Bulk 1 kg instant mixes versus 99 g grab-and-go cups, compared on labour, portion control and allergen labelling.
Stock 1 kg instant mix if you have prep staff and want to pipe, layer or flavour your own dessert. Stock 99 g pudding cups if you need sealed, labelled portions with zero prep. Many cafeterias and care kitchens run both.
Kraft and Shirriff instant mixes come in 1 kg bags, 2 per case, for parfaits, pie fillings and trifles.
Kraft chocolate cups are 99 g, 24 per case. Snack Pack no sugar added cups are 99 g, 48 per case.
Shirriff vanilla and coconut cream mixes are listed gluten-free. Confirm on the bag every delivery.
Mixes made with milk and milk-based cups both carry a milk allergen. Label every portion.
Pre-labelled cups carry their own ingredient list for grab-and-go and tray service.
Oetker lemon instant mix comes in a 500 g calorie-reduced format.
Instant pudding mix is a dry powder you whisk with a cold liquid, usually milk, then portion yourself. Pudding cups are ready-to-eat, sealed single portions.
Mix gives you control over flavour, texture and presentation. Cups give you speed, sealed portions and a printed ingredient label on every serving.
We compared pudding mixes and pudding cups listed as in stock in the Chicken Pieces catalogue on November 9, 2026. We used pack size, case count and the gluten-free or reduced-calorie claims shown in each listing.
We did not invent servings per bag or prep ratios. Follow the preparation directions printed on each mix. For allergen labelling rules we referenced the CFIA allergen and gluten labelling guidance.

Use mix when a cook is already on shift and you want a dessert that looks made in-house. Use cups when portions must be sealed, counted and labelled, such as vending, tray lines and off-site catering.
Milk is the main one. Most instant mixes are prepared with milk, so the finished pudding carries a milk allergen even when the powder alone may not. The Snack Pack no sugar added cups list skim milk in the listing.
Gluten is the second check. The Shirriff vanilla and coconut cream mixes are listed gluten-free. Re-read the bag at every delivery, because formulations change. The CFIA allergen and gluten labelling guidance covers how Canada expects priority allergens and gluten sources to be declared.
Run mix for plated and buffet desserts where presentation matters. Keep a case of cups for late trays, satellite sites and days the dessert cook is off.
Browse powder mixes and flour and baking ingredients for mixes, and grocery for ready-to-eat cups.
