If everyone needs to be able to pick up their own sealed portion with their morning coffee, consider Aviateur Kano's Per Wikkel 230 g, but check before buying that every biscuit is individually wrapped. If you’re serving the biscuits straight from a platter, a standard multipack may be suitable. Match the number of portions to your group, and check the allergen information on the label before serving.
If colleagues or visitors will be helping themselves to a biscuit, you’ll want to know in advance whether each portion has its own sealed wrapper. The ‘Per Wikkel’ label on PLUS’s Aviateur listing is a useful clue, but you’ll still need to check the pack.
If you’re putting the biscuits straight on a platter, a multipack may be enough. Albert Heijn lists 6 portions in its 270 g pack, while Jumbo lists 5 portions in its 275 g pack. This helps you match the number of packs to your group.
If you’re buying for other people, check the ingredients and allergen information on the pack you’re serving. Depending on the variety, the biscuits mentioned here contain ingredients such as wheat or gluten, milk, egg, soya and almond.
First decide whether each person needs their own sealed portion. Then check the number of portions and read the label before serving.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Individual wrapping | Check whether the pack says the biscuits are individually wrapped and whether each one has its own sealed wrapper. The words ‘Per Wikkel’ alone don’t confirm this. | If visitors are helping themselves, I want each portion to stay sealed until they open it. Around 42% of consumers prioritise individual wrapping. |
| Pack size and number of portions | Compare the number of portions with the size of your group, and check the storage instructions for an opened pack. Albert Heijn lists 6 portions per 270 g; Jumbo lists 5 portions per 275 g. | For a small coffee break, I want to put out enough biscuits without opening more packs than necessary. Around 33% of consumers prioritise a suitable portion size. |
| Allergens | Check the ingredients, highlighted allergens and any ‘may contain’ statements on the pack you’re buying. | When I’m putting something out for others, I want to check first that the ingredients are suitable for them. Checking allergens is the top priority for around 25% of consumers. |
PLUS uses this label for Aviateur Kano's Per Wikkel 230 g, but it doesn’t tell you how many biscuits have their own wrapper. This matters if visitors need to be able to pick up a sealed portion themselves.
Before buying, check the wording on the pack and make sure each biscuit is individually wrapped and sealed.
Albert Heijn’s 6 portions and Jumbo’s 5 portions help you plan how much to buy, but they don’t tell you whether each individual biscuit is wrapped.
Use the portion count to plan for the size of your group. Check the wrappers separately if you need sealed portions to hand out.
Ingredients and allergens vary between varieties. A familiar brand name is no substitute for checking the information on the pack you’re actually serving.
Before serving, check the ingredients, highlighted allergens and any ‘may contain’ warnings. Don’t serve the product to anyone if you can’t confirm the information they need.
