Choose a chocolate-coated cracker for your morning snack based on the portion you want to eat, then compare the nutritional information per 100 g and check the allergens. Albert Heijn lists four 40 g portions for AH Havercracker chocolade; De Notenshop sells Crispy crackers met chocolade as four 30 g crackers. So a smaller cracker isn’t automatically the better choice: the stated amounts of sugars and saturated fat also differ.
You want a cracker with a chocolate coating that’s ready to eat. Albert Heijn lists 40 g portions for its AH Havercracker chocolade; De Notenshop lists 30 g per Crispy cracker met chocolade. Consider which size suits the snack occasion you have in mind.
You’re looking beyond the chocolate coating to sugars, saturated fat, fibre and how much you’ll eat. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends comparing products per 100 g, so different portion sizes don’t skew the comparison.
If you have an allergy or a specific dietary requirement, always check the current packaging. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says that allergen information must appear on the label of pre-packed foods; also read any statements about possible traces.

Consider: De Notenshop lists 10.9 g of sugars and 14.4 g of saturated fat per 100 g, and warns that the crackers are fragile.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|

| Nutritional value and portion size | Compare sugars, saturated fat and fibre per 100 g, then consider the portion you’ll have. | If I’m having this as a regular snack, I want to know how the nutritional value of my portion compares with that of another cracker. For around 36% of consumers, this comparison is a key consideration. |
| Allergens and ingredients | Read the current ingredients list, check for allergens and look for statements about possible traces on the packaging. | If I need to avoid certain ingredients, I don’t want to rely on a vegan label or product name. This check is the top priority for around 18% of consumers. |
According to Albert Heijn, a portion of AH Havercracker chocolade is 40 g; according to De Notenshop, a Crispy cracker met chocolade weighs 30 g. This means the nutritional values per cracker aren’t directly comparable.
First compare the nutritional information per 100 g, then decide how much you want to eat as a snack.
Albert Heijn labels its AH Havercracker chocolade as vegan, but also lists allergens and possible traces. The label doesn’t mean the product is suitable for anyone with an allergy.
Before eating, check the current ingredients and allergen information on the packaging.
A statement on the front of the pack doesn’t show how the sugars, saturated fat and fibre compare with one another. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends checking the nutrition table when comparing products.
Read the values per 100 g alongside the ingredients list, rather than judging the product by a single claim.
De Notenshop warns that its Crispy crackers met chocolade are fragile. This can be inconvenient if you want to take a whole cracker with you.
Keep them in their packaging or use a sturdy storage container.
