What should you look for when choosing?
Decide what matters most for your get-together: a clearly defined portion, speculoos flavour, nutritional information, or biscuits to keep or share. Then compare the packs that suit your needs.

Who it matters to |
| A clearly defined portion |
Check the number of inner packs and the number of biscuits or bars in each pack you open. According to Albert Heijn, the Lotus Biscoff Pocket Pack contains eight packs, each with two biscuits. |
If I’m opening something just for myself, I want to know how many pieces will be on the table straight away. For around 33% of consumers, a clearly defined portion comes first. |
| Speculoos flavour |
Check which biscuit variety you’re choosing and read the ingredients and allergens on the pack. |
For drinks with friends, I’d rather have the familiar taste of speculoos than a differently formulated cookie bar. Around 27% of consumers prioritise this flavour preference. |
| Nutritional information |
Compare values on the same basis, such as per 100 g, and also check the stated portion and allergens. |
If I’m considering a cookie bar, I want to know what the values mean for the amount I’m opening. This is the most important consideration for around 20% of consumers. |
| Keeping or sharing |
Check the total number of pieces, the weight and whether the bars are individually wrapped. ALDI lists eight Heerlijck Banket Boterkoekreepjes, weighing 300 g in total. |
I also want biscuits for another occasion or to share, without assuming that each bar has its own wrapper. For around 20% of consumers, the quantity is the first thing they consider. |

Frequently asked questions
Does a snack pack contain just one biscuit?
No. According to Albert Heijn, the Lotus Biscoff Pocket Pack contains eight packs, each with two biscuits. So don’t just look at the name on the outer pack; check what’s inside each pack too.
If I have an allergy, can I choose a protein cookie bar based on its nutritional values?
No. Check the ingredients and allergens first. According to Albert Heijn, BitesWeLove Protein cookie bars speculaas contain, among other things, peanuts and cereals containing gluten. Read the current packaging, including any warnings about other allergens.
Where can I find allergen information on prepacked biscuits?
Check the label on the pack. Ondernemersplein states that allergens on the relevant EU list must be shown on the label. Check the pack you’re buying, as ingredients can change.
How should I store biscuit bars or individually portioned biscuits?
Follow the storage instructions and date on the packaging for the product you’ve chosen. Albert Heijn’s product information recommends storing BitesWeLove Protein cookie bars speculaas in a cool, dry, dark place.
Does a product page mean a biscuit bar is still available?
No. Albert Heijn marks the page for the AH Kruidkoekreep as discontinued. Check with the shop that the product you want to buy is actually available.
