If you want to take one sealed portion of spritz biscuits with you for coffee on the go, choose a pack that explicitly states it contains individually wrapped biscuits or sealed individual portions. A smaller standard pack may also suit you if you want to portion out the biscuits yourself, but a stated serving size doesn’t mean they’re individually wrapped. Check the ingredients and allergens on the pack for each variety, too.
You want to take a small portion of biscuits with you without putting an opened pack in your bag. So check whether the pack really contains one sealed portion, rather than judging by the size of the pack alone.
You take biscuits from a standard pack and decide for yourself how many to pack each time. Albert Heijn lists nine portions in a 150 g pack of Verkade Nobo Sprits Melk; ALDI lists twelve Biscotto butter spritz biscuits in a 175 g pack. These figures don’t tell you whether the biscuits are individually wrapped.
You want to know which ingredients and allergens apply to your chosen variety before taking it with you. Read the ingredients list and allergen information on the pack you buy, even if you’ve had the product before.
First decide whether you need a sealed portion to take with you. If you want to portion biscuits out of a standard pack yourself, the serving information and details on the label become more important.
