For a large group whose numbers you know in advance, a box of individual portions can be handy: Jumbo lists 40 portions of 38 g for De Molen's Banket Spritsen. If you’re sharing with just a few children, a smaller pack is usually easier to match to the number of people eating. Before taking them in, check the label on the variety you’ve chosen and the school or after-school club’s rules on snacks brought from home.
You want to know in advance whether there’ll be a portion for every child. Jumbo lists a box of De Molen's Banket Spritsen with 40 portions of 38 g; Albert Heijn lists AH Spritsen in a 200 g pack with 10 portions of 20 g. The right size depends on how many children there are and how you plan to hand them out.
You want to check the label on the exact pack and find out what’s been agreed with the school or after-school club. Verkade lists wheat and milk for Nobo Sprits Original; PLUS also lists egg and possible traces of nuts for its spritz biscuits. Information varies by product.
If you only share spritz biscuits with a few children now and then, compare the amount you expect to need with a smaller pack before buying a large box. Once opened, close the pack as directed on the label.
First, check that the snack is suitable for the children involved and complies with local rules. Then compare the quantity, variety and how much you’re likely to have left after sharing.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who does this matter to? |
|---|---|---|
| Allergens and rules | Check both the ‘contains’ and ‘may contain’ statements on the exact pack, and ask what the school or after-school club allows. | If I want to bring in spritz biscuits, I first need to know whether the ingredients and local rules are suitable for the children. Around 34% of consumers put this check first. |
| Quantity and serving | Compare the total weight and the stated number of biscuits or portions with the number of children. | For a group occasion, I want enough biscuits without having to guess the portion sizes as I hand them out. Around 33% of consumers put quantity first. |
| Flavour | Choose from the available plain, butter and chocolate varieties; check the label again for each one. | Once the ingredients and quantity are right, I want to choose a variety the group will enjoy. Flavour is the most important factor for around 22% of consumers. |
| Leftovers | Choose a pack size to suit a one-off or regular sharing occasion, and follow the storage instructions on the packaging. | If only a few children are eating, I don’t want to be left with a large opened pack. This is the deciding factor for around 11% of consumers. |
Allergens vary by variety. Verkade lists wheat and milk for Nobo Sprits Original; Joybuy’s product information also lists soya for the milk chocolate variety.
Check the ingredients and allergen information for the exact flavour and pack you’re buying, including any ‘may contain’ statements.
A box with 40 portions of 38 g gives you a different starting point for sharing than a 175 or 200 g pack. A large quantity isn’t automatically convenient for one small snack occasion.
Decide how many children will be eating and whether you want to set out portions in advance; then compare the packs.
According to VOO, schools can set their own rules on what pupils are allowed to hand out. So what works at home may not be suitable for a school activity.
Before buying or packing snacks, ask about the rules at the relevant school, class or after-school club.
Albert Heijn and PLUS point out that product information can change. This matters when your choice depends on a particular ingredient or allergen.

Use the online list to narrow down your options, but check the physical pack you buy. Albert Heijn and PLUS say that product information can change; when choosing for someone with an allergy, the ‘may contain’ statements on the exact variety matter too.
Follow the storage instructions on the pack and seal it properly after opening. Albert Heijn advises closing the AH Spritsen pack securely after use; choose a pack size to suit how often you plan to share the biscuits.
