For a platter on your Easter coffee table, choose a pack of loose biscuits. If you want to serve biscuits on several occasions, look for individually wrapped portions. Compare the stated number of biscuits or portions with your plans, and always check the exact packaging for guests with allergies or dietary requirements.
You want to put biscuits on a platter and estimate in advance how many you can serve. Jumbo lists around 32 biscuits in a 250 g pack of Lotus Biscoff; the weight and number of biscuits may differ in another pack size.
You’re looking for a suitable option for a mixed group. Check the ingredients, allergens and any warnings for the exact product variant: a vegan label alone doesn’t tell you whether it contains wheat or soya.
You’re looking for a pack that several people can help themselves to. A higher pack weight doesn’t always tell you how many individual biscuits or portions you’ll get, so check both details when planning your spread.
First decide whether you’re filling a platter or want to keep portions separate. Then check the quantity and product information for the guests you’re serving.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Enough biscuits | Check the pack weight and, if stated, the number of biscuits or portions. Jumbo lists around 32 biscuits in a 250 g pack of Lotus Biscoff. | If I’m filling a platter for several guests, I want to know how many biscuits I can serve. Around 40% of consumers put this first. |

Check the online product information before ordering, then read the label on the pack you receive before serving the biscuits. Check the exact variant, including any warnings, especially if a guest has a food allergy.
According to Jumbo’s product descriptions, Lotus Biscoff 250 g and XL 2P x 10 are labelled vegan. This applies to these variants and doesn’t mean they’re allergen-free: the descriptions list wheat and soya.
Follow the instructions on the packaging of the product you’ve bought. Joybuy’s product information for Lotus Biscoff 250 g recommends resealing the pack securely after opening.
Don’t assume the same products will be available for your next Easter shop. An earlier seasonal page doesn’t confirm future availability, so check the current range when you shop.
