If you’re shopping for several lunchboxes for the week, an individually portioned multipack is a good choice when you want each serving ready to go without repacking. REWE lists Lorenz Saltletts Mini Pretzels in a 3 × 40 g format. A larger bag gives you more flexibility over portion sizes, but you’ll need suitable containers and somewhere dry to store it. For either option, check the actual serving size, ingredients, allergens and salt information on the specific pack.
Which pack suits you?
Planning lunchboxes for several days
If you’re preparing several lunchboxes and don’t want to portion out snacks each time, look for packs that are genuinely divided into individual servings. Alongside a 150 g bag, REWE lists Lorenz Saltletts Mini Pretzels in a multipack of 3 × 40 g.
Households that portion snacks themselves
A larger bag can be divided between several snack breaks, provided you have suitable containers and store the remainder in a dry place after opening. REWE and EDEKA24 list salted pretzels in 250 g packs, among other options.
Households keeping an eye on ingredients and salt
If particular ingredients or the salt content matter to your choice, compare the figures per 100 g with the details on the pack you’re actually buying. The pretzel varieties described by REWE and EDEKA24 contain wheat; other precautionary allergen statements vary by product.
What to look for when buying
First decide whether you want the lunchbox portions to be individually wrapped or would rather prepare them yourself. Then compare the pack details with the amount you actually want to pack.
| Criteria |
What to check |
Who it matters to |
| Portioning |
Check whether the pack contains separate portions and how many grams are in each. A single 120 g bag is not a multipack of 3 × 40 g. |
I want to pack a defined portion for several days without having to transfer it in the morning. For around 46% of consumers, this convenience is the main priority. |
| Stocking up and storage |
Compare the total quantity and check the storage instructions. An airtight container is useful for storing what’s left in an opened bag. |
I want one bag to last for several snack breaks, and I can prepare the portions myself. Around 36% of consumers mainly value this flexibility when stocking up. |
| Ingredients and salt |
Read the ingredients, allergens and precautionary statements on the current pack. You can work out the salt content for your planned portion using the figure per 100 g. |
When I’m shopping for a lunchbox, I mainly want to know what ingredients the product contains and how much salt is in the portion I’ve chosen. This is the top priority for around 18% of consumers. |
Common buying mistakes
-
Assuming a large bag is an individually portioned multipack
A 250 g bag doesn’t automatically give you separate lunchbox portions. If you want to plan without repacking, check that the pack clearly states the number and weight of its individual portions.
Look for formats such as the Lorenz Saltletts Mini Pretzels multipack of 3 × 40 g listed by REWE. If you choose a larger bag, make sure you have containers ready for portioning it yourself.
-
Confusing the salt content per 100 g with the amount in one serving
Nutrition information is given per 100 g, but your lunchbox may contain a different amount. For its listed Lorenz Saltletts Mini Pretzels variety, REWE gives a salt content of 3.3 g per 100 g; EDEKA24 lists 4.5 g per 100 g for Gut & Günstig salted pretzels. These figures apply to the products described.
Check the figure on the pack you buy and work it out for the portion you’ll actually pack.
-
Choosing based on the brand or product image alone when checking allergens
The Lorenz and ja! varieties described by REWE contain wheat. For Lorenz, possible traces of sesame, milk and egg are listed; for ja!, possible traces of sesame, milk and soya are listed. Packs that look similar shouldn’t be assumed to have the same ingredients.
Check the ingredients list, highlighted allergens and precautionary statements on the exact variety you’re buying.

Frequently asked questions
When is a salted pretzel multipack a good choice for lunchboxes?
An individually portioned multipack is a good choice when you want several separate servings ready to go without repacking. REWE lists Lorenz Saltletts Mini Pretzels in a 3 × 40 g format; with a larger bag, you can portion out snacks for the week yourself instead.
How do I work out the salt content of a 40 g portion?
Multiply the salt figure per 100 g on the specific pack by 0.4. For example, if it lists 3.3 g of salt per 100 g, a 40 g portion contains 1.32 g of salt. Check the figure for the variety you’ve bought rather than using one from a different pack size.
Which allergen details should I check on salted pretzels?
Check the ingredients list and highlighted allergens on the specific pack, as well as any precautionary statements. The Lorenz Saltletts Mini Pretzels and ja! Mini Pretzels varieties described by REWE contain wheat, but differ in the other possible traces listed.
Can I rely on discount-store salted pretzels being available for my weekly shop?
If you’re relying on a particular product sold in store, plan an alternative. ALDI SÜD marked its 250 g salted pretzels as unavailable at a store checked, and notes that nutrition values may vary between suppliers. So check availability and the label in store.
