Common mistakes

  • Assuming cocoa and icing are the same as a chocolate layer

    Jumbo describes Lunetta as a spritz biscuit with a coating, while Jumbo Spritz Biscuits with Dark Chocolate are specifically described as spritz biscuits with dark chocolate. These descriptions don’t refer to the same type of layer.

    Compare the product description and ingredients before treating the options as like-for-like alternatives.

  • Guessing allergens from the product name

    Jumbo’s product information lists milk, wheat and soya as allergens in Verkade NoboSprits Milk; it also states that the product may contain nuts and sesame.

    Read the current allergen information on the packaging before buying or serving the biscuits.

  • Treating a statement about sugar as the whole nutritional picture

    Damhert Nutrition Sprits Dark Chocolate product information lists sweeteners and warns that excessive consumption may have a laxative effect.

    Compare the ingredients, nutritional information and portion size too, and read the usage warning.
