For a single serving with your Friday evening drinks, look for a pack of individually wrapped fruit jellies: Auchan lists Gayelord Hauser in 5 × 25 g packs and Gerblé in 6 × 27 g packs, rather than as bars sold separately. If you’re hosting several people, an assortment may be a better way to offer a choice of flavours, but check how it’s packaged. To compare products, check the sugar content per 100 g and the Nutri-Score, if shown.
If you want to enjoy one fruit jelly without opening a whole pack, look for individually wrapped portions. Auchan’s listings for Gayelord Hauser and Gerblé give pack sizes of 5 × 25 g and 6 × 27 g respectively: both are packs containing several portions.
If several people will be dipping into the same pack, the flavours and number of pieces may matter more than individual wrapping. The products listed by Carrefour and E.Leclerc are a reminder to check how your chosen assortment is packaged.
If sugar, ingredients or the Nutri-Score are important to your choice, compare the nutritional information per 100 g. According to Santé publique France, the Nutri-Score is optional, supplementary information, so its absence doesn’t tell you what a product’s rating would be.
For Friday evening drinks, start with what matters most to you: keeping a portion for yourself, comparing labels or offering several flavours to share.
| What to consider | What to check | Who is it for? |
|---|---|---|
| Individual portions | Look for a statement that each piece is individually wrapped, and check the weight of each one, for example 5 × 25 g or 6 × 27 g. | I want to have a fruit jelly without opening the other portions in the pack. Around 45% of consumers prioritise having a single serving. |
| Nutritional information | Compare the sugar content per 100 g, then check the amount per portion. Look for the Nutri-Score if it appears on the product. | Before choosing a format, I want to compare what each fruit jelly contains on the same basis. Around 33% of consumers put this nutritional check first. |
| Flavours to share | Check the flavours, number of pieces and packaging before choosing an assortment. | When I’m planning drinks with friends, I’m mainly looking for flavours I can offer my guests. Around 22% of consumers prioritise having a variety to share. |
The presence of fruit doesn’t tell you everything about a product’s ingredients. Auchan’s listing for a Saint-Siffrein product, for example, includes fruit pulp, sugar and glucose syrup.
Read the ingredients list and compare the sugar content per 100 g. Then check the amount in the portion you plan to serve.
Santé publique France describes the Nutri-Score as optional, supplementary information. The nutritional declaration required for relevant pre-packed foods is a separate requirement.
If the rating is one of your criteria, check that it’s shown on the product. If there’s no logo, don’t assume what its rating is or whether it meets any particular standard.
The word “assortment” tells you about the variety inside, but doesn’t necessarily mean each fruit jelly is individually wrapped. If you’re buying for yourself, this difference affects how you can use the pack.
Look for a clear statement such as “individually wrapped” or a breakdown of the total weight into portions.
E.Leclerc’s listing for one fruit jelly product says it isn’t sold on its website and recommends contacting the store to check availability.
If you’re planning drinks for the same day, check with the store that your chosen product is available.
This could save you a wasted trip if you’re unable to buy the product you had in mind.

This pack is a good choice if you’re planning to serve several fruit jellies with drinks and nibbles: the product name indicates six pieces weighing 180 g in total. If you’re looking for an individually wrapped piece or choosing based on the Nutri-Score, check these details on the pack before buying.
No. Santé publique France explains that the Nutri-Score is optional information, supplementary to the nutritional declaration required for relevant pre-packed foods. So a product without the logo doesn’t necessarily have a poor rating.
Compare the nutritional values per 100 g, then check the weight of the portion you plan to eat. The DGCCRF explains that showing nutritional information per 100 g makes it easier to compare products.
No, it may be part of a multipack. At Auchan, the Gayelord Hauser 5 × 25 g and Gerblé 6 × 27 g products are listed as packs of individually wrapped portions. Check the packaging if you’re looking to buy just one piece.
Follow the instructions on the pack you buy. For its individually wrapped product, Auchan’s Gerblé listing recommends storing it away from heat and moisture.
Yes, if the ingredients matter to your choice. An Auchan listing for Saint-Siffrein fruit jellies includes fruit pulp, sugar and glucose syrup. Check the ingredients list on the pack you choose to see exactly what it contains.
