If you want to buy a classic biscuit after security at Schiphol, the airport lists Lotus Bakery Biscoff Classic in a pack of 3 × 140 g at Today Duty Free; check in store to see whether it’s still available. If fibre, gluten or other allergens are important to you, only choose after checking the label on the exact pack. Buying in advance gives you more time to compare varieties and pack sizes, but an online supermarket range tells you nothing about stock at Schiphol.
If you’re already through security, where it’s sold matters more than having a wide choice. Schiphol lists Biscoff Classic at Today Duty Free; check in store to see if the pack is available.
If you want a biscuit for the journey and would also like to compare its nutritional value, check the fibre listed per 100 g and per serving on the pack you choose. A name such as ‘6 grains’ doesn’t tell you how much fibre is in your serving.
The product category or brand name alone isn’t enough to tell whether a product is suitable. Before buying, read the ingredients, allergens and any ‘may contain’ information on the exact variety.
First decide whether you’ll buy after security or have time to compare labels and pack sizes before you leave. Schiphol lists Biscoff Classic at Today Duty Free and Albert Heijn at Plaza; a store listing doesn’t confirm that a particular biscuit is in stock.

| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important to? |
|---|---|---|
| Where it’s sold | Check whether the shop is before or after security and whether the pack you want is available. | If I’m buying at Schiphol, I want to know where I can actually find it. Around 36% of consumers prioritise being able to buy it straight away. |
| Fibre and nutritional information | Compare the fibre per 100 g and per serving on the label of the same variety. | For a biscuit to eat on the go, I want to weigh up its nutritional value without relying on the product name. Fibre is the main consideration for roughly 29% of consumers. |
| Gluten and allergens | Read the ingredients, allergens and any ‘may contain’ information on the current pack. | If I need to avoid gluten or another allergen, the variety I choose needs to be suitable. This check takes priority for around 21% of consumers. |
| Size and sharing | Check the net weight and whether the biscuits come in individual packs. | If there’s not much room in my bag or I plan to share, the pack size makes a difference. This is the most important factor for around 14% of consumers. |
According to Schiphol, Albert Heijn has a shop at Plaza, but its online speculaas category doesn’t confirm which varieties are available there.
If you need a specific pack, buy it before you leave or check stock in store.
Schiphol includes spreadable food in the hand luggage liquids rules. A jar of spread is therefore subject to different checks from solid biscuits.
Check the current hand luggage rules before you travel if you want to bring speculoos spread with you.
The name of a multigrain variety doesn’t replace the nutrition table. Gluten-free speculaas may also contain other allergens: Jumbo lists egg in its gluten-free variety.
To compare fibre, check the nutritional information on the exact pack. For allergens, read the full ingredients list and any warnings too.
