Which pack is right for you?

Families sharing chewy spiced biscuits for one evening

A 500 g bag gives you an amount to weigh up against the number of people eating and the rest of your snack spread. Albert Heijn, Jumbo, PLUS and ALDI list chewy spiced biscuits in this size.

Households looking to stock up

If you’re buying for several evenings or to fill the biscuit tin, individual bags in a multipack are an option. Albert Heijn lists a 3-pack containing three separate 500 g bags.

Households that need to choose gluten-free

As well as checking the gluten-free label, check the other ingredients and allergens. The gluten-free Consenza chewy spiced biscuit figures listed by Albert Heijn weigh 125 g and, according to the product information, contain oats and almonds/nuts.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, check that the ingredients are suitable for your household. Then choose an amount for one evening or several occasions, and think about how you’ll store any biscuits left in an opened pack.

What to consider What should you check? Who is this most important for?
Amount for one evening Compare the net weight with the number of people eating. Serving sizes on packs are a guide: Jumbo gives around 36 servings of 14 g for its 500 g bag, while Albert Heijn lists 45 servings of 11 g. When the family shares one bowl, I want to have enough without lots left over. For around 40% of consumers, having an amount that can be shared in one evening is the most important consideration.
Stock for later Check the number of individual bags and the total weight. Albert Heijn’s 3-pack contains three separate 500 g bags. For several snacking occasions, I want to use one bag at a time rather than open everything at once. This is the main consideration for an estimated 30% of consumers.
Ingredients and allergens Read the current label, including the ingredients, allergens and any warnings about possible traces. If a product is labelled gluten-free, check the other allergens too. If someone in my household needs to avoid certain ingredients, the pack needs to be suitable, whatever its size. This comes first for around 30% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Mistaking a multipack for one large bag

    Albert Heijn’s 3-pack contains three separate 500 g bags. For one TV night, you may end up buying more chewy spiced biscuits than you want to use.

    Check the number of bags and the total weight, and think about when you plan to use them.

  • Assuming gluten-free means free from other allergens

    According to Albert Heijn, the gluten-free Consenza option contains oats and almonds/nuts. Ingredients and warnings about possible traces also vary between regular chewy spiced biscuit products.

    Check the full allergen information on the current pack every time you buy.

  • Leaving an opened bag unsealed

    If you’re saving some for another evening, you’ll need a suitable place to store them, especially once the bag has been opened.

    The Voedingscentrum recommends storing biscuits in a cool, dry, dark place in a well-sealed container.
