What should you check before buying?
Start with the number of people and how you plan to serve the fruit jellies, then compare the labels on the pack sizes that suit your evening.

What to check |
Who is it for? |
| Amount to share |
Net weight and, if stated, the number of pieces or sachets. |
When several guests will be helping themselves, I want to choose an appropriate amount without buying an oversized pack. Around 42% of shoppers put getting the quantity right first. |
| Ingredients and nutritional information |
Sugars per 100 g, ingredients, allergens and Nutri-Score if displayed. |
If I’m comparing two recipes, the fruit name alone doesn’t tell me what’s in them. Checking the label is the main priority for around 33% of shoppers. |
| Serving and leftovers |
Whether the product is individually wrapped, the number of sachets and the weight of each. |
If I want to give everyone an individual portion or avoid opening a large pack for a small group, I look at the packaging first. This is the top priority for around 25% of shoppers. |

Frequently asked questions
Is Nutri-Score compulsory on fruit jellies in France?
No. Santé publique France says that displaying Nutri-Score is voluntary. The European Commission, however, states that a nutrition declaration is required for the vast majority of prepacked foods. Check it even when no Nutri-Score is shown.
How do you compare two different pack sizes?
Compare the nutritional values per 100 g, then check the net weight and the number of sachets or pieces listed. For a TV night, this information will help you choose between a sharing pack and individual portions.
Do you always need a large pack for a TV night?
No. For a small group, the 190 g packs offered by Carrefour or the 300 g packs offered by E.Leclerc could help you avoid leftovers. For a larger group, consider the 720 g or 1 kg selections offered by Auchan, but don’t assume they’re packaged in the same way.
Should you check the allergens in fruit jellies?
Yes, check the allergens for each product before serving it. The Andros Sport product information offered by Monoprix lists gluten, for example. The name ‘fruit jellies’ alone doesn’t guarantee that a product is free from gluten.
What should you do with leftover fruit jellies after your TV night?
Follow the storage instructions on the pack you choose. For the Saint Siffrein and Jacquot selections offered by Auchan, the product information recommends storing them away from heat and moisture.
