Common mistakes

  • Assuming dark chocolate contains no milk

    According to Jumbo, Jumbo Spritsen met Pure Chocolade also lists milk, egg, soya and wheat as allergens. So the type of chocolate alone doesn’t tell you everything about what’s in the product.

    Check the ingredients and allergens on the pack of the variety you’re actually buying.

  • Choosing a large pack without thinking about leftovers

    A pack with several portions is most practical if you can store the biscuits properly after sharing them. Jumbo lists 15 portions for its pack of dark chocolate spritz biscuits.

    Compare the pack weight and number of portions with how much you want to share, and follow the storage instructions on the pack once it’s open.

  • Assuming a variety with sweeteners will automatically suit you

    Jumbo’s product information for Damhert Nutrition Sprits Pure Chocolade lists sweeteners and 29 g of polyols per 100 g, with a warning that excessive consumption may have a laxative effect.

    Check the full nutritional information and the warning on the pack before choosing this variety.

If you have an allergy, check the warning on the exact pack you’re planning to buy. Voedingscentrum distinguishes this cross-contamination information from the ingredients list.
