Choose individually wrapped spritz biscuits if you want to give each guest a sealed biscuit or hand them out at different times. According to Albert Heijn and Bidfood, a box of De Molen's Banket Sprits contains 40 biscuits weighing 38 g each, individually wrapped. For a small get-together where you’ll serve biscuits straight from a packet on a platter, a standard packet may be a better fit for the quantity you need. A sealed outer pack doesn’t mean each biscuit has its own wrapper, and the label on the product you choose is the source to check for allergen and storage information.
If you want to give each guest a sealed biscuit or put some out at different times, look for clear wording that each biscuit is individually wrapped. Albert Heijn and Bidfood describe De Molen's Banket Sprits as a box of 40 such biscuits, each weighing 38 g.
If any of your guests have food allergies, check the ingredients and warnings on the label of the product you actually choose. Ingredients vary between spritz biscuit varieties, and an individual wrapper doesn’t change the allergens in the biscuit.
If you’re serving the biscuits straight from a platter, compare the quantity you need with the packet size. Albert Heijn lists AH Spritsen in a 200 g packet, with 10 portions of 20 g; PLUS lists a 175 g packet of Spritsen. These packet details don’t confirm that each biscuit is individually wrapped.
Choose these if: you want to give each guest a sealed biscuit or don’t want to open all the biscuits at once.
Bear in mind: the De Molen's Banket variety described by Albert Heijn and Bidfood comes in a box of 40; individual wrapping doesn’t guarantee a longer shelf life than the date and storage instructions on the label.
Choose this if: you’re serving a smaller group straight away and don’t need a sealed biscuit for each guest.
Bear in mind: the packet weight or a sealed outer pack doesn’t confirm that the biscuits have individual wrappers. After opening, follow the storage advice on the packet you choose.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Sealed portions | Look for clear wording that each biscuit is individually wrapped, and check how many are in the pack. | If guests are arriving at different times, I want to be able to give each person a sealed biscuit without opening them all at once. This way of handing them out is a top priority for around 42% of consumers. |
| Allergens | Check the ingredients and information about allergens present or that may be present on the label of the product you buy. | When guests have food allergies, I want to know which spritz biscuits I can serve and what warnings apply. This check comes first for around 33% of consumers. |
| Getting the quantity right | Compare the number of guests with the number of biscuits or the net weight, and think about what you’ll do with any leftovers. | For a small group, I don’t want to buy or open more biscuits than I need to serve. Getting the quantity right is the main concern for around 25% of consumers. |
The packet weight or the words ‘per wrapper’ on the product listing don’t tell you whether each spritz biscuit has its own sealed wrapper. PLUS describes its Spritsen as a 175 g packet; Albert Heijn and Bidfood explicitly state that each biscuit in the box of De Molen's Banket Sprits is individually wrapped.
Before buying, check the information about individual wrapping and how many biscuits are in the box.
Allergens vary between varieties. De Molen's Banket Sprits contains wheat and milk, and may contain soya and egg; PLUS Spritsen contains wheat, egg and milk, and also carries a warning about the possible presence of other allergens.
Check the current label of every product you serve. Ask guests with a relevant allergy to check the packaging themselves, and keep it next to the platter.
