A pack of around 390–480 g is a good choice for a shared biscuit tin if you’ll finish it before the use-by date. For a snack set aside for your shift, individually wrapped pairs are more practical. Compare the net weight and check the ingredients and allergens for the exact variety of caramel waffle biscuits.
If colleagues help themselves from the same tin, what matters most is how many caramel waffle biscuits you want to keep in stock and whether you’ll finish the pack before the use-by date. Product listings from Jumbo, ALDI and PLUS show pack sizes ranging from 400 g to 480 g.
A pack divided into smaller portions makes it easier to set aside biscuits for a break before you leave. For example, Jumbo lists a Kanjers pack containing 4 x 2 caramel waffle biscuits.
If you have an allergy or a specific dietary requirement, the label on the exact variety matters more than the pack size or your preferred brand. Allergen information varies between products, so check for any warnings about possible traces of allergens too.
First, decide whether you want a shared stash or a snack packed in advance. Then check the label on the variety you’re actually buying.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Shared stash | Compare the net weight and number of biscuits. Check the use-by date and storage instructions too. | If colleagues are sharing one tin, I want a pack that’s big enough but will still get finished. For around 33% of consumers, the size of the stash is the main priority. |
| Taking portions with you | Check whether the biscuits are individually wrapped or packed in pairs, and how many you want to take for one shift. | I want to pack my snack at home, without opening a large pack during my break. Portions are the biggest consideration for around 25% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients list, allergen information and any ‘may contain’ warnings on the current pack. | If I have an allergy or dietary requirement, I need to know whether this particular variety is suitable. Around 25% of consumers put checking the label first. |
| Snack time during your shift | Decide whether you’re looking for a biscuit for your break or need to pack other food for your shift as well. | I don’t want the contents of the biscuit tin to dictate what I eat all night. For around 17% of consumers, planning when to eat is the first concern. |
A larger pack is only useful if you’ll finish the biscuits before the use-by date and follow the storage instructions.
Choose a pack size based on how many people will be sharing it, and check the date on the packaging.
A pack you don’t finish could go to waste.
A caramel waffle biscuit is a snack, not a replacement for all the other food you may need during a night shift.
Before you leave, think about when you’ll want to eat and pack other food and drink if needed.
According to Jumbo, the 4 x 2 Kanjers variety lists wheat, milk, soya and egg, among other ingredients. It also states that the product may contain nuts. This doesn’t tell you what’s on the label of a different caramel waffle biscuit.
Always check the current ingredients, allergen information and ‘may contain’ wording for the exact variety.
A different version of the same caramel waffle biscuit may have a different weight or pack format.
Check the weight, number of biscuits and pack you’ll receive again when you pick or order it.

Use it to help you plan, but check the label on the product you receive. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains how allergens must be listed on labels; check any ‘may contain’ warning too.
No. Those descriptions don’t tell you on their own which ingredients or allergens are in the exact variety. Check the ingredients list, allergen information and any specific dietary claims on the current pack.
Follow the storage instructions on the pack and seal it securely after opening. If you’re keeping caramel waffle biscuits in stock for several shifts, check the use-by date too.
A caramel waffle biscuit is a snack, not all the food you’ll need for a whole shift. Before you leave, think about whether you want to take food and drink for other breaks too.
