What Is a Lausanne Biscuit?
Lausanne is a wafer biscuit made by Jack 'n Jill, the snack brand of Universal Robina Corporation (URC), a food company from the Philippines [1]. Each pack holds crispy, golden wafer sheets layered with a smooth milk-flavored cream.
People search for it as "Lausanne biscuit", "Lausanne wafer" and "Jack and Jill wafers": they all mean the same snack. The barcode on our packs starts with 885, the GS1 prefix used for products registered in Thailand [2], where URC runs a large snack business [3].

Taste test
What Does Lausanne Taste Like?
Lightly sweet and milky, with a real crunch. It is less rich than a chocolate-coated wafer and lighter than a cream sandwich cookie, so it is easy to eat one with tea and not feel heavy.
Texture
Crisp and airy. It snaps cleanly.
Sweetness
Medium. Milk cream, not chocolate.
Best with
Hot tea, coffee, cold milk or Milo-style malt drinks.
Kids
A favorite lunchbox treat.
