A larger bag could work for a shared office snack stash if the quantity matches how much you’ll eat and the contents can be stored as directed on the pack once opened. For separate, pre-prepared breaks, a multipack with individually wrapped portions is a more obvious choice. Whichever format you choose, check the ingredients, allergen information and nutritional values on the pack you buy.
If several people are eating from the same stash, pack size matters more than a portion to take away. REWE, EDEKA and ALDI SÜD stock or list salted pretzels or mini pretzels in 250 g bags. Only buy as much as you expect to use, following the stated storage instructions.
If you’re packing separate snacks for several working days, look for individually wrapped portions. Lorenz Snacks lists a 3 × 40 g multipack of Saltletts Mini Brezel. This is a different format from a shared bag that’s opened all at once.
If wheat, other allergen information or the amount of salt matters to your choice, don’t decide on brand and bag size alone. Compare the ingredients list and nutritional values per 100 g on the packs of the specific products.
First decide whether you’ll share a bag of pretzels or take separate portions for individual breaks. Then check how much you need and the information on the relevant pack.
| Criterion | What to check | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Bag size | Compare the net weight with how much you plan to eat. If you’re opening a bag to share, follow the storage instructions. | For a team, one bag should last through regular breaks without being left open for longer than planned. Around 33% of consumers put choosing the right quantity first. |
| Individual portions | Check the number and weight of the individual packs, such as the 3 × 40 g Lorenz Saltletts Mini Brezel multipack. | If you pack a snack separately for each working day, you may not want to portion it out from an open shared bag. For around 27% of consumers, this is the main consideration. |
| Ingredients and nutritional values | Read the ingredients list, allergen information and salt content per 100 g on the specific pack. | If I need to take certain ingredients into account or work out how much salt is in my portion, I need the information for the product I’m buying. This is the most important selection criterion for around 20% of consumers. |
| Available format | Check that the pack size you want is available from your chosen retailer or as part of the offer. | If you’re buying snacks for a particular day at the office, you’ll want to be able to rely on the format you’ve planned for. That’s why around 20% of consumers prioritise finding it at their chosen shop. |
A larger pack only suits office life if the pretzels are stored as directed once opened and eaten as planned.
Before you buy, think about how many people will be sharing and whether a bag to share or separate portions better suits your break routine.
A vegan label doesn’t rule out wheat as an ingredient. Lorenz Snacks lists wheat flour in Saltletts Brezel.
If you have specific requirements, read the ingredients list and allergen information on the pack you’re actually buying. Don’t rely on the product name alone.
The figure per 100 g doesn’t tell you directly how much salt is in the portion you’ll eat during a break.
Compare the nutritional values per 100 g and take into account how much you actually plan to pack.
EDEKA notes that its salted pretzels may not be available in every store. ALDI SÜD says SUNSNACKS salted pretzels may come from different suppliers, so nutritional values can vary.
Check that the format you want is available at your chosen shop. Then check the ingredients, nutritional values and best-before date on the pack you buy.
These product ranges offer different bag and portion formats for salted pretzels. Whether a particular product suits your office break depends on the pack size, ingredients and information on the pack you buy.

The term ‘salted pretzels’ doesn’t mean a product is gluten-free. For example, Lorenz Snacks lists wheat flour in Saltletts Brezel. If you need to shop gluten-free, check the specific product’s gluten-free label and ingredients list.
No. A vegan label doesn’t mean that salted pretzels are free from wheat or all possible traces of allergens. Check the ingredients list and allergen information on the pack you buy.
Follow the storage instructions on the relevant pack. For ja! Mini Pretzels, REWE says to store them in a dry place and protect them from heat and light. This information doesn’t replace the instructions on a different product.
