Who is this choice relevant to?

People in charge of offering smaller biscuits

For a shared biscuit tin, look for spritz biscuits labelled mini, so colleagues can choose a smaller biscuit too. Check that your chosen product is available before buying.

People buying the regular office supplies

You want to be able to buy a suitable quantity and store the rest according to the instructions on the pack after refilling the tin.

Offices with allergen guidelines

Before adding spritz biscuits to a shared tin, check the label for ingredients, allergens and any warnings that the product may contain other allergens.

What should you consider when choosing?

First decide whether smaller biscuits or an easy-to-replenish supply is your priority. Then check whether the ingredients in each remaining option meet your office guidelines.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Smaller biscuits Check whether the product is explicitly labelled mini, how many biscuits it contains and whether it is available. If I want to offer smaller biscuits, the name spritz alone doesn’t tell me enough about the size. For around 42% of consumers, smaller biscuits are the priority.
Stock and storage Compare the net weight and storage instructions, and make sure the biscuit tin closes properly. I want to be able to refill the tin without leaving a large quantity of biscuits open for a long time. For around 25% of consumers, having a convenient supply is the top priority.
Ingredients and allergens Read the current label, including any ‘may contain’ warnings, before sharing the biscuits. If colleagues have allergen guidelines, I want to know exactly what the spritz biscuits I’ve chosen contain. Around 33% of consumers prioritise this check.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming all spritz biscuits are small

    A regular pack of spritz biscuits doesn’t guarantee a mini size. Jumbo does explicitly label its 125 g Sprits Staafjes Mini as mini.

    Check the full product name and size on the pack before choosing it for smaller biscuits.

  • Assuming a product you’ve found is currently available

    Jumbo no longer listed the 125 g Mini in its online range. A listing for a temporary offer on another spritz product doesn’t confirm that it’s currently in stock either.

    Check your chosen shop or delivery option shortly before buying, and decide whether regular spritz biscuits would be a suitable alternative.

  • Choosing based on the flavour name alone

    Ingredients and allergens vary by product. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority notes that allergens must be listed on the label.

    Whenever you open a new pack, check the ingredients list, allergen information and nutritional information again.

  • Putting the whole pack in the tin at once

    Your chosen spritz biscuits may need to be stored in a cool, dry place, with the opened pack sealed properly.

    Refill the tin in smaller amounts and store the rest according to the instructions on the pack.

Brands to consider

Jumbo

Jumbo lists Sprits Staafjes Mini 125 g and also sells regular butter spritz biscuits.

  • The Mini label makes it clear which product to assess for size.
  • Jumbo no longer listed the 125 g Mini in its online range. This product contains wheat and milk and may contain almonds; check the current packaging too.

Albert Heijn

Albert Heijn lists AH Spritsen and Verkade Nobo Sprits Naturel as separate products.

  • AH Spritsen are listed in a 200 g pack, with ten 20 g portions.
  • A stated portion size doesn’t mean the biscuits are mini. Check the ingredients and allergens on the pack.

Verkade

Verkade lists Nobo Sprits in plain and milk chocolate varieties.

  • You can check the ingredients and nutritional information for each variety separately.
  • The 150 g plain pack isn’t labelled mini. Check the allergens for each variety and pack.

PLUS

PLUS lists products including Spritsen Per Wikkel 175 g and Lunetta spritsen Per Wikkel 200 g.

  • The storage instructions for Spritsen Per Wikkel 175 g say to keep them in a cool, dry place.
  • This variety contains wheat, egg and milk, and may contain other cereals and nuts; check the label before sharing.

ALDI

ALDI lists Biscotto Roomboterspritsen in a 175 g pack containing 12 biscuits.

  • The stated number of biscuits helps you assess the contents of this regular pack.
  • The separate listing for Biscotto Spritsen 300 g was a temporary offer, not a regular stock option.

Lidl

Lidl lists 400 g butter spritz biscuits as a shop product.

  • The pack size gives you a clear point of comparison for office supplies.
  • Check the pack for portion sizes, ingredients, allergens and storage instructions before putting it in a shared tin.

Frequently asked questions

Does choosing mini spritz biscuits automatically mean people will eat fewer biscuits?

No, the smaller size doesn’t determine how many biscuits someone ends up taking. Check the number of biscuits and portion information on the pack if you want to offer a smaller serving.

Which allergens should I check in spritz biscuits for the office?

Check the allergens for the specific pack, not just the product category. Jumbo Sprits Staafjes Mini 125 g lists wheat and milk and may contain almonds; PLUS Spritsen Per Wikkel 175 g also lists egg and possible traces of other cereals and nuts.

How should I store opened spritz biscuits for the office?

Follow the storage instructions for your chosen product and seal the remaining pack properly after refilling the tin. It’s better to put a small amount in a tightly sealed tin than to leave the whole supply open for a long time.

Is online allergen information enough for a shared biscuit tin?

Use online product information to help you make an initial selection, but check the label on the current pack before sharing. Ingredients and allergen information can change between products or recipes.
