If you’re expecting a large group who are likely to reach for spritz biscuits, a large pack may be practical: Jumbo lists 40 biscuits of 38 g each for De Molen's Banket Spritsen. For a smaller group, or if guests have different flavour preferences, several smaller packs give you more choice and let you top up gradually. Compare the weight and number of biscuits, and check the current packaging for each variety if any of your guests have allergies.
If you have a rough idea of how many guests will want biscuits, compare the total weight and the stated number of biscuits. Jumbo lists 40 × 38 g for De Molen's Banket Spritsen, while Albert Heijn lists a 150 g pack of Verkade Nobo Sprits naturel. The number of biscuits each guest will have depends on your group.
If not everyone wants the same spritz biscuits, you can choose several smaller packs and only open another when you need it. For example, Albert Heijn lists AH Spritsen at 200 g, while PLUS lists Lunetta spritz biscuits at 200 g. Follow the storage instructions on the packaging once a pack has been opened.
Check the ingredients, allergens and any warnings about possible traces of other allergens for each variety separately. The ingredients in plain, butter and chocolate varieties may differ, so check the packaging of the product you’ll actually be serving.
First, work out roughly how many spritz biscuits you’ll need and whether you want to offer one flavour or a mix. Then check the labels on the packs you’re considering, especially if any guests need to avoid allergens.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity | Compare the total weight and the stated number of biscuits or servings; don’t rely on the term ‘family pack’ alone. | For a large group, I want to put out enough biscuits without constantly opening new packs. Around 31% of consumers prioritise having enough above all else. |
| Allergens | Check the ingredients, highlighted allergens and any warnings about possible traces on the current packaging of every pack. | If guests need to avoid certain ingredients, I want to know exactly what’s in the variety being served. Around 31% of consumers put this check first. |
| Flavour choice | Decide whether one variety is enough or whether you’d like to offer, for example, plain and chocolate options; check both labels separately. | When guests have different preferences, I don’t want to rely on one large pack with just one flavour. Around 23% of consumers consider flavour variety the most important factor. |
| Leftovers | Choose the number of packs to suit how much you expect guests to eat, and check how to store opened packs. | If I’m not sure how many people will come, I’d rather top up as needed than open all the biscuits at once. Around 15% of consumers put reducing leftovers first. |
The packs listed by Albert Heijn, PLUS and Jumbo vary considerably in weight and sometimes in the number of biscuits too. The name alone doesn’t tell you how much you’re buying for your group.
Compare the weight and, where stated, the number of biscuits or servings on the label.
A chocolate or butter variety may contain different ingredients and carry different warnings from plain spritz biscuits. A familiar brand or a label you’ve read before is no substitute for checking.
Before serving, read the label on each individual pack, even if they’re all from the same brand.
If fewer guests have spritz biscuits than you expected, you’ll have more opened biscuits left over. Storage advice from retailers including Albert Heijn and Verkade recommends sealing opened packs tightly.
Put some out first, top up if needed, and seal any remaining biscuits according to the instructions on the packaging.
Ingredients and warnings can vary between varieties and packs. This is particularly important if a guest needs to avoid an allergen.
Compare the information just before you buy, and check the packaging in your hands before serving.

A milk chocolate variety to pair with other flavours or put out later.
Weight: 150 g. Choose the number of packs to suit your expected group size; before buying and serving, check the ingredients, allergens and any warnings on the current packaging.
Start with the number of guests who are likely to have spritz biscuits, then compare the weight, number of biscuits and any serving information on the packaging. Jumbo lists De Molen's Banket Spritsen as 40 × 38 g; that’s pack information, not a set number of biscuits per guest.
No. Ingredients and warnings can vary between varieties. Always check the current packaging of the specific spritz biscuits you’re buying and serving, even if you’ve already looked at another flavour from the same brand.
Read the ingredients list and any warnings on the packaging. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains that 14 allergens must be declared on food labels; at a garden party, you can let guests check the packaging for themselves.
Follow the storage advice on the pack and seal any opened packaging tightly. Product information from retailers including Albert Heijn and Verkade advises storing biscuits in a dry place and sealing opened packs.
