If you want to decide how much speculaas to take or share when visiting Vlaggetjesdag, choose biscuits you can count and portion out in advance. Individually wrapped biscuits can make sharing easier, but they also create more wrappers; a large pack means you’ll need to prepare portions at home. Compare the nutritional value of similar products per 100 g, and always check the current packaging if you have a food allergy.
Set aside the number of biscuits you’ve chosen at home to take with you. That way, you decide how many you bring, rather than relying on the serving size on the label. For nutritional comparisons, the Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends checking the values per 100 g.
Count how many biscuits you want to take with you in advance. You can portion out small biscuits yourself; individually wrapped biscuits are easier to hand out one per person, but they do mean extra wrappers.
If you or someone you’re buying for has a food allergy, the product name alone isn’t an allergen check. Read the ingredients and listed allergens on the exact pack you’re buying.
First, decide how many biscuits you want to take for yourself or your group. Then choose packaging that suits how you plan to share them, and check the ingredients before eating if necessary.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Your own portion | Compare the nutritional value per 100 g and decide how many biscuits you’ll actually take. | If I only want to take a set number of biscuits with me, I’ll put them aside at home. For around 42% of consumers, having their own portion decided in advance is the priority. |
| Sharing | Check the net weight, the stated number of biscuits and how they’re packaged. | For a group, I want to be able to portion them out in advance without being left with a large, opened pack. For around 33% of consumers, sharing them easily is the main concern. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients list and listed allergens on the current packaging. | If I’m buying for someone with a food allergy, I need to be able to check what’s in those exact biscuits. For around 25% of consumers, checking the label is the most important consideration. |
A small biscuit doesn’t determine how many biscuits you’ll end up eating. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre also explains that manufacturers choose the serving size shown on the label, if one is given.
