Shoppers keeping an eye on pack size
If you’re shopping for just one TV night, the quantity in each pack matters. A smaller pack may be a better fit for what you actually want to put on the table.
Which option suits whom
Planning for several evenings or a group
If you’re sharing with several people or expect to have leftovers, the total quantity, a mix of sticks and pretzels, and resealable packaging become more important.
Shoppers with specific ingredient requirements
If you need to check certain ingredients or allergen traces, or want to compare salt content, the labelling on the specific pack is what matters.
What to look for when buying
When choosing salted pretzels for a TV night, it helps to start by deciding what matters most to you: the right quantity, checking the ingredients and salt content, a format for sharing, or specific product labelling.
| Criteria | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity for one evening | Pack weight and the amount you’re likely to need. | If I’m watching alone or with one other person, I don’t want to open more than we’re likely to eat. This quantity requirement is the main consideration for around 33% of consumers. |
| Salt and ingredients | Salt per 100 g, plus the ingredients and allergen trace information on the pack. | If you want to compare salt content or avoid certain ingredients, you’ll need the information for the specific product. This is the main concern for around 27% of consumers. |
| Format for several evenings | Total quantity, a mix of sticks and pretzels, and the closure. | For our small group, I’d like to offer different shapes and store any leftovers. Around 20% of consumers value this above all. |
| Specific labelling | The labelling you need and the full ingredients list; for allergies, check allergen trace information too. | If gluten-free salted pretzels are a requirement for me, the product shape alone isn’t enough to help me choose. This is the top priority for around 20% of consumers. |
Common selection mistakes
-
Choosing a pack size that doesn’t suit the evening
A larger pack isn’t automatically more practical if you’ll only eat a little. For several people or more than one evening, a different format may be a better fit.
Before you buy, think about how many people will be sharing and whether you want to keep any leftovers.
-
Assuming gluten-free means free from all allergens
The gluten-free Schär Salinis listed by REWE contain soya lecithin and may contain traces of sesame.
Even with salted pretzels labelled gluten-free, read the full ingredients list and allergen trace information.
-
Looking only at salt per 100 g
EDEKA24 lists Gut & Günstig salted pretzels as containing 4.5 g of salt per 100 g. The amount of salt you get from a snack also depends on how much you eat.
Compare the nutrition information per 100 g and take into account how much you’re likely to eat.
-
Not checking the pack’s labelling
ALDI SÜD notes that different suppliers may provide SUNSNACKS salted pretzels, so the nutritional information may vary.
Before buying, check the ingredients and nutrition information on the pack actually being offered.
