Common mistakes
-
Assuming ‘vegan’ means allergen-free
A label describing a dietary choice doesn’t answer questions about allergens. For Lotus Biscoff Speculoos Belgian chocolate, Albert Heijn lists wheat, milk and soya.
Ask about relevant allergies and check the ingredients and allergen information on the pack you’re handing out.
-
Confusing a bag with a single biscuit
According to Albert Heijn, the chocolate-covered Lotus Biscoff pack contains six bags, each with three biscuits. Giving one sealed bag to each child therefore means three biscuits per treat.
Decide in advance whether that’s the portion you want, then calculate how many bags you need based on the number of children.
-
Assuming plain speculoos or chocolate biscuits are the same product
Lidl lists Sondey Speculoos biscuits, while ALDI lists Biscotto Bakkersspeculaas and chocolate biscuits separately. These product names don’t necessarily mean chocolate-covered speculoos.
If both elements are important for your treat, check the actual packaging to make sure it’s speculoos with a chocolate coating.
-
Waiting until after you buy to check the school rules
According to the Voedingscentrum, schools can set their own rules about what can be handed out. A bag of biscuits won’t necessarily be suitable for every occasion.
Ask the school or childcare setting what’s allowed before buying, and choose a portion that fits.
