People hosting a crêpe night
When you’re serving several guests, the total weight and the number of pieces tell you different things. Auchan, for example, offers a 30-piece Vendôme assortment weighing 375 g, as well as a 1 kg Jacquot assortment.
Who are these sizes for?
Parents preparing lunchboxes
Individually portioned sweets can be easier to divide between several bags than a box designed for sharing at the table. Check the packaging and allergens for the product you choose.
People comparing labels
Sugars per 100 g, ingredients and allergens can help you assess each recipe. The DGCCRF states that Nutri-Score is voluntary in France, while a nutrition declaration is required for prepacked foods, subject to certain exemptions.
What should you look for before buying?
First decide whether you’ll mainly serve the fruit jellies at the table or divide them between lunchboxes. Then check the label for the recipe you’ve chosen.
| What to consider | What to check | Who is it for? |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity and serving | Net weight and number of pieces, where stated. | If you’re serving fruit jellies to several guests, you’ll want enough to go round without having to count out portions at the last minute. Around 45% of consumers would prioritise quantity and serving. |
| Portions to take away | Number of units and whether they’re individually wrapped. | If you’re filling several lunchboxes, you’ll want portions that are easy to separate rather than one box to share. Around 33% of consumers would prioritise this. |
| Label and allergens | Sugars per 100 g, ingredients and allergens for the exact product. | Before offering sweets to other people, you’ll want to be able to check the ingredients and identify any allergens. This would be the top priority for around 22% of consumers. |
Things to bear in mind
-
Ruling out a box because it doesn’t display Nutri-Score
According to the DGCCRF, displaying Nutri-Score is voluntary in France. However, prepacked food must still include a nutrition declaration when one is required.
Compare the nutrition information per 100 g and the ingredients list. Use Nutri-Score as an extra source of information if it appears on the packaging.
-
Confusing a pack for taking away with a sharing box
The Andros Sport x6 pack weighs 180 g, compared with 375 g for Auchan’s 30-piece Vendôme box. Six units won’t meet the same serving needs as a large assortment.
Estimate how many guests you’ll have before choosing the weight or number of pieces. Save smaller packs for portions on the go or as an extra treat for the table.
-
Assuming fruit sweets are suitable for everyone
Fruit jelly product listings checked at E.Leclerc and Monoprix mention gluten or traces of gluten and nuts, depending on the product.
Ask your guests about their dietary requirements and check the allergens on the packaging of the product you’ll be serving.

Relying on a limited-time offer to plan your evening
ALDI France’s 1 kg assortment offer ran from 29 September to 5 October 2026, while stocks lasted. A product appearing in a catalogue doesn’t guarantee it’ll be available through your chosen online grocery service, either.
Confirm the offer and availability at the store or collection point where you plan to shop.
