If you want to hand out small biscuits to each guest, choose mini spritz biscuits only if you can confirm they’re available; Jumbo’s product page says Sprits Staafjes Mini 125 g is no longer part of its online range. With regular spritz biscuits, you can portion them out in advance. For either option, check the allergen and nutritional information on the exact packaging; a smaller biscuit doesn’t automatically have different nutritional values per 100 g.
If you’re setting out spritz biscuits for several guests, you can hand out small biscuits individually or divide a regular pack between bowls in advance. Check that your chosen mini product is available when you’re ready to buy it.
If a guest has a food allergy, the packaging of the exact variety is what matters. The spritz biscuits listed here differ in whether they mention wheat, milk, egg, soya and possible traces.
First decide whether you want to hand out small biscuits or portion them yourself. Then check the ingredients and nutritional information for the variety you plan to serve.
