Who is this for?

Buyers organising refreshments and catering

For a reception desk, coffee service or meeting pack, you may want to give each guest a sealed portion. DiscountOffice and Kleinkantoor describe De Molen's Banket Spritsen as individually wrapped biscuits weighing 38 g each.

Travellers packing a snack in their hand luggage

If you’re taking spritz biscuits with you from Schiphol, it’s also worth checking whether the packaging will protect them from breaking and crumbling on the way. Schiphol distinguishes between solid food and liquid or spreadable food in hand luggage.

Buyers who need to check allergens

If you’re buying spritz biscuits for someone who needs to avoid allergens, you’ll need the information for the exact variety you’ve chosen. For example, Albert Heijn lists wheat and milk for AH Spritsen, along with warnings that other allergens may be present.

What should you look for when buying?

When buying spritz biscuits to serve around Schiphol, first decide whether each guest needs a sealed biscuit. Then match the order quantity, current label information and serving method to your plans.

What to considerWhat to check when buyingWho is this important for?
Sealed portions Check whether the biscuits are described as individually wrapped, and confirm the weight and number of biscuits. If I want to give each guest one sealed biscuit, the wrapper needs to be around each individual biscuit. Around 36% of consumers prioritise this type of portion.
Suitable order quantity Compare the minimum order with the number of portions you need and check current delivery options. For a small serving occasion, I don’t want to buy far more biscuits than I need. Around 29% of consumers prioritise getting the right quantity.
Allergens Read the ingredients and allergen information on the current packaging for the exact variety you’ve chosen. The information needs to be available when I’m offering spritz biscuits to someone with a food allergy. For around 21% of consumers, checking the label is the top priority.
Serving to share Consider whether a shared pack suits the occasion and how you’ll store the biscuits once opened. If I’m putting the biscuits straight onto a shared plate, I don’t need individual wrappers. Around 14% of consumers say this is their preferred way to serve them.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a retail pack contains individually wrapped biscuits

    The weight of a pack doesn’t tell you whether each biscuit has its own wrapper. That makes a difference if every guest needs a sealed portion.

    Look for an explicit statement that the biscuits are individually wrapped, or ask the supplier how they’re packed inside the outer packaging.

  • Choosing a catering box without checking the order quantity

    DiscountOffice and Kleinkantoor list a minimum order of 40 for De Molen's Banket Spritsen. That may be more than you need for a small serving occasion.

    Count the portions you’ll need in advance, then check the minimum order and delivery options before placing your order.

  • Guessing the allergens from the name of a spritz biscuit

    Ingredients and warnings about the possible presence of allergens can vary between varieties. For AH Spritsen, Albert Heijn lists milk and wheat, as well as possible traces of allergens including egg, soya and nuts.

    Check the current label on the packaging you’ve chosen and keep that information available when serving the biscuits.

  • Confusing hand-luggage rules with import rules

    Schiphol explains what you can take through security in your hand luggage. This doesn’t tell you which food products you’re allowed to bring into your destination country.

    For international travel, also check the rules for your destination and airline.
