For biscuits to serve across several Christmas occasions, Tesco’s 750g custard creams offer five separate 150g packs, provided the product is back in stock. Schär’s five-portion 125g pack suits a different need: separate servings with gluten-free, wheat-free, lactose-free and vegan labelling. If one shared packet is enough, check a standard pack instead; confirm the current ingredients and allergen information before buying for guests.
Tesco Groceries lists its 750g custard creams as five 150g packs, so each pack can be opened separately. The listing showed the product out of stock on 1 October 2026; check availability before planning around it.
ASDA Groceries lists Schär’s 125g custard creams as five portion packs, with two biscuits in each. That breakdown is useful when allocating biscuits to lunchboxes or individual servings, but the total quantity is smaller than a bulk pack.
Schär’s reviewed product is labelled gluten-free, wheat-free and lactose-free, and suitable for vegans. The reviewed standard custard creams list wheat and milk ingredients or allergen advice. Check the exact current pack for the person who will eat it, including any cross-contact warnings.
Start with how many separate servings you need, then check total weight and the label for each product you are considering.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Pack breakdown | Read both net weight and the number and size of inner packs. Tesco Groceries lists 750g as 5 × 150g; ASDA Groceries lists Schär’s 125g product as five 25g portions. | I’m serving biscuits on several days, so separate packs would let me open the supply in stages. |
| Individual portions | Check how many biscuits are in each portion, not just how many packs are in the outer packet. ASDA Groceries lists two biscuits per Schär portion pack. | For lunchboxes or individual guests, I’d rather allocate a small pack than divide one shared packet. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the current ingredient list and allergen statement for the exact pack. Check free-from and vegan wording separately; also read any cross-contact cautions. | Someone eating the biscuits needs a particular ingredient or dietary requirement checked before I buy for them. |
| Nutrition information | Compare products on the same basis, such as per 100g, then read the stated portion size if you want figures for one serving. Check the current pack if its recipe or portion size may have changed. | I want to know what the label’s figures represent when serving one biscuit or a whole portion pack. |
| Availability and storage | Check live stock before relying on a particular format. Follow the chosen pack’s storage instructions after opening; Tesco’s 400g listing specifies an airtight container. | My Christmas shopping needs to cover more than one occasion, so I need a pack I can obtain and store as directed. |
A single 400g packet does not provide the same separate packs as Tesco’s 5 × 150g format. Schär’s five portions, meanwhile, contain 125g altogether.
Read the net weight and inner-pack breakdown together. Choose staged packs for several occasions or small portions when individual allocation matters.
The reviewed standard products list wheat and milk, while some listings also carry cautions about other cereals or sesame. A familiar product name cannot establish suitability for a guest.
Check the ingredient and allergen statement on the exact current pack, particularly if a product has been substituted.
Schär’s five individually packed portions contain 125g in total; Tesco’s five larger packs contain 750g. The formats address different serving needs.
Work out the total quantity required for your occasions before choosing a pack primarily for its portioning or dietary labelling.
Tesco Groceries showed its 750g multipack out of stock on 1 October 2026. A suitable pack format is only useful for the shopping plan if it is available when needed.
Check the live listing before finalising the shop. If the 750g pack is unavailable, decide whether a shared packet or smaller portion packs meet the same serving need.
These examples show different pack formats and labels; a brand’s inclusion does not establish current availability.

No. The reviewed standard Tesco, ASDA, McVitie’s, Crawford’s and Sainsbury’s products list wheat and milk ingredients or allergen advice. Schär’s reviewed pack is labelled wheat-free and lactose-free, but check the current product label and cross-contact information for the person who will eat it.
