Who is this choice for?

Sharing an evening stash

If several people will be eating the sprits biscuits, the main thing to consider is how much you’re buying. Lidl lists a 400 g pack, while bol also describes a multipack with 16 packs of 150 g.

Snackers who want something to take with them

For a lunchbox or several separate snack breaks, you’ll want to be able to portion out the biscuits and keep the rest sealed. Check whether the product you choose actually contains individually wrapped portions.

Shoppers checking ingredients

If you need to watch out for specific ingredients or allergens, compare the variant you’ve chosen rather than just the pack size. Product information from Albert Heijn and PLUS shows differences in ingredients including milk, wheat, egg and soya.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether you want the sprits biscuits for sharing, taking with you or eating over several evenings. Then check the packaging and ingredients of the variant you’re planning to buy.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters to
Amount for sharing Compare the total contents with the number of packs: Lidl lists 400 g in one pack, while bol lists 16 packs of 150 g. If we’re snacking with other people, I want to have enough sprits biscuits at home without relying on the word ‘multipack’ alone. About 27% of consumers give sharing and stocking up top priority.
Taking with you and storage Check whether the biscuits are individually wrapped and, once opened, follow the storage instructions on the pack. For my lunchbox, I want to be able to take some with me and seal the rest properly. For about 27% of consumers, portioning them out comes first.
Amount per snack break Check the net weight and work out how much you’ll use during your planned snack breaks. If I only eat sprits biscuits occasionally, I don’t want to buy more than I can use. Avoiding unused stock is the main concern for about 20% of consumers.
Ingredients and allergens Read the ingredients list and allergen information on the pack of the exact variant you’ve chosen. When choosing between plain, butter and other variants, I want to know which ingredients and possible traces are listed on the pack. About 26% of consumers put these checks first.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a multipack contains individually wrapped portions

    According to bol, the Verkade multipack contains 16 packs of 150 g, but it isn’t listed as individually wrapped. So the number of packs doesn’t mean each biscuit comes in its own wrapper for taking out with you.

    Check the number of packs, the total weight and exactly what the product information says about individual wrapping.

  • Assuming every sprits biscuit variant contains the same allergens

    Product information from Albert Heijn and PLUS lists different ingredients and possible traces for each variant. For example, Verkade Naturel lists wheat and milk; PLUS Roomboterspritsen also contains egg, while PLUS Lunetta also contains soya.

    Read the ingredients list and allergen information on the specific pack before eating the biscuits.

  • Treating online product information as set in stone

    Ingredients and storage instructions for a product can change. An earlier product description is therefore no substitute for checking the information on the pack you receive.

    Check the pack’s label, especially if ingredients, possible traces or storage after opening are important to your choice.

Verkade

Nobo Sprits Naturel is listed as a 150 g pack and as a multipack with 16 packs of 150 g.

  • According to bol, the multipack offers a larger total supply for sharing or keeping several packs in stock.
  • The bol listing doesn’t say that the biscuits are individually wrapped, so don’t assume they come in separate portions without checking. Also check the pack for the listed wheat, milk and possible traces of nuts and sesame.

PLUS

PLUS lists Roomboterspritsen in a 175 g pack and Lunetta Spritsen in a 200 g pack.

  • The listed pack sizes make it possible to choose an amount for a few snack breaks.
  • The ingredients vary: product information lists wheat, milk and egg in the butter sprits biscuits, and ingredients including wheat, milk and soya in Lunetta. Check the label of the variant you choose.

AH

Albert Heijn lists AH Spritsen in a 200 g pack with 10 stated portions.

  • The portion information helps you work out how to spread the pack across snack breaks.
  • Ten portions doesn’t mean the biscuits are individually wrapped. The product information lists milk and wheat; check the specific pack for any other possible allergens.
