Which spritz biscuits are right for you?

If you’re looking for a pack for yourself

Check the number of biscuits and the serving size if you want to know in advance how many are in a pack. A stated serving size doesn’t tell you whether each biscuit has its own wrapper.

If you’re choosing a flavour for Easter

Plain, milk chocolate and advocaat-flavoured options give you a few choices for a little Easter treat. Compare the ingredients and allergens for the flavour you’re actually buying.

If you need to check for allergens

Read the current ingredients list and any warnings on the exact pack you’ve chosen. The spritz biscuit varieties mentioned contain wheat and milk, among other ingredients; other listed allergens vary by product.

What to look for in spritz biscuits

First decide whether a suitable quantity is enough or whether each biscuit really needs to be individually wrapped. Then compare the flavour and the information on the label.

What to consider What to check Who it matters to
Servings and wrappers Check the number of biscuits or servings, and look for an explicit statement that they’re individually wrapped if you need separate wrappers. For a single snack, I want to know how many biscuits I’m taking without mistaking a serving for an individually wrapped biscuit. This is the main consideration for around 42% of consumers.
Flavour and ingredients Compare plain biscuits with chocolate or cream varieties, and read the allergen information for the variety you’ve chosen. When I’m shopping for Easter, the flavour I want is the deciding factor, but I also want to know which ingredients it contains. Around 33% of consumers put this first.
Pack size Compare the total weight and number of biscuits, and check the storage instructions for an opened pack. If I’m buying just for myself, I don’t want a bigger pack than I can use. A suitable quantity is the main concern for around 25% of consumers.

Common mistakes when choosing spritz biscuits

  • Mistaking a serving for an individually wrapped biscuit

    Albert Heijn lists the number of biscuits or servings for various spritz biscuits. That doesn’t tell you whether you can take an individually wrapped biscuit with you.

    Check the pack or product specifications to see whether the biscuits are explicitly described as individually wrapped.

  • Assuming every flavour has the same allergens

    Plain biscuits and spritz biscuits with chocolate or cream can have different ingredients and allergens. So buying one variety before doesn’t tell you everything about another.

    Read the ingredients list and any warnings on the current pack for the exact flavour you’ve chosen.

  • Assuming online availability won’t change

    Whether you can order a particular type of spritz biscuit can change. This matters especially if you’re shopping for a specific Easter occasion.

    Check current availability and delivery options before counting on a particular variety.
