For Sunday breakfast, choose a 2-pack or 3-pack if you want to open one pack and keep the others sealed for later. If you’re serving the spritz biscuits all at once, a larger single pack may be more practical. Whichever you choose, check the contents per pack, along with the ingredients and allergens for that particular variety.
If you don’t serve the same number of spritz biscuits every Sunday, you can keep some of a multipack sealed. Albert Heijn lists its Verkade Nobo plain spritz biscuits in 2-packs and 3-packs, supplied as separate packs.
If you want to share the spritz biscuits all at once, you could also consider a larger single pack. PLUS lists a 250 g tray, while Lidl lists a 400 g pack.
Check the ingredients and allergens for the exact variety you’ve chosen. The listings from PLUS and Verkade show that the ingredients in spritz biscuit products can vary.
First, decide how many individual packs you want to open. Then check the total quantity, and if you have a particular flavour or ingredient preference, check the packaging of the spritz biscuits you’ve chosen.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Individual packs | Check the number of packs and the contents per pack; a multipack doesn’t tell you whether the biscuits are individually wrapped. | If the group size varies, I want to be able to open one pack and keep the rest sealed. For around 50% of consumers, this flexibility comes first. |
| Total quantity | Compare the total quantity with how much you want to serve at breakfast and save for later. | If the spritz biscuits are going straight on the table, I don’t want to open more packs than necessary. The quantity is the main consideration for around 30% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and variety | Read the ingredients list, allergen information and nutritional details on the pack you’ve chosen. | When flavour or ingredients determine my choice, I want to know what’s in these particular spritz biscuits. Around 20% of consumers prioritise checking this. |
According to Albert Heijn, the Verkade Nobo plain spritz biscuit 2-pack and 3-pack contain separate retail packs. That doesn’t mean the biscuits inside those packs are individually wrapped.
If you need individually wrapped portions, check the packaging before choosing a multipack for that purpose.
A 3-pack contains more spritz biscuits than a 2-pack, but that doesn’t automatically make it a better choice for a smaller breakfast. A single larger pack may also be enough if everything is being served at once.
Decide how much you want to open, then compare the total quantity and the weight per pack.
PLUS lists wheat, milk and egg among the ingredients in its butter spritz biscuits; Verkade lists wheat and milk derivatives in its Nobo Sprits Original. Another variety may have different ingredients.
For the flavour you’ve chosen, read the current ingredients list, allergen information and any warnings on the packaging.
Verkade describes Nobo Sprits Original as a crisp biscuit. Albert Heijn sells the plain variety in multipacks of two or three separate packs.
PLUS lists 175 g butter spritz biscuits and round butter spritz biscuits in a 250 g tray.
ALDI lists Biscotto butter spritz biscuits in a pack of 12, weighing 175 g.
Albert Heijn lists Verkade Nobo plain spritz biscuits in 2-packs and 3-packs containing separate packs.
Lidl lists butter spritz biscuits in a 400 g single pack.
They’re useful for keeping unopened packs for later, but they’re not automatically suitable for individual lunchbox portions. Albert Heijn lists its Verkade Nobo plain spritz biscuit multipacks as containing two or three 150 g packs; check the packaging if the biscuits need to be individually wrapped.
A larger single pack may be a good choice if you’re sharing the spritz biscuits at one breakfast. PLUS lists a 250 g tray and Lidl a 400 g pack. If you want to keep some spritz biscuits sealed for next time, look at the number of separate packs in a multipack instead.
Follow the storage instructions on the packaging you’ve chosen. PLUS says to store its round butter spritz biscuits in a cool, dry place; for an opened pack, check the instructions for that exact variety.
Yes, check the allergen information for the variety you’re buying. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains how allergens are listed on the labels of pre-packed foods. PLUS and Verkade list different ingredients and potential allergens for their spritz biscuit products, so don’t rely on the information for a different flavour or pack.
