If you’re giving fruit jellies to one person for World Music Day, look for gift boxes and small assortments. If you’re serving them to a group, check the net weight and number of portions. Fruit jellies aren’t a box of chocolates, so compare the ingredients, allergens and sugars per 100 g before choosing. Nutri-Score can provide an additional point of reference when it appears on the packaging, but displaying it is optional in France, as the DGCCRF explains.
A gift box or small assortment puts the focus on presentation and a choice of flavours. Monoprix, for example, describes a 112 g, 16-piece Maxim's de Paris gift box, while Auchan offers a 200 g Motta assortment. Check what’s inside before giving it, especially if the recipient needs to avoid certain ingredients.
If you’re serving the sweets to several people, net weight and packaging matter more than how the gift box looks. Auchan offers a 1 kg Jacquot pack and Saint Siffrein fruit jellies divided into 24 sachets, weighing 720 g in total.
Before giving or serving fruit jellies, check the ingredients, allergens and nutritional information. The DGCCRF states that nutrition declarations are mandatory for relevant prepacked foods in France, while Nutri-Score is voluntary.
First decide whether the fruit jellies are for one person or to share with a group. Then use the label to compare the options that suit the occasion.
| Priority | What to check | Who is it for? |
|---|---|---|
| Gift presentation | Type of box or gift box; flavours and number of pieces. | If I’m thanking someone, I’d choose an assortment presented as a gift rather than a large sharing bag. Around 40% of consumers prioritise presentation. |
| Sharing | Net weight; number of pieces or individually wrapped sachets. | If I’m putting sweets out for people to enjoy during the celebration, I want to have enough to offer several people. Around 30% of consumers prioritise having a quantity they can share. |
| Checking the label | Ingredients and allergens; sugars per 100 g. | Before serving or giving the product, I need to know what it contains and its nutritional values. Around 30% of consumers put these checks first. |
In France, the DGCCRF explains that displaying Nutri-Score is voluntary. If it’s not shown, you should still read the other information on the packaging.
Compare the nutrition declaration, particularly the sugars per 100 g, then check the ingredients and allergens in the product you’re considering.
The fruit percentage and the amount of sugars measure different things. So a figure highlighted on an assortment doesn’t replace its nutritional information.
To compare two fruit jellies, check the “of which sugars” figure per 100 g on each pack.
The 112 g gift boxes and 200 g assortments listed by Monoprix and Auchan are intended for a different occasion from their larger sharing packs.
First work out how many people you want to serve, then check the net weight, number of pieces and whether the pack contains individual sachets.

No. The DGCCRF states that Nutri-Score is voluntary, whereas nutrition declarations are mandatory for relevant prepacked foods. Compare Nutri-Score if it’s displayed, but don’t make it your only criterion.
Check the product name, ingredients, allergens, net quantity, nutritional information and best-before date. If the recipient needs to avoid an ingredient, rely on the information on the packaging of the exact product.
Yes, as long as you present them as a different kind of sweet and the recipient likes fruity flavours. Fruit jellies aren’t chocolates, so make sure the name and ingredients on the pack are clear to the person receiving them.
Follow the storage instructions on the product you choose. Auchan’s listings for some assortments recommend keeping them away from moisture and heat, so don’t leave them in the sun before serving.
