| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Enough for your group | Compare the net weight and, if listed, the number of biscuits. For a large pack, also check the best-before date. | If I’m putting biscuits out for lots of people, I don’t want to run short halfway through. Having enough is a priority for around 46% of consumers. |
| Not too many left over | Choose a pack size that suits how much you plan to use and check the storage instructions. | For a small gathering, I don’t want to be left with a large stock of biscuits. That’s why around 27% of consumers prefer a quantity that’s easier to finish. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the current ingredients and allergen information for every variety you’re serving. | If I’m serving different flavours, I want to know what’s in each pack. Checking ingredients is the main concern for around 27% of consumers. |

A 175–200 g pack may not go as far for a group as a 300–400 g size or the 40 × 38 g pack listed by Jumbo. A larger pack also needs more storage space for any leftovers.
