Who is this for?

A small festival group looking to share

You want to bring enough biscuits without having to keep an opened pack for days. ALDI lists 12 biscuits in a 175 g pack of Biscotto Roomboterspritsen; PLUS lists its Spritsen at 175 g. Work out how many packs you need based on the number of people eating and how many times you’ll be sharing them.

A camper looking for milk chocolate spritz biscuits

If you’re specifically after spritz biscuits with milk chocolate, Verkade says its Nobo Sprits Melk has a milk chocolate coating. When packing them, follow the storage instructions on the pack. The Voedingscentrum recommends keeping biscuits in a cool, dry, dark place in a tightly sealed container.

A shopper checking ingredients and allergens

If you’re sharing with others, it’s important to check the label for the exact variety you’ve chosen. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, allergen information must appear on pre-packed foods. Check it before buying spritz biscuits for the group.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, work out how many people will be eating and when. Then choose a variety that suits their taste preferences and ingredient requirements, and think about how you’ll store an opened pack at the campsite.

What to consider What to check before buying Who is this important for?
Quantity and leftovers Check the net weight in grams and, if listed, the number of biscuits. Match the number of packs to the people eating and the number of sharing occasions. When sharing with a small group, I want to bring enough spritz biscuits without leaving one pack open for ages. For around 36% of consumers, having the right amount to share comes first.
Ingredients and allergens Read the current label for the variety you’ve chosen and discuss any relevant allergies with the people who’ll be eating. When I bring spritz biscuits for others, I want to know whether everyone can eat the variety I’ve chosen. Around 29% of consumers prioritise ingredients and allergens.
Storage after opening Check the storage instructions and make sure you can keep any leftovers dry and tightly sealed. When camping for several days, I don’t want an opened pack to get damp before it’s finished. For around 21% of consumers, storage is the main consideration.
Flavour Check whether you’re buying plain, butter or milk chocolate spritz biscuits, then compare the packaging and ingredients too. If the group specifically wants milk chocolate spritz biscuits, I won’t choose based on pack size alone. For around 14% of consumers, flavour is the biggest deciding factor.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a sharing pack will feed a large group

    The packs mentioned here contain 150 g or 175 g. Whether one pack is enough depends on how many people are eating and how often you want to hand out the spritz biscuits.

    Plan your sharing occasions in advance. For a larger group, you can bring several packs and only open them when you need them.

  • Leaving an opened pack in the tent

    It’s harder to protect an opened pack from moisture. The Voedingscentrum recommends keeping biscuits in a cool, dry, dark place in a tightly sealed container.

    Seal any leftover spritz biscuits straight away and store them somewhere dry and out of the sun.

  • Choosing a flavour without checking the allergen information

    Different varieties of spritz biscuits may contain different ingredients. If you’re buying for the whole group, check the pack you’re actually planning to buy.

    Ask which allergens are relevant to the group, then check the ingredients and allergen information on the packaging before you buy.
