Choose a 300–400 g pack if several people will be eating together during move-in and you can store any leftover spritz biscuits in an airtight container. Packs of 150–175 g are a better fit for a small stock or lunchbox, but check the packaging to see whether they contain individually wrapped portions. Before sharing, check the ingredients and allergens for the exact variety you’ve chosen.
If housemates or helpers will be joining in, a 300–400 g pack may be a better fit than a smaller standard pack. ALDI lists a 300–400 g pack of spritz biscuits, while Lidl lists a 400 g pack. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
For personal use or a small household, a 150–175 g pack can help keep leftovers to a minimum. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list 150 g packs of Verkade Nobo Plain Spritz Biscuits, while PLUS lists 175 g packs of spritz biscuits. Check the pack to see whether the biscuits are individually wrapped.
If someone in the group needs to avoid certain allergens, choosing a suitable variety is more important than pack size. For Verkade Nobo Plain Spritz Biscuits, Jumbo lists milk and wheat, and says the product may contain nuts and sesame. Always check the label on the variety you’re buying.
Think about how many people will be eating and whether you want to take leftovers with you. Then check the inner packaging and the label on the spritz biscuits you’ve chosen.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Enough to share | Compare the net weight with the number of people eating, and think about how you’ll reseal an opened pack. | If I’m putting spritz biscuits out for housemates and helpers during move-in, I want enough to go round without being left with an awkward amount. Around 42% of consumers put having enough to share first. |
| A small stock for a lunchbox | Check the net weight and see whether there are individually wrapped portions. | For a lunchbox or a small cupboard, I don’t want to open more biscuits at once than I can use. A smaller stock is the top priority for around 33% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the current label for the variety you’ve chosen, including information about the possible presence of allergens. | When I’m buying for others, I need to know which ingredients and allergens matter to them before sharing the spritz biscuits. For around 25% of consumers, checking this comes first. |
A total weight of 300–400 g doesn’t tell you how many inner bags or individually wrapped biscuits are in the pack. You’ll notice the difference when you want to divide the spritz biscuits between several lunchboxes.
Check the pack to see how many inner bags it contains. If the biscuits aren’t individually wrapped, use airtight containers for the portions you want to take with you.
You may need extra containers or bags to portion and store the biscuits.
Ingredients and allergens vary by variety. For example, Jumbo lists milk and wheat for Verkade Nobo Plain Spritz Biscuits and says the product may contain nuts and sesame.
Before sharing, read the ingredients and allergens on the label of the exact pack you’ve bought, including any ‘may contain’ statements.
A large pack is less practical if you can’t store the leftovers properly. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends keeping biscuits in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container.
Reseal the pack properly after use or transfer the leftovers to an airtight storage container. Also follow the storage instructions on the pack.
Albert Heijn and Jumbo list 150 g packs of Verkade Nobo Plain Spritz Biscuits.
ALDI lists Biscotto butter spritz biscuits in a pack of 12 weighing 175 g, as well as a 300–400 g pack.
PLUS lists 175 g own-brand packs of spritz biscuits, including butter spritz biscuits and an advocaat variety.
Not necessarily: the weight tells you the total contents, not how many individual portions there are. Check the packaging to see how many inner bags or wrappers the pack contains.
