For lunchboxes and snacks on the go, a multipack with a suitable number of biscuits in each individual packet is handy. If you’re stocking up to share, also check the total number of portions. Before eating, check the current ingredients and allergen information on the packaging, especially if anyone needs to avoid a particular ingredient.
They’re looking for biscuits in individual packets that are easy to take with them, without having to portion them out themselves. Jumbo lists Verkade Lange Nekken as 5 × 2 biscuits, while Albert Heijn lists Lotus Biscoff Speculoos Belgian Chocolate as six packets, each containing three biscuits.
They want biscuits for several snack occasions or people. The total number of biscuits and how they’re divided into individual packets determine how easy the pack is to share.
They want to check the ingredients and allergens listed on the current packaging before buying and eating. This is still important even if they’ve bought the same product before.
Start with the portion you want for each snack occasion. Then check how many portions are in the pack, and read the label if ingredients or allergens matter to you.

| A stash to share | The total number of biscuits and whether they’re divided into individual packets. | For several snack occasions, I want to be able to work out how to share the biscuits without opening a new pack each time. Around 30% of consumers put this way of organising their stash first. |
| Ingredients and allergens | The current ingredients list and allergen information on the packaging. | If I need to avoid an ingredient, I check the label before sharing the biscuits. Around 30% of consumers prioritise this check. |
