If you want to pack biscuits in lunchboxes or hand them out individually, choose a pack that clearly states how many inner bags and portions it contains. According to Jumbo, Lotus Biscoff XL 2P x 10 contains ten bags, each with two speculoos biscuits. For regular coffee breaks with a group, you could also portion out a larger pack yourself. Check the biscuit count, storage instructions after opening and the current allergen information on the label.
If you don’t want to portion them out yourself, a pack with a set number of biscuits in each bag makes things simple. Jumbo lists Lotus Biscoff XL 2P x 10 as ten bags, each containing two biscuits.
For regular coffee breaks with a team or visitors, the main thing is how many biscuits you can hand out. Jumbo lists Lotus The Original Speculoos in a pack of 300; make sure you also have a plan for storing and serving the biscuits once the pack is open.
If you don’t need individual inner bags, you can compare the weight and stated portions. Albert Heijn lists AH Bakkers speculaas as 600 g and 48 portions of 13 g; ALDI lists Biscotto Bakkersspeculaas as 600 g and 48 biscuits.
Best for: packing two biscuits in a lunchbox or handing them out at a coffee break without portioning them yourself.
The trade-off: a bag containing two biscuits is less flexible if you want to give each person exactly one.
Best for: a regular coffee station that needs biscuits for a group; Jumbo lists a Lotus pack containing 300 biscuits.
The trade-off: the biscuit count doesn’t tell you how they’re divided inside the pack. Check this before planning portions.
Best for: serving or portioning out biscuits yourself, for example at a shared coffee break.
The trade-off: you’ll need to prepare portions yourself for pre-packed lunchboxes. Follow the storage instructions for your chosen pack once it’s open.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Portions to take with you | Check how many inner bags there are and how many biscuits each bag contains. | For a lunchbox, I want to pack biscuits without portioning them myself. Around 42% of consumers prioritise pre-portioned packs. |
| Enough for a group | Compare the number of biscuits or stated portions, and check the storage instructions for after opening. | For a regular coffee break, I want to know whether there are enough biscuits for everyone. For around 33% of consumers, having enough in stock matters most. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the current ingredient and allergen information, including warnings about possible traces of allergens. | When sharing biscuits, I want to check that the ingredients are suitable for everyone first. For around 25% of consumers, this is the top priority. |
The stated weight or biscuit count doesn’t tell you whether you can take individual portions with you. Portioning biscuits yourself for lunchboxes can take extra time and require more packaging.
Check whether the product information or packaging clearly states the number of inner bags and the number of biscuits in each one.
Jumbo lists Lotus Biscoff XL as vegan, but its ingredients include wheat and soya. Albert Heijn lists AH Bakkers speculaas as vegan and lactose-free, but the product contains wheat and gluten and may contain almonds.
Check the current ingredient and allergen information for the person who’ll be eating the biscuit. Don’t assume a product is suitable for someone with an allergy just because it’s labelled vegan.
Lotus Biscoff XL is listed in packs of different weights. The familiar name alone won’t tell you how the biscuits are portioned.
Just before buying, check the exact variant, weight and stated inner packaging.

Yes, if two biscuits are the portion you want to pack. Jumbo lists Lotus Biscoff XL 2P x 10 as ten bags, each containing two biscuits. If you want to give each person one biscuit, check for a pack with a different portion size.
Follow the instructions on the pack you buy. For AH Bakkers speculaas, Albert Heijn advises storing it in a cool, dark, dry place and keeping it in a sealed tin after opening. Don’t assume the same advice applies to other variants.
No. A vegan label isn’t a list of allergens. According to Jumbo, Lotus Biscoff XL contains wheat and soya; according to Albert Heijn, AH Bakkers speculaas contains wheat and gluten and may contain almonds. Check the current information for the exact pack.
Check the online product information before buying, and also check the current label on the pack you receive. For the Netherlands, Ondernemersplein states that legally required food labelling information must also be available online. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains why allergen information on labels is important.
