If the office biscuit tin empties quickly, a 300–400 g pack of spritz biscuits is a practical choice because you won’t need to top it up as often. For a small team or if you like to vary the flavours regularly, a 150–200 g pack may be a better fit. Choose the size based on how quickly the biscuits are eaten, and check the allergens for each variety. Even a large pack needs to be stored somewhere dry and sealed properly once opened.
If you regularly top up the biscuit tin, compare a 300–400 g pack with smaller ones. Albert Heijn lists AH Roomboter ronde spritsen in a 400 g pack, with 20 servings. Make sure you can store the contents somewhere dry and sealed properly.
If your team gets through biscuits more slowly, 150–200 g packs make it easier to switch flavours without having one open pack around for too long. For example, Albert Heijn lists Verkade Nobo Sprits naturel in a 150 g pack, while Jumbo and PLUS have spritz biscuit varieties in 175–200 g packs.
When biscuits are shared, it’s important to check the current ingredients and allergen information for each variety, and make it available to colleagues. Plain, chocolate and decorated spritz biscuits don’t necessarily have the same recipe.
First, work out how quickly the tin empties and how you’ll store opened spritz biscuits. Then compare the pack sizes and ingredients of the varieties that suit you.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Keeping the tin well stocked | Compare the pack weight and stated number of servings with how often you top up the tin. | If the tin empties quickly, I don’t want to have to open a new pack every time. Around 40% of consumers put having enough in stock first. |
| Keeping biscuits crisp | Choose a pack size that suits how quickly the biscuits are eaten, and store opened biscuits somewhere cool, dry and dark, in a well-sealed container, as advised by the Voedingscentrum. | In a small team, I want to avoid an opened pack sitting around for too long and the biscuits losing their crunch. Around 30% of consumers say this is their priority. |
| Allergens and ingredients | Check the current information on each variety and keep the label available alongside the shared stock. | If colleagues need to avoid certain allergens, I want to know which recipe is in the tin. This is the main concern for around 20% of consumers. |
| Flavour variety | Compare plain, chocolate and decorated varieties individually, including their weight and ingredients. | If the same spritz biscuits are always left in the tin, I’d rather put out a different variety from time to time. Around 10% of consumers put flavour variety first. |
A 300–400 g pack means you won’t need to top up the tin as often, but it may not be the best choice if your team eats the biscuits slowly or you can’t store them in a sealed container.
Choose a pack size to suit how quickly the biscuits are eaten. The Voedingscentrum advises storing biscuits somewhere cool, dry and dark, in a well-sealed container. You can also top up the tin in smaller batches.
Biscuits left open for too long may lose their crunch.
Plain, chocolate and decorated varieties have different ingredients. For example, Jumbo lists egg, milk, soya and wheat among the ingredients in its dark chocolate spritz biscuits.
Check the current packaging each time you buy, and make the allergen information available to colleagues. Don’t rely on the product name or a previous order alone.

Store opened biscuits somewhere cool, dry and dark, in a well-sealed container, as advised by the Voedingscentrum. If you have a large tin, top it up in smaller batches as needed, and follow the storage advice on the packaging too.
Keep the label for the spritz biscuits you put out available to colleagues. Check the current ingredients and allergen information on each pack: plain, chocolate and decorated varieties may have different recipes.
A best-before date relates to quality and doesn’t automatically mean the biscuits can’t be eaten afterwards. The Voedingscentrum advises checking how they look, smell and taste after that date if the packaging is still intact. Also take the storage advice on the pack into account.
