Who is this for?

Parents who want to keep treats to a set amount

You want to hand out a set number of biscuits at a chosen time during the autumn half-term, rather than leaving an open packet out.

Shoppers looking for smaller biscuits

You want to hand out biscuits individually or portion them into a snack bowl. Jumbo lists Sprits Staafjes Mini 125 g, but says it is no longer in its online range.

Shoppers who need to check allergens first

Before buying, you check the ingredients and allergen information for the exact variety. Product information from Jumbo, Albert Heijn and PLUS lists ingredients including wheat and milk in their spritz biscuits; other declarations vary by product.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, check whether the size you want is available. Then decide how many you want to hand out and read the label on your chosen spritz biscuits, especially if anyone needs to avoid certain allergens.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters most to
Portion size Compare the serving size on the label with what you plan to serve, and decide how many biscuits to offer in advance. Albert Heijn lists a serving of 20 g for AH Spritsen. I want to put out biscuits for an autumn half-term snack without leaving the whole packet on the table; portion control is the top priority for around 40% of consumers.
Ingredients and allergens Read the ingredients and ‘may contain’ statement on the packaging of the exact variety. Jumbo lists wheat, milk and possibly almonds in its mini sticks. If someone with an allergy will be eating them, I want to know before buying whether this particular spritz is suitable; this check comes first for around 30% of consumers.
Finding the size you want Check the current product page or store availability. Jumbo no longer lists Sprits Staafjes Mini 125 g in its online range. Before handing them out, I want to know whether I can actually buy mini spritz biscuits or need to portion a regular packet; around 30% of consumers prioritise finding the size they want.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming ‘mini’ means a set portion

    You can eat several small biscuits, too. The name doesn’t tell you how many grams will end up on your plate.

    Before handing them out, decide on an amount by number of biscuits or weight, and set it aside. Compare the nutritional information with the amount you actually serve.

  • Assuming an existing product page means it’s in stock

    Jumbo no longer lists its Sprits Staafjes Mini 125 g in its online range. The page therefore doesn’t confirm that you can order these mini spritz biscuits.

    Check availability shortly before buying. If you can’t find the mini size you want, you can portion regular spritz biscuits yourself.

  • Only checking the front of the packet when dealing with allergies

    Allergen information varies between spritz biscuit varieties. For example, PLUS lists wheat, milk and soya in Lunetta spritz biscuits, as well as the possible presence of other allergens.

    Check the full ingredients list and allergen information on the packet you’re buying every time. Don’t choose the product if any declaration is incompatible with the allergy of the person eating it.

Frequently asked questions

Is a mini spritz biscuit automatically a smaller portion?

No. The biscuit is smaller, but the portion depends on how many you serve. Decide on the amount in advance and check the nutritional information for the corresponding serving size.

Which allergens should I check in spritz biscuits?

Check the full declaration on the packaging of the exact variety. Jumbo lists wheat and milk in its mini sticks, with the possible presence of almonds; PLUS also lists soya in Lunetta spritz biscuits, with the possible presence of egg, nuts and other allergens. Don’t rely on the information for another brand or size.

Can I use an online product page to plan my purchase?

Yes, as a starting point, but check current availability and the packet when you buy. Jumbo no longer lists its mini sticks in its online range, and the ingredients and allergen information must match the product you actually take home.

Where can I find allergen information for prepacked spritz biscuits?

According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, allergens must be clearly listed on the label of prepacked foods. So read the label on the packaging itself, even if you’ve already checked the product information online.
