If you want to hand out one sealed spritz biscuit per person at a festival, choose a pack that explicitly says the biscuits are individually wrapped. According to Bidfood and bol, De Molen's Banket box contains 40 individually wrapped spritz biscuits weighing 38 g each. A regular pack or tray will only suit your plans if you’re happy to hand them out from an opened pack. Check the allergens, best-before date and storage instructions on the pack you choose, too.
If you want to give visitors, staff or volunteers one sealed biscuit each, you’ll need a different pack from a larger pack that has already been opened. Bidfood and bol list a De Molen's Banket box containing individually wrapped spritz biscuits.
A box of 40 biscuits weighing 38 g each makes it easy to work out how many portions you’ll have to hand out. Compare that number with the quantity you expect to need, especially for a smaller event.
If you’re catering for a mixed group, it’s still important to check the label on the spritz biscuits you choose. An individual wrapper won’t tell you which allergens the biscuit contains.
First, decide whether each biscuit needs to stay sealed until it’s handed out. Then match the number of portions to your plans and check the nutritional information on the pack you’re buying.

Check whether the product description or the packaging explicitly says ‘individually wrapped’, and gives the number of biscuits included.
