A mini biscuit isn’t automatically a measured portion: compare the weight per portion, the number of portions and how much you want to serve. Individually wrapped biscuits can be handy to take with you or share; with a multipack, you can decide how many to take out. Whichever you choose, check the ingredients and allergens for the variant you’re buying.
Would you like to serve a set amount with coffee, tea or as a snack? Check the weight per portion and the number of portions in the pack. For example, Albert Heijn lists 8 g per portion and 25 portions per pack for one mini stroopwafel variant.
For a lunchbox or sharing occasion, individual wrappers can make it easier to hand them out. Check whether the biscuits are individually wrapped and how many the pack contains.
Before ordering, read the ingredients and allergen information for the specific variant. Check the packaging again when it arrives: Albert Heijn notes that product information, including details about ingredients and allergens, can change.
Start by thinking about when you’ll eat them: do you want to portion out biscuits at home, or take them along for each person? Then compare the portion details and the label information for the variant you want to order.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Portion size | Weight per portion and number of portions per pack. | If I want to put a set amount out with my tea, the word ‘mini’ on its own doesn’t tell me enough. For around 36% of consumers, a measured portion is the top priority. |
| Ingredients and allergens | The ingredients list and allergen information for the chosen variant; check the label again when it arrives. | If I need to avoid an ingredient or allergen, I want to know which variant I’ll receive before ordering. Around 29% of consumers put this check first. |
| Packaging | Individual wrappers or a multipack, plus the number of biscuits. | For a lunchbox or sharing, I want to know whether it’s easy to divide the biscuits between people. This is the main consideration for around 21% of consumers. |
| Pack size and range | Net weight, number of biscuits and whether the product can be ordered for your delivery address. | When comparing several packs, I want to choose one that suits the number of occasions I have planned and that I can actually order. This is the main consideration for around 14% of consumers. |
