If you want to divide spritz biscuits between several school lunches, compare the stated number of biscuits or portions rather than looking only at the pack weight. Check whether there are individual inner wrappers and how to store an opened pack. Before packing, read the current allergen information and check any school rules. Pack spritz biscuits as a snack, not as a replacement for lunch.
You want to decide in advance how many biscuits to pack with each lunch. A stated number of biscuits or portions is more helpful than the pack weight alone; check separately whether the biscuits are individually wrapped.
You check the current label for each flavour, including warnings about the possible presence of allergens. School or class rules may also affect what you pack.
You want to add a biscuit without treating it as lunch. The Voedingscentrum also suggests fruit, vegetables and bread or wraps as snack options.
First, decide how many lunch portions you want from one pack. Then check the packaging and the label for the specific flavour.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Most relevant to |
|---|---|---|
| Portioning | Check the number of biscuits or stated portions, and whether there are individual inner wrappers. | If I’m packing for several school days, I want to be able to measure out an amount for each lunch at home. Portion planning is a top priority for about 31% of consumers. |
| Allergens | Read the current label, including any ‘may contain’ warnings, and check the school’s rules. | If allergens are a concern for a pupil or classmate, I want to know whether this particular flavour is suitable to pack. This check is the main priority for about 31% of consumers. |
| Place in the lunch | Compare the nutritional information per 100 g and per portion, and consider what else you’re packing. | I want to pack a biscuit without losing sight of the rest of the lunch. About 23% of consumers prioritise this consideration. |
| Flavour | Compare the plain and chocolate varieties by ingredients and allergens, not just by taste. | If the pupil has a clear flavour preference, I want to choose a suitable variety without overlooking the ingredients. This flavour choice is the deciding factor for about 15% of consumers. |
A stated number of portions tells you how many servings the seller counts the pack as containing; it doesn’t mean each biscuit has its own wrapper. That distinction matters if you want to pack biscuits from one pack for several days.
Check the inner packaging. If needed, portion the biscuits out at home and follow the storage instructions for the rest of the pack.
Depending on the product, the varieties mentioned also list other allergens. For example, Albert Heijn lists milk and soya for Verkade Nobo milk chocolate spritz biscuits, and warns of the possible presence of nuts and sesame.
Check the label for your chosen variety every time you buy it, and make sure what you pack complies with any relevant rules agreed with parents or carers and the school.
Spritz biscuits are a snack. The Voedingscentrum points out that many snacks contain sugar or saturated fat; a biscuit doesn’t replace the rest of the lunch you pack.
Decide on the portion in advance and pack a proper lunch as well.
Albert Heijn lists 150 g packs of Verkade Nobo plain and milk chocolate spritz biscuits.
AH Spritsen is listed as a 200 g pack containing 10 biscuits and 10 portions of 20 g.
Jumbo lists a 200 g pack of Spritsen met Pure Chocolade with 15 portions.
PLUS lists several spritz biscuit varieties, including Spritsen Per Wikkel (175 g) and Korenlanders Spritsen (200 g).
These milk chocolate spritz biscuits are an option if you want to portion out lunch snacks yourself from a 150 g pack. If you need set portions, check how many biscuits are in the pack and whether there are individual inner wrappers.
