If you want to give every guest a sealed biscuit, only choose spritz biscuits if the current product information and packaging confirm that each biscuit is individually wrapped. You can’t assume this is the case with the Verkade, Albert Heijn and Jumbo spritz biscuits mentioned here without checking. If spritz biscuits matter more to you than handing them out individually, you can put them on the table and reseal the rest according to the storage instructions. Alternatively, you could choose a different type of biscuit that is confirmed to be individually wrapped.
You want to hand out biscuits without everyone reaching into the same opened packet. Before buying, check that the spritz biscuits are actually individually wrapped; a stated number of biscuits doesn’t tell you this.
You’d rather choose between a classic spritz biscuit and a chocolate version than between different types of packaging. Koninklijke Verkade describes Nobo Sprits Original and Nobo Sprits Melk as different varieties. If the packet has been opened, check the storage instructions too.
If guests need to avoid certain ingredients, you’ll need the label from the exact biscuits you’re serving. Check the ingredients and allergen warnings on the current packaging before handing them out.
When buying biscuits for a board game night, decide what matters most: one sealed biscuit per guest, checking allergens or a particular spritz flavour. This will determine what to check on the packaging first.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Individually wrapped biscuits | Look for an explicit statement that each biscuit is individually wrapped, and check how many wrapped portions are included. | If I want to give each player a sealed biscuit, the packaging needs to make that possible. For around 42% of consumers, handing them out individually would be the main priority. |
| Allergens | Read the ingredients and allergen warnings on the current label for the variety you’ve chosen. | If guests need to avoid certain ingredients, I want to know what’s in these biscuits before serving them. For around 33% of consumers, this would be the main priority. |
| Flavour and size | Compare the spritz biscuit variety, any chocolate coating, and the weight or number of biscuits. Check the storage instructions too. | If I mainly want to serve spritz biscuits, I’ll choose the flavour first, then a size that suits the group. This would be the main priority for around 25% of consumers. |
Nutritional information per biscuit or per serving tells you how much was used for the calculation, not how the biscuits are packaged. It doesn’t tell you whether you can give each player a sealed biscuit.
Check the current product information and packaging for an explicit statement that the biscuits are individually wrapped.
According to Koninklijke Verkade, the ingredients in Nobo Sprits Original include wheat and milk derivatives; Nobo Sprits Melk also lists soya lecithin. The ingredients for one variety are no substitute for checking the label of another.
Check the packaging for the variety you’ve chosen and discuss any relevant allergens with your guests before serving the biscuits.
Ingredients and allergen information can change. An image or an old product description may not match the packaging you have on the table.
When your biscuits arrive, check the best-before date, ingredients and warnings on the packaging you’ll actually be serving.
