Which pack is right for you?

Households that regularly keep snacks in

If you buy salted pretzels regularly, you can choose between individual 250 g packs and a larger quantity for your cupboard. The key is how much you expect to get through.

Hosts and larger households

Multi-packs totalling 1.8 or 2.0 kg are worth considering for regular visitors or sharing snacks with a group. Before buying, work out where you can store them in line with the pack instructions.

Shoppers with specific ingredient requirements

If wheat, other ingredients or possible allergen traces matter to your choice, check the labelling on the specific pack. A familiar brand or pack size is no substitute for checking the label.

What to look for when stocking up

First, decide whether you’re buying salted pretzels for everyday snacking or for larger occasions. Then you can check the pack size, labelling and storage requirements to suit your needs.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters to
Pack size for everyday use Compare a single 250 g pack with the total amount in a multi-pack, and consider how much you’ll get through. If I want to keep salted pretzels at home regularly, I only want to stock up on as much as I’m likely to eat. This everyday need is the main priority for around 40% of consumers.
Quantity for occasions Check how many individual packs there are, the total quantity and the best-before date. For regular visits, I need enough salted snacks without having to plan from scratch each time. This quantity for occasions is the main priority for around 30% of consumers.
Ingredients and allergens Read the ingredients list and the allergen and trace information on the specific pack. If I need to avoid certain ingredients, the current labelling determines whether a pack is suitable for me. Around 20% of consumers make this their main consideration.
Salt information and storage Compare the salt per 100 g and check the best-before date and storage instructions. I want to know how much salt is in my portion and how to store my supplies. This check is the top priority for around 10% of consumers.

Common mistakes when stocking up

  • Buying a large quantity without a plan to use it

    Mayka offers, among other options, 12 × 150 g packs of mini pretzels and 8 × 250 g packs of Sticks & Pretzels. Whether you need 1.8 or 2.0 kg depends on how often you actually plan to serve salted snacks.

    Check the best-before date and storage instructions before buying. The Federal Centre for Nutrition notes that factors including air, light, temperature and humidity can affect how long food keeps.

  • Assuming the ingredients from the brand or pack size

    The salted pretzels and pretzel sticks mentioned here are different products. Wheat is listed for the versions described; possible traces of other allergens vary by product.

    Read the ingredients list, highlighted allergens and possible trace information on the current packaging. The Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety explains how important allergenic substances are labelled.

  • Overlooking the salt information

    The salt content is included in the nutritional information for each specific variety. ALDI SÜD lists 4.4 g of salt per 100 g for its 250 g pack of SUN SNACKS salted pretzels; this figure doesn’t automatically apply to other varieties.

    Compare the figure per 100 g and consider how much you plan to serve from the pack.
