New research from Which? has revealed that portion information is often wrong - and chocoholics might want to look away now. 1 New research from Which? has revealed just how many Quality Street chocolates count as a portion Credit: Alamy The consumer champion surveyed 1,265 Brits on portion sizes, and when they were asked to estimate how many servings popular foods contained, many got it wrong. And for lovers of the toffee penny found in boxes of much-loved Quality Street , it might come as big surprise. A suggested serving for a 200g box of Quality Street is just two individual chocolates. Understandably fans of the sweet treats are not taking to this news lightly and have taken to social media to share their thoughts on the stingy portion. One chocolate lover said: "Who knew two Quality Street sweets are one portion? Makes no sense!" And another added: "Ooh, now I'm craving chocolate - in multiple portions please." While another said: "Realistic portion of Quality Street prob five or six sweets collected from the tin, munched through at which point you go back and repeat." And Quality Street isn't the only thing that showed up surprising results. More than half the people who took part in the survey thought a 225g supermarket pack of halloumi would cover two to four servings. Where the packaging information suggests it should feed seven. Pringles were also among the revelations, with more than a third of people thinking a tub of Pringles contained two to four portions. When actually the packaging suggests it contains six to seven servings of around 13 crisps per person. For those partial to a supermarket meal deal you might be shocked to find out that it is not actually a one portion size. While the sandwich typically included in a meal deal is usually for one person, the drink and snack you get alongside it may be designed for){kind=link}
