Organisers running grab-and-go breaks
A five-pack of individually wrapped 19g servings makes it straightforward to place one snack at each seat, add one to a delegate bag or set out portions on a break table.
Who is this format for?
Organisers managing dietary requirements
Check the exact flavour rather than treating all rice cakes alike. Kallo describes its Organic Lightly Salted cakes as vegan and gluten free, but lists possible milk, sesame and soya; Snack a Jacks flavours have their own ingredient and allergen information.
Buyers planning a choice of flavours
Salt & Vinegar, Sweet Barbecue and Sour Cream & Chive offer different savoury options in five-portion packs. Sour Cream & Chive contains milk, so a flavour mix still needs a label-by-label check.
What should you check before ordering?
Start with how the snacks will be served, then check flavour and dietary suitability before calculating the number of outer packs.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Individual portions | Count inner packs, not just outer packs. The listed Snack a Jacks savoury multipacks each contain five 19g portions; standard whole rice-cake packs need separate portioning. | I want to hand out one wrapped snack per attendee without dividing an open pack during the break. |
| Flavour choice | Compare Salt & Vinegar, Sweet Barbecue and Sour Cream & Chive with the group’s known preferences. Check ingredients as well as flavour names. | A small mix would give attendees a choice, rather than relying on one strong savoury flavour. |
| Allergen information | Read the current label for every variant, including ingredients and precautionary statements. Tesco’s Sour Cream & Chive listing identifies milk in the flavouring; Asda’s Sweet Barbecue listing gives a precautionary allergen statement. | I need to match the snacks to confirmed dietary requirements and keep the relevant pack information available at service. |
| Serving plan | For one snack each, divide the attendee count by five and round up to whole 5 x 19g multipacks. If using whole rice cakes with toppings, plan how they will be portioned and served. | Whether snacks go into delegate bags or onto a staffed table changes which pack format is practical. |
Common ordering mistakes
-
Assuming every rice cake suits the same dietary needs
Ingredients and precautionary allergen statements differ by flavour. Snack a Jacks Sour Cream & Chive contains milk, so a generic “rice cakes” label does not describe every option accurately.
Check each current physical pack against confirmed attendee requirements, and keep its allergen information available through the venue’s serving process.
-
Buying a sharing pack for individual handouts
A standard pack of whole rice cakes needs separate handling if the plan is to give every delegate a portion. A 5 x 19g individually wrapped multipack supplies five distinct servings.
Calculate quantities from the number of inner packs. Choose whole rice cakes when the event has a suitable plan for portioning and any toppings.
-
Ordering one flavour for an unknown group
Salt & Vinegar, Sweet Barbecue and Sour Cream & Chive differ in taste and ingredients; a single flavour may not meet every attendee’s preferences or dietary requirements.
Use confirmed preferences to plan the mix, label the options clearly and arrange a suitable alternative where needed.

Conference catering questions
How many people does one 5 x 19g multipack serve?
One Snack a Jacks 5 x 19g multipack provides five individual snack portions. If the plan is one per attendee, divide the attendee count by five and round up to a whole number of outer packs.
Can one flavour cover everyone’s dietary requirements?
Do not assume that it can. Snack a Jacks Sour Cream & Chive contains milk, while the other listed flavours have their own precautionary allergen statements. Check current physical labels against confirmed attendee requirements and arrange another suitable option where necessary.
Can Kallo lightly salted rice cakes replace individual multipacks?
They suit a different serving plan: Kallo Organic Lightly Salted is a pack of whole rice cakes rather than a verified set of individual snack portions. Kallo describes it as vegan and gluten free, but says it may contain milk, sesame and soya; plan separate portioning and check the label.
Is a mix of savoury multipacks worth considering?
A mix gives attendees a choice when preferences differ, provided each flavour is checked against the group’s dietary requirements. Salt & Vinegar, Sweet Barbecue and Sour Cream & Chive are listed in five-portion formats, but Sour Cream & Chive contains milk.
