Who are these formats for?

For a little treat on the go

If you’d like to take one fruit jelly with you without opening a whole box, look for a mention of individual sachets and the weight of each one. Auchan provides both details for its Gerblé fruit jellies.

For putting together small Easter baskets

A pack containing several pieces can make it easier to share them between recipients. However, check whether each piece is individually wrapped: a box of six bars won’t necessarily say.

For eating during exercise

If you’re specifically looking for a fruit jelly intended for physical activity, read the usage advice and allergen information for the product you’re considering. Monoprix presents Andros Sport x6 fruit jellies for this purpose.

What should you check before buying?

Whether you’re choosing a portion to take with you or give as a gift, start by checking the actual packaging, then compare the ingredients of the specific product. A product described as bars doesn’t necessarily mean each piece has its own sachet.

What to check Look out for Who is it for?
Individual portions Look for a mention of individual sachets and the weight of one piece. Auchan’s listing for Gayelord Hauser bars gives conflicting information about the packaging. If you want to take one treat with you or hand one out without opening the rest of the pack, you need to be able to identify each portion. Around 31% of consumers prioritise this.
Ingredients and nutritional information Check the sugars per 100 g and per portion, the ingredients list and the Nutri-Score, if shown. Auchan states that one 27 g Gerblé portion contains 18 g of sugars. If you want to compare what each Easter treat contains, the amount per piece matters just as much as the amount per 100 g. Around 38% of consumers say ingredients are their main consideration.
Easter presentation Check the number of pieces, flavours and actual packaging. Monoprix lists Père Louis fruit jellies in a box of six bars. If you’re sharing treats between several baskets, the number of pieces is a key consideration. Around 23% of consumers prioritise this.
For eating during exercise Check the usage advice and allergens for the exact product. Monoprix’s listing for Andros Sport x6 fruit jellies mentions gluten. If you’re buying for physical activity rather than a festive treat, the intended use shown on the packaging is important. Around 8% of consumers put this first.

Things to watch out for

  • Assuming Nutri-Score is compulsory

    According to Santé publique France, displaying it is voluntary. So, if there’s no logo, you can’t assume what score a fruit jelly would receive.

    Use Nutri-Score if it appears on the exact product you’re considering, and also check the ingredients list and nutritional declaration.

  • Confusing a bar with an individually wrapped portion

    Auchan’s description of Gayelord Hauser bars mentions individual wrapping, while a product detail on the same listing says individual sachets are not included.

    Before relying on these bars to fill several baskets, check the packaging or confirm with the shop.

    Without separate sachets, sharing or transporting the pieces may be less convenient than you expect.

  • Taking ‘sport’ to mean it’s nutritionally better

    Monoprix presents Andros Sport x6 fruit jellies as suitable for eating during physical activity and gives this product a Nutri-Score D. Its stated use doesn’t, by itself, tell you whether it’s the right Easter treat for you.

    Compare the nutritional and allergen information for the product you’re thinking of buying, rather than assuming its name means it offers a general benefit.

  • Forgetting to check allergens before sharing

    Information gathered for several products mentions wheat or gluten. E.Leclerc’s listing for Nos Régions ont du Talent fruit jellies also warns that traces of nuts may be present.

    Keep the packaging for each product so you can check its ingredients list and allergen information before handing it out.

Brands to consider

Gerblé

For the 162 g box, Auchan states that it contains six individual 27 g sachets.

  • The weight of each portion is stated; the listing says each one contains 18 g of sugars.
  • The recipe includes wheat starch, so check the allergens on the packaging you choose.

Gayelord Hauser

Auchan lists a fruit jelly product containing five 25 g bars.

  • The listing describes three flavours in this small format.
  • The information about individual sachets is contradictory, so check the packaging if you need each bar to stay separate.

Andros Sport

Monoprix lists an x6 product in apricot and banana and red fruit flavours, intended for eating during physical activity.

  • The usage advice helps distinguish this product from a treat chosen just for Easter.
  • The listing gives it a Nutri-Score D and mentions gluten; this information applies to this specific product.

Père Louis

Monoprix lists a 180 g box of six organic fruit jelly bars.

  • The listing says this recipe contains 55% fruit purée.
  • It also states that there are 71 g of sugars per 100 g, so being organic doesn’t replace the need to read the nutritional information.

Nos Régions ont du Talent

E.Leclerc lists a 180 g box of Provence fruit jellies with red fruits, without describing them as individually wrapped bars.

  • The listing details the fruit purées in this product.
  • It states that there are 72 g of sugars per 100 g, gives it a Nutri-Score D based on the previous calculation method, and warns that traces of gluten and nuts may be present.

Frequently asked questions

Is Nutri-Score compulsory on fruit jellies in France?

No. Santé publique France says that producers display Nutri-Score voluntarily. For prepacked food, also check the ingredients list and nutritional declaration. If the logo isn’t there, you can’t assume the product has a favourable score.

How do you compare the nutritional information for two fruit jellies?

Compare products intended for the same occasion: check the sugars per 100 g, then per piece if the portion weight is stated, and look at Nutri-Score if it appears on the exact product. E.Leclerc says the Nutri-Score D shown for its Nos Régions ont du Talent box is based on the previous calculation method; check the packaging of the product you buy.

What should you check before giving these treats to several people?

Read the allergens highlighted on each pack before sharing the portions. The information for the Gerblé and Andros Sport products featured here mentions wheat or gluten. E.Leclerc’s listing for Nos Régions ont du Talent warns that traces of gluten and nuts may be present.

How should you store fruit jellies until Easter?

Follow the storage instructions and date shown on the packaging of the product you buy. Keep the packaging too if you plan to hand out the pieces separately, so you can refer back to the ingredients and allergen information.
