Who is each option for?

People putting together a sharing table

When you’re serving several guests, the pack’s weight isn’t the only thing to consider. Check the number of portions and whether the sweets are individually wrapped.

People who prefer to give fruity flavours

Fruit jellies are a fruity confectionery option, not a substitute for a specific request for chocolate. Compare the ingredients and sugar per 100 g, and don’t mistake these sweets for whole fruit.

Hosts who need to check the ingredients

If any guests have allergies, intolerances or dietary preferences, check the ingredients list and allergens for the exact product before serving it.

What should you check before choosing?

What to consider What to check Who is it for?
Pack size for sharing Net weight, number of portions and whether the sweets are individually wrapped. When I’m putting together a table for several guests, I want to know how many pieces I can serve. Around 33% of consumers prioritise sharing.
Type of confectionery Whether you’d prefer fruit jellies to share or a chocolate gift box to give. If the recipient is expecting chocolate, a fruity assortment won’t meet the same need. Around 25% of consumers prioritise this choice of category over other criteria.
Nutritional content Sugar per 100 g and ingredients list; Nutri-Score if displayed. When comparing two types of confectionery for the same occasion, I check their sugar content rather than relying on the word ‘fruit’. Around 25% of consumers prioritise this comparison.
Suitability for your guests Ingredients, allergens, warnings and storage instructions for the exact product. Before serving an assortment to people with dietary restrictions, I need to be able to check every recipe. This is the top priority for around 17% of consumers.

What mistakes should you avoid?

  • Assuming ‘fruit’ means low in sugar

    Fruit jelly recipes can contain sugar and glucose syrup. Auchan lists 69 g of sugars per 100 g for its 180 g assortment.

    To compare similar products, check the sugar per 100 g and the ingredients list instead of judging the contents by the product name.

  • Confusing Nutri-Score with mandatory nutrition information

    The DGCCRF distinguishes between the nutrition declaration required for applicable prepacked foods and the Nutri-Score logo, which is optional in France.

    If the logo appears on the packaging, use it as additional information, and check the nutrition values and ingredients too.

  • Relying on a seasonal offer without checking its dates

    ALDI France advertised its 1 kg SEASONS BEST® assortment from 29 September to 5 October 2026, while stocks lasted.

    Before planning to serve this assortment at your party, check that the offer is still available at the store you’re visiting.

  • Assuming all fruit jellies have the same recipe

    Carrefour lists an Andros Sport Strawberry Banana product that mentions guarana extracts and caffeine. Don’t assume that another product has the same ingredients based on its name.

    If children or teenagers are coming to your party, check each product’s name and ingredients before making it available to them.

Frequently asked questions

Is Nutri-Score mandatory on fruit jellies in France?

No. The DGCCRF says that displaying it is optional, unlike the nutrition declaration required for applicable prepacked foods. If the logo appears on a product, you can use it alongside the nutrition information and ingredients.

What should you check if guests have allergies or dietary restrictions?

Check the ingredients, allergens and any warnings on the packaging of the exact product, including when an assortment contains several flavours. A description such as ‘fruit’ isn’t enough on its own to confirm that a product is suitable for every guest.

How should you store fruit jellies until the party?

Follow the instructions on the packaging you’ve bought. For its 720 g SAINT SIFFREIN assortment, Auchan advises storing it away from damp and heat, between 18 °C and 20 °C. Check the instructions for any other product you choose.
