Choose spritz biscuits that are clearly labelled as individually wrapped if you want to spread them over several nights in without opening a whole pack each time. If you’re likely to eat most of the pack in one evening, a standard pack may be fine; seal any leftovers properly and check the ingredients and allergen information on the label whichever you choose.
Do you want to grab one biscuit at a time or set aside individual portions for others? Look for packaging that explicitly says the spritz biscuits are individually wrapped. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises keeping biscuits in a cool, dry, dark place in a well-sealed container.
If you’ll eat most of the biscuits during one night in, a standard pack may suit you. Seal any leftovers properly and follow the storage advice on the packaging.
Compare the ingredients and nutritional information for the variety you’ve chosen, and check the current label before eating. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority points out that allergens must be listed on the labels of prepacked foods.
First decide whether you want to have individual biscuits over several evenings or mainly share one pack. Then check the packaging and label of your chosen spritz biscuits.
| What to consider | What to check | Who is it for? |
|---|---|---|
| Individual portions | Look for an explicit statement that each biscuit is individually wrapped. Albert Heijn describes De Molen's Banket Sprits as 40 individually wrapped biscuits weighing 38 g each; check availability before buying. | I want to be able to have one spritz biscuit on different evenings without opening the rest of the pack. Individual portions are the most important factor for around 46% of consumers making this choice. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients and allergen information on the current packaging, even if you’ve already looked at a variety online. | I want to know what ingredients my chosen spritz biscuits contain before serving them. For around 27% of consumers, checking the label comes first. |
| Sharing a pack | Compare the weight in grams and the number of biscuits or portions. Consider whether you’re likely to have any left over and how you’ll seal them. | If we’ll eat most of the pack during one night in, I mainly need a suitable quantity. This is the most important consideration for around 27% of consumers. |
A mention of 10 or 12 biscuits tells you what’s in the pack, not how each biscuit is wrapped. Albert Heijn explicitly says that De Molen's Banket Sprits are individually wrapped.
If you need individual wrappers, look for a clear statement on the product page or packaging.
A product description doesn’t guarantee availability: Albert Heijn lists De Molen's Banket Sprits as not in its range.
Check availability with the shop you plan to buy from before relying on this option.
If you want to keep biscuits for another evening, a standard pack needs a little attention once it’s open.
Seal the pack properly and store the spritz biscuits according to the advice on the packaging. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises keeping biscuits in a cool, dry and dark place.

No, it depends on when you want to eat the biscuits. Individual wrappers are handy if you’re spreading portions over several evenings; if you’ll eat most of the pack that evening, a standard pack may be fine. Seal any leftovers properly.
Look for an explicit statement that each biscuit is individually wrapped. A number of biscuits or portions, or a photo of the box, doesn’t confirm this; check the packaging when your order arrives, too.
At the very least, read the ingredients, allergens, best-before date and any storage instructions on the current packaging. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority emphasises that allergens must be listed on the labels of prepacked foods.
