Lunch boxes with separate portions
If you want each lunch box to have its own sealed snack, the number of individual bags is key. Lorenz explicitly describes Saltletts Mini Brezel as a 3 × 40 g multipack.
Which pack is right for you?
Camping groups sharing a snack box
If you can portion out snacks yourself on site, you could choose a larger pack. The type of product matters too: REWE lists Saltletts Cocktail Mix in a 600 g pack, which contains other savoury snacks as well as mini pretzels.
Shoppers checking ingredients or salt
If allergens, ingredients or salt content affect your choice, check the details on the pack you’re actually buying. The Verbraucherzentrale (German consumer advice centre) identifies ingredients, highlighted allergens, net quantity, best-before date and nutritional information as important details on packaged foods.
What should you look for when buying?
First decide whether you need sealed individual portions or can portion the snacks yourself at the campsite. Then compare the type of product and the details on the pack.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Separate portions | Number and weight of the individual bags; “double tray” alone doesn’t mean there are three portions for lunch boxes. | If I’m preparing three lunch boxes, I want to put a sealed portion in each without decanting. Around 50% of shoppers put this first. |
| Shared supply | Total weight and contents: pretzels only, pretzel sticks or a mix. | For a shared snack, I’d rather portion it myself than plan around set individual servings. For around 30% of shoppers, having enough to share is the top priority. |
| Pack information | Ingredients, highlighted allergens, salt in the nutritional information and best-before date on the specific pack. | If anyone I’m travelling with avoids certain ingredients, or I want to compare salt content, the label needs to match the product I’ve chosen. This check is the top priority for around 20% of shoppers. |
Common buying mix-ups
-
Mistaking a double tray for a lunch-box multipack
A 250 g double tray of Saltletts Sticks Classic isn’t the same as three individually wrapped pretzel portions. You may need to decant the snacks for separate lunch boxes.
If you need set individual portions, look for a pack that clearly states the number and weight of its individual bags, such as the 3 × 40 g Saltletts Mini Brezel multipack.
-
Assuming a snack mix contains only pretzels
According to REWE, Saltletts Cocktail Mix contains sticks, Mini Clubs and sea animal crackers as well as mini pretzels. That means the contents won’t be the same in every lunch box.
Check the product name and ingredients. Choose a mix only if the different savoury snacks suit your plans.
-
Relying on online ingredient details without checking
Product information from retailers may differ from the details on the specific packaging. This is especially important if you’re checking ingredients or allergens for anyone travelling with you.
Before buying, read the label on the pack being offered. Before packing, also check the net quantity and best-before date.

Frequently asked questions
Which pack of salted pretzels is right for three lunch boxes?
For three separate, sealed pretzel portions, choose a multipack explicitly labelled 3 × 40 g. Lorenz describes Saltletts Mini Brezel in this format; the three individual portions contain 120 g in total.
Is a 250 g double tray a multipack with individual bags for lunch boxes?
Not necessarily: the 250 g double tray of Saltletts Sticks Classic described by REWE isn’t listed as three individually wrapped pretzel portions. If you need sealed individual portions, check their number and weight on the pack.
How should I store opened savoury snacks while camping?
Follow the storage instructions on the specific pack and keep opened savoury snacks away from moisture. For Lorenz Saltletts Classic, Joybuy specifically advises storing in a dry place and protecting from heat; don’t assume this product-specific advice applies to other varieties.
Should I check the ingredients, allergens and salt on the pack?
Yes. If these details affect your choice, the label on the specific pack is the one to rely on. The Verbraucherzentrale (German consumer advice centre) lists ingredients, highlighted allergens and nutritional information, including salt, among the details shown on packaged foods; online product descriptions may differ from the pack being offered.
