Choose a pack that clearly states the number of biscuits and the weight per portion if you’re filling lunchboxes. For sharing at home, the total contents matter more, but the number of biscuits doesn’t tell you whether they’re individually wrapped. If you’re choosing organic, check for the applicable EU organic logo and read the label: organic or vegan doesn’t mean allergen-free.
If you want to divide biscuits between lunchboxes, knowing the number and weight of each biscuit can help you plan. Listings from Jumbo and Albert Heijn state that Farm Brothers Choco Chip Bio Cookies come in a pack of 6, with each biscuit weighing 17 g.
When sharing, you’ll want to check both the pack contents and the organic labelling. According to Skal Biocontrole, the EU organic logo is compulsory for pre-packed foods produced in the EU and sold there as organic.
If you’re sharing with others, ingredients, allergens and nutritional information are all relevant. Voedingscentrum recommends comparing the nutritional value of different products on the same basis: per 100 g.
First, check that the pack meets your requirements for buying organic. Then look at the number of biscuits, the total contents and the label to see whether it suits the way you plan to use them.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Organic labelling | Where the logo applies, check the pack for the EU organic logo, the inspection code and the indication of origin. | If I want to buy organic, I want a recognised label on the pack, not just green packaging. This is the top priority for around 29% of consumers. |
| Lunchbox portions | Check the number of biscuits, the weight per portion and whether there are individual inner packs. | For several lunchboxes, I want to know how many portions I can divide up without assuming that each biscuit is individually wrapped. This is the main question for around 29% of consumers. |
| Contents for sharing | Compare the net weight and number of biscuits. If you’re considering buying several packs, also check the storage instructions. | When I share biscuits at home, what matters most is whether there’s enough for everyone and whether I can keep some for later. Around 21% of consumers prioritise this. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the current ingredients list, check which allergens are highlighted and look out for any ‘may contain’ warnings. Compare nutritional values per 100 g. | When I’m buying biscuits for others, I want to check the ingredients and allergens listed on the pack before sharing them. For around 21% of consumers, checking the label is their main concern. |
According to listings from Jumbo and Albert Heijn, Farm Brothers’ organic vegan biscuits contain wheat and gluten and may contain traces of other allergens. The Zymi varieties reviewed also list allergens.
Read the current ingredients list and any warnings before sharing biscuits.
A pack of six or twenty biscuits doesn’t mean that each one is individually wrapped. ALDI, for example, describes its Biscotto biscuits as being packed in pairs.
If individual portions for eating on the go matter to you, check the pack description or product photo.
A value per portion means something different if the portions weigh different amounts. Voedingscentrum recommends comparing products like for like, per 100 g.
First compare the nutritional value per 100 g, then check the weight of the portion you want to share.
ALDI’s product listing for Biscotto states the number of biscuits and that they’re packed in pairs, but this doesn’t confirm that they’re organic.
Assess the pack size and organic labelling separately, and check the label to confirm.
The Choco Chip Bio Cookies reviewed come in a counted pack, making it easier to plan portions for lunchboxes.
The organic dark chocolate biscuit varieties reviewed come in 130 g and 150 g packs. This gives you a different basis for sharing at home than a counted pack of six biscuits.
A useful comparison for the number of biscuits and pack format, but not an organic option without checking the label.
You can weigh this 150 g pack of chocolate biscuits against the number of portions you need for lunchboxes or sharing. Check whether it has individual inner packs and, if you want to buy organic, check the labelling on the current pack.

This 150 g pack of chocolate biscuits could work for lunchboxes or sharing. Check how many portions and inner packs it contains. Also read the current ingredients and allergen information, and check for the EU organic logo if you specifically want to buy organic.
Check for the EU organic logo and the related information on the label. According to Skal Biocontrole, the logo is compulsory for pre-packed foods produced in the EU and sold there as organic.
No. These labels don’t tell you which allergens may be present. Jumbo and Albert Heijn’s listings for Farm Brothers mention wheat and gluten, among other things, and warn that the biscuits may contain traces of other allergens. Always check the current pack before sharing.
Compare the net weight, number of biscuits and weight per portion with the number of lunchboxes or people you’re buying for. Compare nutritional values on the same basis, per 100 g, as Voedingscentrum recommends, and check separately whether the pack contains individual inner packs.
