Choose twin packs if you want to hand out individual portions without passing around an opened pack. A large pack or several rolls is better when you want to portion the biscuits yourself for a group. Compare the quantity and check the ingredients and allergens on the current label for each variety.
If you’re serving biscuits with a drink to several people, twin packs mean you don’t have to keep sharing from the same opened pack. Jumbo lists both Lotus Biscoff XL and Oreo Original in packs of 10 bags, each containing 2 biscuits.
Check the total number of biscuits, the net weight and whether they’re arranged in bags or rolls. ALDI, for example, lists María biscuits in four 200 g rolls. This is a different format from individually wrapped twin packs.
Check the exact variety before sharing the biscuits. The European Union requires allergen information on prepacked foods; the information on the packaging helps you check the specific product.
First decide whether you want individually wrapped portions or would rather share biscuits from a pack yourself. Then check the quantity and the label for your chosen variety.
| What to consider | What to check | Who it’s for |
|---|---|---|
| Handing out portions | Count the individual bags and check how many biscuits are in each one. A large pack isn’t automatically portioned for each person. | When I’m serving biscuits to several people with coffee, I don’t want to keep sharing from an open pack. Around 44% of consumers prioritise individually wrapped portions. |
| Quantity | Compare the number of biscuits, the net weight and whether they’re arranged in rolls or bags. | When I’m buying for a larger group, I want to take enough, even if I have to portion the biscuits myself. Around 33% of consumers prioritise the total quantity. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients list and allergen information for the exact variety, including warnings such as ‘may contain milk’. | When I’m bringing something for people with specific dietary requirements, I want to know what’s in the biscuits before sharing them. Ingredients and allergens are the first consideration for around 23% of consumers. |
Four rolls or a pack with lots of biscuits doesn’t mean everyone gets their own sealed portion.
If you want to hand out portions without dividing them yourself, look for a clear format such as ‘10 x 2’ or ‘wrapped in pairs’.
