For days when you need biscuits to take with you, a pack with a clearly stated number of portions can make planning easier: Jumbo lists De Molen's Banket Spritsen as 40 × 38 g. If you’re looking for a smaller supply for the biscuit tin, compare standard 175 g packs. If you’re considering a bulk pack, check whether the biscuits are individually wrapped if you need to take them out and about. And treat spritz biscuits at breakfast as a biscuit to enjoy alongside other breakfast foods.
When family members leave at different times, a clearly stated number of portions makes it easier to plan your supply. Check separately whether each biscuit is individually wrapped if you need to take them out and about.
If you only reach for a spritz biscuit at home now and then, compare standard packs by size, flavour and ingredients. You may not need a large number of portions.
A biscuit is quick to grab, but it doesn’t have to be the basis of breakfast. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre lists options such as wholemeal bread and yoghurt, or a fortified dairy alternative with wholegrain breakfast cereal.
First decide how many biscuit occasions you want the pack to cover. Then check whether the label and packaging suit the people who’ll be eating the spritz biscuits.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Number of portions | Look for the number of biscuits and the weight per portion. Check whether they’re individually wrapped if you need to take them out with you. | If family members take something with them at different times, I want to be able to plan how many biscuit occasions the pack will cover. Around 28% of consumers would reportedly see the number of portions as their main consideration. |
| Pack size | Compare the net weight with how much you expect to use. Jumbo, PLUS and ALDI each list a 175 g spritz biscuit option. | If the biscuit tin is only opened now and then, I don’t want to buy more than I’ll use. Around 22% of consumers would reportedly prioritise a pack size that suits their needs. |
| Role at breakfast | Decide whether the spritz biscuit is for a biscuit break or to have alongside other breakfast foods. If needed, check the nutritional information per portion. | On a busy morning, I don’t want a quick biscuit to end up becoming my whole breakfast without me realising. Around 28% of consumers would reportedly see the role of spritz biscuits at breakfast as the main question. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the current label for the variant you’ve chosen, including any warnings about cross-contamination. | If someone at home needs to avoid an ingredient, I want to be able to check the right variant. Around 22% of consumers would reportedly make checking the label their first priority. |
Jumbo lists De Molen's Banket Spritsen as 40 × 38 g. This tells you how many portions are in the pack, but it doesn’t tell you whether each biscuit is individually wrapped.
Before relying on having individual biscuits to take with you, check both the number of biscuits and how they’re packaged on the pack you’ve chosen.
Convenience doesn’t tell you what else is on the breakfast table. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre lists options such as wholemeal bread and yoghurt, or a fortified dairy alternative with wholegrain breakfast cereal.
If you like, plan spritz biscuits as a biscuit break or an extra, and choose the rest of your breakfast foods separately.
Ingredients can vary between variants or change over time. Verkade lists wheat, milk and soya among the ingredients in Nobo Sprits Melk; this doesn’t tell you what’s in another pack.
Check the label on the pack you’ve actually chosen every time you buy, including any warnings about cross-contamination.
A pack of 40 × 38 g gives you a different-sized supply from a standard 175 g pack. The larger size is most useful when you’ll actually use all those portions.
Match the number of biscuit occasions and the net weight to how much you use at home, rather than choosing based only on the words ‘family pack’.
Compare the product ranges and variants listed here individually: pack size, ingredients and packaging can vary.
Verkade offers Nobo Sprits variants, including Original and Melk.

A bulk pack is best suited to when you want one supply to cover plenty of biscuit occasions. Jumbo lists De Molen's Banket Spritsen as 40 × 38 g, while standard 175 g packs are also available if you want a smaller supply for the biscuit tin. With either size, check that the contents suit how much you’ll use.
No. This tells you the number of portions and the weight per portion, but not necessarily how each biscuit is packaged. Check the pack to see whether they’re individually wrapped if you want to take them out with you.
Check the current label for the variant you’ve chosen. Verkade lists wheat, milk and soya among the ingredients in Nobo Sprits Melk; another spritz biscuit may have a different recipe.
Follow the storage instructions on the pack you’ve chosen. For its Spritsen Per Wikkel, PLUS advises storing them in a cool, dry place. Check the pack for any additional instructions too.
