra box.
Bear in mind: check how you’ll divide up the contents if everyone needs to leave with a separate portion.
| What to consider |
What to check |
Who is it for? |
| Separate portions |
Whether the pack says it contains individual sachets, the number of pieces and the weight of each portion. |
If I’m packing lunchboxes, I need portions that are already separate so I don’t have to divide up the contents at the last minute. Around 42% of consumers make this their priority. |
| Quantity to share |
The net weight, the stated number of pieces and how the product is actually packaged. |
If I’m serving a group at a jumble sale, I want a quantity that’s suitable for sharing above all. This is the priority for around 33% of consumers. |
| Label |
Sugar per 100 g, the ingredients list and the allergens in the product you choose. |
Before choosing a pack size, I need to compare the nutrition information and ingredients for the people who’ll be receiving the sweets. Around 25% of consumers prioritise checking this information. |
Things to bear in mind
-
Rejecting a product because it has no Nutri-Score
The DGCCRF states that this label is voluntary in France, so the absence of a logo isn’t enough to judge whether a fruit jelly complies with regulations or what it contains.
Compare the sugar per 100 g, ingredients and allergens. Use Nutri-Score as additional information when it appears on the packaging.
-
Assuming a multipack means individually wrapped portions
Auchan’s listing title for the 720 g Saint Siffrein product says it contains 24 sachets, while a product detail on the same page states ‘Individual sachets: No’.
If you’re packing lunchboxes, check the packaging or ask the shop to confirm that each portion is wrapped separately.
Otherwise, you may have to divide up and wrap the contents yourself.
-
Guessing the allergens from the product name
The Gerblé product listed by Auchan contains wheat starch, while Monoprix’s Andros Sport listing states that it contains gluten. A fruit-themed name is no substitute for checking the label.
Check the ingredients and allergens for the exact variety you plan to hand out.

ALDI’s 1 kg SEASONS BEST assortment was featured in a limited offer from 29 September to 5 October 2026, while stocks lasted.

Brands to consider by pack size
Gerblé
The product listed by Auchan contains six individual 27 g sachets, giving a total of 162 g.
- The number and weight of the portions are stated.
- It contains wheat starch. The individual packaging alone doesn’t tell you anything about its nutritional profile.
Saint Siffrein
Auchan lists a 720 g assortment, with 24 sachets stated in the product title.
- The total weight makes it a possible option for sharing with a group.
- The same listing states ‘Individual sachets: No’. Check how it’s packaged before planning separate portions to take away.
Andros Sport
Monoprix lists an x6 pack with apricot and banana, and red berry flavours.
- The x6 pack states the number of pieces.
- The listing we checked shows a Nutri-Score D and states that it contains gluten. Its sporty positioning doesn’t automatically make it a suitable choice for lunchboxes.
Carrefour Extra
Carrefour lists a 180 g box in apricot, blackberry and pear flavours.
- The weight and flavours are stated for this product.
- The listing we checked doesn’t say whether the portions are individually wrapped.
SEASONS BEST
