Which size is right for whom?

Office buyers looking to offer small biscuits

Mini biscuits can be handy for a meeting table or sharing platter if colleagues prefer to take a small biscuit. Jumbo lists its Sprits Staafjes Mini in a 125 g pack; check how many biscuits you’ll need for the number of people attending.

Teams with regular coffee and tea breaks

If you’re planning on one regular spritz biscuit per person, a stated count can help with your calculations. Albert Heijn describes AH Spritsen as biscuits to enjoy with coffee or tea and lists 10 biscuits per pack.

Office buyers who need allergen information

If colleagues are deciding for themselves what they can eat, the ingredients and allergen information on the pack you’ve bought should be available. Albert Heijn lists milk, lactose and wheat among the allergens in AH Spritsen; check the information again with every purchase.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, decide whether you want to share small biscuits or serve one regular spritz biscuit per person. Then compare the pack contents and read the label on the variety you’re buying.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Small, easy-to-share biscuits Check that they are mini spritz biscuits and how much the pack contains. Jumbo lists Sprits Staafjes Mini as 125 g. When I’m filling a platter for a meeting, I want to be able to offer small biscuits loose. This size is the top priority for around 45% of consumers.
Biscuits and pack size Compare the number of biscuits and the net weight with the number of people eating. Albert Heijn lists AH Spritsen as 10 biscuits and 200 g. For a regular coffee break, I want to know whether one biscuit per colleague and the pack size are right for the team. This planning is the most important factor for around 33% of consumers.
Allergens and labelling Read the ingredients, allergen information and any warnings on the pack you’ve bought; keep that information available when people are serving themselves. When colleagues take a biscuit themselves, I want them to be able to check the ingredients and allergens. Around 22% of consumers give checking the label the highest priority.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming ‘mini’ means ‘individually wrapped’

    Mini describes the size of the biscuit, not how it’s packaged. A small biscuit doesn’t solve the need for individually wrapped portions when people are serving themselves.

    If you need individually wrapped biscuits, check this separately in the product description or on the packaging.

  • Assuming every spritz biscuit is suitable for every colleague

    Albert Heijn lists milk, lactose and wheat in AH Spritsen; Verkade lists wheat and milk ingredients in Nobo Sprits Original. The ingredients in one variety don’t tell you anything about all other spritz biscuits.

    Check the label on the exact variety you’ve bought and leave the packaging available for colleagues to check when choosing for themselves.

  • Looking only at the number of packs

    According to Jumbo, a pack of Jumbo Sprits Staafjes Mini contains 125 g, while ALDI also lists Biscotto Roomboterspritsen as 12 biscuits and 175 g. So the number of packs won’t tell you how many biscuits or how much net weight you’ll be putting out.

    Compare the net weight, the number of biscuits where stated, and the expected number of people eating before deciding how much to stock for the office.

Brands to compare

Jumbo

Jumbo lists 125 g Sprits Staafjes Mini, a specific mini spritz biscuit option for a sharing platter.

  • The product description says these are butter spritz biscuits and recommends storing them in a cool, dry, dark place.
  • Check the pack for the number of biscuits, ingredients and allergens before buying for a group.

Verkade

Verkade sells Nobo Sprits Original and Nobo Sprits Melk as regular spritz biscuit varieties.

  • For Original, Verkade lists ingredients including wheat and milk ingredients; according to the brand, the Melk variety has a milk chocolate coating.
  • These varieties aren’t mini spritz biscuits. Check the label on your chosen variety separately.

AH

Albert Heijn lists AH Spritsen as regular butter spritz biscuits in a pack of 10, weighing 200 g.

  • The stated number of biscuits and 20 g serving size can help you plan a coffee break.
  • These aren’t mini spritz biscuits. Albert Heijn notes that product information can change, so read the pack you’ve bought.

Biscotto

Biscotto is ALDI’s own-label biscuit brand, with regular butter spritz biscuits in different pack sizes.

  • ALDI lists, among other options, a pack of 12 biscuits weighing 175 g, and also shows butter spritz biscuits in 300–400 g packs.
  • Don’t compare these regular spritz biscuits as mini spritz biscuits; check the contents of the specific pack when you buy.

Frequently asked questions

Do mini spritz biscuits automatically mean smaller portions at the office?

No. Mini biscuits let people take a smaller biscuit, but they don’t determine how many biscuits someone will take. Estimate how many people will be there and fill a sharing platter to suit the coffee break.

Should I check the allergens in spritz biscuits before putting them out?

Yes, read the packaging for the variety you’re actually serving. Albert Heijn lists milk, lactose and wheat in AH Spritsen; Verkade lists wheat and milk ingredients in Nobo Sprits Original. Keep the packaging available so colleagues can check the information for themselves.

How should I store mini spritz biscuits for the office?

Follow the storage advice on the pack you’ve bought. For Sprits Staafjes Mini, Jumbo recommends a cool, dry, dark place; check the label for any other variety.

Can I assume the ingredients will be the same next time I order?

No, check the packaging with every new delivery. Albert Heijn notes that products’ ingredients, nutritional values and allergen information can change.
