If you want to put out or hand round small spritz biscuits, choose a pack that explicitly says they’re mini; for example, Jumbo lists Sprits Staafjes Mini in a 125 g pack. If an orange look matters more, you could consider Verkade Oranje Sprits, but check the size on the current packaging. Compare the nutritional information per 100 g and read the ingredients and allergen information on the label, as recommended by the Netherlands Nutrition Centre.
If you’re putting out a plate for guests to help themselves, it’s worth looking for a pack that explicitly says mini. Jumbo lists its Sprits Staafjes Mini in a 125 g pack; check the packaging to see how many biscuits you can put out for your guests.
If the King's Day look is your priority, Verkade Oranje Sprits is a themed option to consider. The product name alone doesn’t tell you whether the biscuits are mini-sized too.
If you have a food allergy or want to compare products by nutritional value, check the current ingredients and allergen information on the packaging. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends comparing nutritional values per 100 g.

A festive variant name doesn’t confirm that the individual biscuits are small. Jumbo explicitly describes its Sprits Staafjes Mini as mini; with Verkade Oranje Sprits, you’ll need to check the size separately.
Check the product name and packaging before you buy, especially if you want to hand the biscuits out individually.
The stated serving size can vary between products, so comparing per serving may give you a different picture from comparing the same quantity.
Compare energy, sugars, fat and salt per 100 g, as recommended by the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, then decide how many biscuits you want to put out.
You can’t tell which allergens are in a biscuit just by looking at it. Product information can also change, even for a variant you’ve bought before.
Check the current ingredients list and allergen information on the packaging every time you buy.
An existing product page doesn’t tell you which variant will be available around a future celebration.
Check the current product information and the packaging of the variant you want shortly before King's Day.

Read the ingredients list and allergen information on the current packaging of the spritz biscuits you’ve chosen. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre lists cereals containing gluten, milk, eggs, soya, nuts and sesame among the allergens that may be relevant. Don’t rely on a product photo or a previous purchase alone.
