Choose individually wrapped spritz biscuits if you want to set them out or hand them out one at a time at the school fair without having to open a shared pack each time. Foods & Goods describes a box of De Molen's Banket as containing 40 individually wrapped biscuits; for a smaller group, a standard pack may be more practical if you’re allowed to share them out yourself. Before buying, check what the school allows and which allergens are listed on the packaging of the variety you choose.
If you want to have lots of individual portions ready, you could consider the box of De Molen's Banket. Jumbo lists 40 biscuits weighing 38 g each, and Foods & Goods describes them as individually wrapped.
Before buying, ask what the school allows and whether any children have relevant allergies. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends asking about allergies in advance; then check the label on the exact spritz variety you’re considering.
If 40 biscuits is too many and individual wrappers aren’t needed, a standard pack may be a better match for the number you need. However, you’ll need an approved way to share the biscuits out yourself.
First, decide whether each biscuit needs its own wrapper and whether the school allows the spritz variety you’ve chosen. Then match the quantity and variety to the occasion.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Individually wrapped | Look for an explicit mention of individual wrappers and check the number of biscuits. A pack containing several biscuits doesn’t mean each one is individually wrapped. | If I want to hand out biscuits straight away, I don’t want to keep opening a shared pack. Individual packaging is a top priority for around 38% of consumers. |
| School rules and allergens | Ask what the school allows and read the ingredients and allergen information on the packaging you’re buying. | If a child needs to avoid certain ingredients, I first need to know whether these spritz biscuits are suitable. School rules and allergens are the main priority for around 31% of consumers. |
| Number of portions | Count how many biscuits you want to hand out and compare that with the number in each pack. Jumbo lists 40 biscuits weighing 38 g each for De Molen's Banket. | For a small group, I don’t want to bring far more biscuits than I need. Around 23% of consumers prioritise a suitable number of portions. |
| Variety and recipe | Compare the exact variety and check the ingredients again; a different flavour may have a different recipe. | If the packaging, school rules and quantity are all right, I can choose which spritz variety to hand out. This comes first for around 8% of consumers. |
An outer pack containing several spritz biscuits isn’t the same as a wrapper around each biscuit. Foods & Goods explicitly says that the biscuits in the box of De Molen's Banket are individually wrapped.
Before buying, check whether the packaging says ‘individually wrapped’ or ‘wrapped individually’ and how many separate biscuits it contains.
Other ingredients and allergens can matter to children too. The product information for the spritz varieties reviewed lists wheat and milk, among other ingredients; information about eggs, nuts and other allergens varies by variety.
Ask about relevant allergies in advance and read both the ingredients and any ‘may contain’ statements on the exact packaging.
Jumbo lists 40 biscuits in the box of De Molen's Banket. That may leave you with biscuits to spare if you’re catering for a small group, while a standard pack won’t necessarily offer the same way of handing them out.
Count the portions you need before deciding which pack size is right.
According to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, school rules may determine what children are allowed to bring in as a treat. Individual wrappers don’t change those rules.
Before buying, ask the school or fair organiser what rules apply to biscuits, ingredients and packaging.

Yes, if the school allows biscuits and the way you plan to hand them out. According to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, school rules may determine what children are allowed to bring in as a treat, so ask what arrangements apply to this fair before you buy.
No. Having its own wrapper doesn’t remove allergens from a biscuit. The product information for De Molen's Banket Spritsen lists wheat and milk, and notes that other allergens may be present. Ask about relevant allergies and check the label on the pack you’ll actually be handing out.
Check the ingredients, allergen information, best-before date and storage instructions for the exact variety. If each child needs an individually wrapped biscuit, also check that individual packaging is explicitly mentioned.
Follow the storage instructions on the pack you’ve bought. If you’ve opened a standard pack, also check the instructions for storage after opening; don’t assume the same instructions apply to every spritz variety.
