For a coffee station where employees help themselves to one biscuit, individually wrapped mini biscuits are a sensible choice. If you want to offer a more substantial break-time snack, a pack containing two or more biscuits may be a better fit. Always check how many biscuits are in each individual wrapper, the storage instructions, and the ingredients and allergens for the exact product.
Wants to put out biscuits that employees can take individually, without leaving an open plate of loose biscuits on display. Jumbo Zakelijk describes bulk packs of mini biscuits that are individually wrapped for this purpose.
Is looking for a wrapped portion that offers more than one small coffee biscuit. A twin pack or an individually wrapped biscuit snack could work, provided the number of biscuits per serving suits the occasion.
Needs to check the ingredients, highlighted allergens and any dietary claims for each specific product before adding biscuits to a shared office supply.
First decide whether the biscuit is for a quick coffee break or a more substantial snack. Then check the individual wrapping and the label: an individual wrapper does not always contain exactly one biscuit.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Self-service and storage | Check whether each biscuit is individually wrapped and follow the product’s storage instructions. | I want colleagues to be able to take a biscuit with their coffee without dipping into an open pack; for around 40% of consumers, this kind of self-service is a priority. |
| Portion per break | Check how many biscuits are in each individual wrapper and whether that portion suits a coffee break or a longer break. | For a longer break, I want to offer more than one small biscuit, but a larger portion may not be wanted with coffee. For around 30% of consumers, getting the portion size right is the deciding factor. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients list, highlighted allergens and any warnings on the packaging of the exact product. | When colleagues have different dietary requirements, I don’t want to rely on the packaging format or a dietary claim; around 30% of consumers prioritise checking ingredients and allergens. |
A wrapper may contain several biscuits. Jumbo lists two biscuits per wrapper for Lotus Biscoff XL and three per pack for a Biscoff chocolate variety. So, handing out one pack does not always mean handing out one biscuit.
Check the contents of each individual wrapper and plan servings around the packs employees will actually take.
A claim such as vegan suitability does not tell you which allergens a product contains. Jumbo’s product information lists wheat and soya for Lotus Biscoff XL; the chocolate variety mentioned also contains milk.
For each product you choose, check the current ingredients list, highlighted allergens and any warning about the possible presence of allergens.

Choose a biscuit wrapped individually if you want to serve one small portion with each coffee. A twin pack or tripack is more suitable when you want to offer a larger portion; for example, Jumbo lists two biscuits per wrapper for Lotus Biscoff XL and three per pack for a Biscoff chocolate variety.
Follow the storage instructions and best-before date on the exact pack. Jumbo says to store the Lotus Biscoff chocolate variety mentioned in a cool, dry place, and LU Scholiertje in a dry place away from heat.
