Which pack is best for you?

Families who want to share the biscuits

If you’re buying for several people or walking days, a 2-pack can be practical. Albert Heijn lists a Verkade Nobo Sprits milk chocolate 2-pack; check the total contents to see whether it suits your plans.

Walkers taking a short route

A single pack may be enough for a small group or one walk. ALDI and PLUS list 175 g packs of spritz biscuits, while Jumbo lists a 200 g dark chocolate variety.

Walkers who check the label carefully

If ingredients, allergens or nutritional value affect your choice, check the packaging of the exact variety you’re taking with you. Voedingscentrum highlights the importance of up-to-date label information if you have a food allergy.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether you want to split the biscuits between several occasions or take one pack with you. Then check that the quantity and label for your chosen variety suit your plans.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Sharing between several occasions Check the number of packs and the total net contents of the 2-pack. If I’m buying for the family and another walking day, I don’t want to open everything at once. Around 45% of consumers put being able to split the packs between occasions first.
Avoiding taking too much Compare the contents of a single pack with what you need for your walk; ALDI and PLUS list 175 g varieties, while Jumbo lists a 200 g variety. For a short walk with a small group, I’d rather not end up with lots of biscuits left over. A pack in a suitable size is the top priority for around 33% of consumers.
Label and ingredients Read the ingredients, allergens and nutritional information for your chosen variety, including the stated portion size. If I need to take a food allergy into account or pay attention to the ingredients, the label determines whether this variety is suitable. For around 22% of consumers, checking this is their first priority when buying.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a 2-pack is automatically a large family pack

    The name tells you how many packs you’re buying, not how many grams of spritz biscuits they contain. So you still won’t know whether there’s enough for your group.

    Check the total net contents of the specific 2-pack and think about how many walks you want it to cover.

  • Packing spritz biscuits as your only snack

    For a long walk, it may be worth taking a variety of snacks rather than just biscuits. Voedingscentrum highlights sugar, salt and saturated fat as things to consider in popular snacks; nutritional values vary by product.

    Check the nutritional information per portion for your chosen spritz biscuits and decide what other snacks you want to take.

  • Choosing based on the brand or flavour name alone

    A different variety may have a different ingredients list, allergen information or nutritional value. This is particularly important if anyone in your group has a food allergy.

    Read the current label on the exact pack you’re buying, including any warnings about cross-contamination.

  • Putting the biscuits in your rucksack unprotected

    Spritz biscuits can break if the pack is squashed. Storage advice also varies by product: Jumbo says to store its chocolate variety in a cool, dark place, while PLUS advises storing its spritz biscuits in a cool, dry place.

    Protect the pack from pressure and follow the storage advice on the packaging you’re taking with you.

Frequently asked questions

Is a 2-pack always handy for a family walk?

No, a 2-pack is particularly handy if you want to share the packs between several people or occasions. For a short walk with a small group, a single 175 g or 200 g pack may be a better fit; first check the total contents of the 2-pack.

Can I take only spritz biscuits on a long walk?

If you want to take a variety of snacks, you don’t have to rely on spritz biscuits alone. Voedingscentrum highlights sugar, salt and saturated fat as things to consider in many snacks; compare the nutritional information per portion for your spritz biscuits when deciding what to pack.

Do I need to check allergens again if I know the brand?

Yes. If a food allergy is a concern, it’s important to check the current label for the variety you’ve chosen. Voedingscentrum highlights the importance of allergen information; also read any cross-contamination warning on the packaging.

How can I take spritz biscuits with me without them breaking?

Protect the pack from pressure in your rucksack and seal it securely once opened. Also follow the storage advice on your own pack: Jumbo says to store its dark chocolate spritz biscuits in a cool, dark place, while PLUS advises storing its plain spritz biscuits in a cool, dry place.
