If you want colleagues to take a clearly defined portion, choose a pack with two biscuits per unit. Loose mini speculoos biscuits are a better choice if you want to decide how many to serve with coffee. For either option, check the latest ingredients and allergen information, and if you choose a gluten-free product, check the label for other allergens too.
A pre-packed twin portion lets each colleague take their own pack. This is different from serving loose mini speculoos biscuits from a shared bowl. Lotus Bakeries Nederland lists packs containing two biscuits per unit.
If you want to decide how many biscuits to put out, you can serve loose minis in a bowl. Albert Heijn lists a serving size of 9 g for AH Mini speculaasjes; this does not mean that each serving is individually wrapped.
Speculoos labelled gluten-free can offer a separate option. Check the other ingredients and allergens on the packaging you choose too: a gluten-free label does not mean the product is suitable for everyone with an allergy.
First decide whether colleagues need their own individually packed portions or whether you can hand out loose biscuits yourself. Then compare serving sizes and check the label for dietary requirements across your team.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Portions and serving format | Check whether the biscuits are loose or individually packed. Lotus Bakeries Nederland lists packs of 10 × 2 and 20 × 2; Albert Heijn gives a 9 g serving size for its loose minis. | I want to be able to give colleagues a clearly defined portion without sharing an open bag. For around 36% of consumers, this serving format comes first. |
| Allergens and gluten-free options | Read the latest ingredients and allergen warnings. Check the gluten-free claim on the specific product you choose. | If colleagues have dietary restrictions, I want to be able to check what each product contains. For around 27% of consumers, this check is the deciding factor. |
| A biscuit to enjoy with coffee | Compare the type of product and how it is served: a loose mini and a twin pack cannot be served in the same way. | For a coffee break, I’m mainly looking for a small biscuit that suits what we want to serve. Around 27% of consumers prioritise this choice. |
| Quantity and availability to order | Compare the pack weight with the number of usable portions, and check that the item is available just before placing your order. | I want to be able to plan enough portions and avoid counting on an item I can’t order. This is the main concern for around 10% of consumers. |
A stated serving size, such as the 9 g listed for AH Mini speculaasjes, says nothing about individual wrapping. Loose biscuits need to be served in your own way.
Choose a pack with individually wrapped portions if each colleague needs to be able to take a sealed serving. For loose minis, use a clean bowl or portion them out yourself in advance.
