If you’re handing them out to individual visitors, choose spritz biscuits that are explicitly described as individually wrapped. Albert Heijn and bol describe De Molen's Banket Sprits as a box of 40 individually wrapped biscuits weighing 38 g each; a regular pack is more suitable when you’re serving the biscuits all at once. Before buying, check the number of biscuits, the best-before date and the allergens listed on the packaging.
If you’d rather not handle loose biscuits during a busy handout, look for a variety that’s explicitly individually wrapped. Albert Heijn and bol describe De Molen's Banket Sprits as 40 individually wrapped biscuits weighing 38 g each.
If you know someone has an allergy, the information on the packaging of the product you choose is what matters. The spritz varieties described contain ingredients such as wheat and milk; other allergen information varies by variety.
If individual wrappers aren’t needed, you can choose a regular pack and serve the biscuits together. Albert Heijn says that Verkade Nobo Sprits naturel should be stored in a sealed pack after opening.
First decide whether you want to hand out each biscuit in its own wrapper. Then check that the allergen information and quantity are right for your group.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Individually wrapped biscuits | Look for an explicit statement that each biscuit is individually wrapped, and check the quantity. | If I’m handing out one biscuit to each visitor in a busy queue, I don’t want to keep handling an open pack. For around 38% of consumers, individually wrapped biscuits would be the top priority. |
| Allergens | Check the ingredients, allergens and any ‘may contain’ statements on the pack you buy. | If I need to consider a known allergy, I want to know what’s in the spritz biscuits I’ve chosen before handing them out. Checking allergens would be the top priority for around 31% of consumers. |
| Quantity and storage | Compare the number of biscuits with the number of people receiving them, and check the best-before date and storage instructions. | For a smaller group, I don’t want to choose a box that’s much bigger than necessary; if I’m handing them out over a longer period, how I store the biscuits matters too. Around 31% of consumers would give quantity and logistics the most weight. |
The weight of a pack or the words ‘Per Wikkel’ don’t confirm that each biscuit has its own wrapper. With a regular pack, you may need to handle the biscuits individually when handing them out.
Check that the product description explicitly says ‘individually wrapped’ and states how many separate biscuits you’ll receive.
The wrapper doesn’t change the ingredients. The spritz products described contain ingredients such as wheat and milk; other allergen information may vary by product.
Read the label on the pack you’ve bought before handing the biscuits out. If someone has a known dietary restriction, agree on a separate alternative with them or their carer.
For an event, it’s important to consider the pack you receive, its best-before date and whether it’s available.
Check the latest product information before buying, then check the label and best-before date on the packaging when it arrives.
The Sprits variety described by Albert Heijn and bol comes in a box of 40 individually wrapped biscuits weighing 38 g each.
Albert Heijn sells Nobo Sprits naturel in a regular 150 g pack. It’s an option for serving biscuits together when individual wrappers aren’t needed.
PLUS lists products including individually wrapped spritz biscuits and Lunetta individually wrapped spritz biscuits.
No. Check whether the product information says that each biscuit is individually wrapped. Albert Heijn and bol say this about the box of De Molen's Banket Sprits, which contains 40 biscuits weighing 38 g each. A pack weight alone doesn’t tell you whether each biscuit has its own wrapper.
Read the full allergen information on the packaging you’re actually handing out. The spritz products described contain ingredients such as wheat and milk, while information about allergens such as egg, soya, nuts or sesame may vary by product. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says that allergen information must appear on the label of pre-packed products.
Follow the storage instructions and best-before date on the pack you’ve chosen. Albert Heijn advises storing Verkade Nobo Sprits naturel in a dry, preferably cool place, and sealing the pack after opening. Keep individually wrapped biscuits in their own wrappers until it’s time to hand them out.
Don’t hand a standard spritz biscuit to someone without checking whether an ingredient or allergen statement may be relevant to them. Read the label on the pack you’ve chosen and agree on a suitable alternative, kept separate, with the person or their carer.
