Choose a 400 g pack if several people regularly dip into the biscuit tin and you can store the spritz biscuits in a dry, sealed container after opening. Lidl Netherlands lists this pack as an in-store product. For a smaller top-up or a chance to try several flavours, the 150–200 g packs listed by Albert Heijn and PLUS Supermarket are worth comparing.

If several people regularly enjoy spritz biscuits, one larger pack can be a practical way to top up the tin. Lidl Netherlands lists 400 g packs of butter spritz biscuits as an in-store product. Jumbo also lists 400 g packs of Continental Bakeries Sprits Naturel, but says this product is no longer available in its online range.
A smaller pack is handy if you want to put out different types of spritz biscuits or prefer to open less at a time. Albert Heijn lists a 150 g pack, while PLUS Supermarket lists 175 g and 200 g varieties.
Ingredients and warnings vary between varieties. Always check the current label on the exact spritz biscuits you choose, even if you already know the brand.
First, work out how many spritz biscuits you expect to eat before your next shop. Then choose a suitable variety and check the information on the packaging.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Plenty to go round | Compare the net weight and check the range at the shop or branch where you plan to buy. | If several people share the same biscuit tin, I want one pack to last until my next shop. Having enough in the pack is a priority for around 38% of consumers. |
| A suitably small pack | Check how many grams you’ll open at once and whether you want to serve different flavours. | I want a small top-up that won’t be left open for long. A suitable pack size is the main concern for around 31% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and flavour | Read the ingredients and allergen information, including any ‘may contain’ warnings, on the pack you choose. | If I’m choosing a different flavour, I want to know which ingredients and allergens are in that particular variety. This check matters most to around 31% of consumers. |
