Which size works best for you?

When you plan to eat them will mainly determine how many spritz biscuits you want to take and what information you should check first.

Night-shift worker with one planned snack break

Wants to take a small portion from a compact pack rather than opening the whole pack during a single shift.

Colleague who wants to share snacks

May find a stated biscuit count or a larger pack useful, but should also take the chosen variety’s allergens into account when handing them out.

Lunchbox planner checking allergens

Checks the ingredients, allergens, use-by date and storage advice before putting the spritz biscuits in a lunchbox. The relevant allergens vary from product to product.

What should you look for when buying?

First, choose how much you need for one shift or for sharing. Then check the label for the exact flavour, especially if someone else will be eating them too.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Amount for one shift Check the net weight and decide in advance how much to take in a resealable container. A small pack doesn’t mean the biscuits are individually wrapped. If I’m only planning one snack break, I don’t want to take the whole pack. For around 40% of consumers, deciding on the right amount in advance comes first.
Sharing and stocking up Compare the pack size and biscuit count: ALDI Nederland lists 12 biscuits in a 175 g pack of Biscotto Roomboterspritsen. Also check how to store an opened pack. If you want to share spritz biscuits with colleagues or keep some for several shifts, you’ll mainly want a suitable quantity. This is the most important factor for around 30% of consumers.
Ingredients and allergens Read the label for your chosen variety, including the allergen information, best-before date and storage advice. If I’m packing biscuits for someone else, I want to know which ingredients and allergens they contain. This is the most important factor when choosing for around 20% of consumers.
Flavour Compare the exact varieties by ingredients and nutritional values per 100 g. Verkade lists 29,3 g of sugars for Nobo Sprits Melk and 24,2 g for Nobo Sprits Original. Once the practical requirements are met, I can choose plain or chocolate according to taste. This preference is the deciding factor for around 10% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Choosing a large pack for one snack break

    If you’re only taking a small portion, a 300–400 g pack leaves you with more opened biscuits than a 150–175 g pack.

    Choose a large pack if you’re actually sharing it or using it over several breaks. For one shift, put the amount you want in a well-sealed container in advance.

  • Taking spritz biscuits as a substitute for a planned meal

    A pack of biscuits won’t take care of what you plan to eat for the rest of your night shift. A treat and a meal have different roles in your plans.

    Plan your meals and snack breaks separately, then decide how many spritz biscuits you’d like to take as a treat.

  • Sharing a flavour without checking the label

    Ingredients and allergens vary between spritz biscuit varieties. The general product name or a familiar brand name won’t tell you whether a particular variety is suitable for a colleague.

    If you’re sharing, ask about any relevant allergies and keep the pack handy so everyone can read the information for the product you’ve chosen.

Brands and product ranges to compare

These examples show the pack sizes and differences between varieties you can compare. A brand name alone doesn’t tell you how an individual product is packaged.

Verkade

Nobo Sprits Original and Nobo Sprits Melk are described as 150 g varieties.

  • Verkade lists 15% milk chocolate for the milk variety. The published sugar values are 29,3 g per 100 g for Melk and 24,2 g per 100 g for Original.
  • A 150 g pack doesn’t necessarily mean the biscuits are individually wrapped. Check the packaging if that matters when sharing.

Biscotto

According to ALDI Nederland, Biscotto offers butter spritz biscuits in a 12-piece, 175 g pack, as well as a 300–400 g variety.

  • The stated number of biscuits in the 175 g pack makes it easier to portion them out in advance.
  • A biscuit count doesn’t confirm that they’re individually wrapped; check the inner packaging if needed.

PLUS

PLUS Spritsen Per Wikkel is a 175 g pack.

  • The product information lists the ingredients and allergens. PLUS recommends storing the biscuits in a cool, dry place.
  • When buying, check the label on the pack you’re actually taking, especially if allergens are a concern.

Albert Heijn

AH Choco sprits is described as a 150 g chocolate variety.

  • The stated pack size makes it easy to compare with other small packs.
  • Check the packaging for this exact variety’s ingredients, allergens and nutritional values.

Frequently asked questions

Which pack should I choose for lunchboxes or sharing with colleagues?

Choose a pack with a stated biscuit count if you want to portion them out individually: ALDI Nederland lists 12 biscuits in a 175 g pack of Biscotto Roomboterspritsen. For a larger supply to share, you could also look at 300–400 g packs; just check how to store the contents after opening.

Which allergens should I check in spritz biscuits?

Read the allergen information on the pack for the exact variety. The products described list ingredients including wheat, milk, egg or soya, while information about possible traces can vary. Check the label again before giving the biscuits to someone else.

How should I store an opened pack of spritz biscuits?

Follow the storage advice for the product you’ve chosen. For Verkade Nobo Sprits Original, Jumbo advises storing the biscuits in a cool, dry place and keeping the contents sealed after opening. PLUS also advises storing its spritz biscuits in a cool, dry place.

Should I take spritz biscuits instead of a meal during my night shift?

Plan spritz biscuits as a treat, not as a substitute for the meal you intend to eat during your shift. Plan your meal breaks in advance, and only take the amount of biscuits that suits your plans.
