If you want to put out individually wrapped biscuits for each guest, De Molen's Banket Sprits are a good choice: Albert Heijn and Bidfood describe a box of 40 biscuits weighing 38 g each, individually wrapped. For a small gathering, a standard sharing pack may be enough if individual wrappers aren’t essential. Seal it properly after opening, and check the current label for allergens on whichever variety you choose.
If you want to count out and set aside sealed portions in advance, look for a clear statement that each biscuit is individually wrapped. Albert Heijn and Bidfood describe De Molen's Banket Sprits as a box of 40 individually wrapped biscuits.
If you’ll finish an opened pack in one or a few sittings, a standard sharing pack may do the job. AH Spritsen are sold in packs of 10; once opened, reseal the pack properly, following the storage advice.
Check the ingredients and allergen information on the exact pack you’re serving. An individual wrapper doesn’t tell you which allergens a biscuit contains.
First decide whether each biscuit needs to stay sealed until it’s handed out. Then choose a suitable quantity and check the label of the variety you’ve picked.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Individual wrappers | Look for a clear statement that each biscuit is individually wrapped, and check how many biscuits are in the pack. | I want to set out sealed biscuits for each guest without passing an opened pack around. Around 50% of consumers prioritise individual portions. |
| Quantity | Compare the number of biscuits and the weight per pack with what you need for your group. | For a small gathering, I don’t want lots of biscuits left over; for a larger group, I want to have enough to put out. Around 30% of consumers give the right quantity top priority. |
| Allergens | Read the ingredients, allergen information and any warnings on the current label for the exact variety you’ve chosen. | If a guest has a food allergy, I want to know what these biscuits contain before serving them. Checking the label is the main concern for around 20% of consumers. |
A stated quantity or pack weight doesn’t mean that each biscuit is individually wrapped. That distinction matters if you want to hand out sealed portions.
Look for an explicit product description such as ‘individually wrapped’. Albert Heijn and Bidfood use this wording for De Molen's Banket Sprits.
A box of 40 individually wrapped biscuits may be more than you need for a small gathering.
Work out how many guests you’re expecting and how many biscuits you want to put out before choosing a pack size.
Ingredients and allergens can vary between varieties. For example, Jumbo lists milk, soya and wheat in Verkade Nobo Sprits Double Chocolate.
When you buy the biscuits and before serving them, check the current label for the variety you’re actually offering.
According to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, biscuits can become soft, stale or dried out over time.
Follow the storage advice on the pack and seal it properly after opening if you’re saving the rest for another occasion.

No. Check the allergen information on the label of the spritz biscuits you’ve chosen. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says that allergen information must appear on the label of prepacked foods; the wrapper alone doesn’t tell you which ingredients the biscuit contains.
Follow the storage advice on the pack and seal it properly after opening. Albert Heijn recommends resealing AH Spritsen and Verkade Nobo Sprits; the Netherlands Nutrition Centre lists becoming soft, stale or dried out as signs that biscuits have lost quality.
A best-before date indicates the date until which a product is expected to keep its quality, as described by the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority. Also follow the storage advice on the pack, especially if it has already been opened.
