Choose spritz biscuits with milk chocolate if that’s the preferred flavour, or a dark chocolate option if that’s what your team asks for. A no-added-sugar option is suitable only if someone has specifically requested it; check the sweeteners and the warning on the packaging too. For a sharing platter, the allergens and number of portions matter just as much as the type of chocolate.
Wants to know how many people a pack will serve. Albert Heijn lists around 9 portions for Verkade Nobo Sprits Milk, 150 g; Jumbo lists 15 portions for its dark chocolate spritz biscuits, 200 g. The stated portion sizes differ, so compare more than just the pack weights.
Needs to check which ingredients colleagues must avoid before sharing a platter. The options reviewed list ingredients including wheat, milk, soya or egg; also check the packaging you choose for any warnings about possible traces.
Is looking specifically for milk chocolate, dark chocolate or a no-added-sugar option. Look beyond the product name: the ingredients, sweeteners, nutritional information and portion size could all affect your choice.
For a shared office treat, first check whether everyone can eat the spritz biscuits you’ve chosen. Then choose a chocolate flavour and a pack with a suitable number of portions. Compare the nutritional information too if sugars or sweeteners are a consideration for your team.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Allergens | Read the ingredients and any warnings about possible traces on the packaging you receive. | If colleagues need to avoid certain allergens, I don’t want to rely on the type of chocolate alone. For around 40% of consumers, checking allergens may be the top priority. |
| Chocolate flavour | Choose between milk chocolate and dark chocolate, and check the ingredients for the exact option. | For a treat that suits the team’s taste preferences, I want to know which chocolate is on the spritz biscuits. This preference may come first for around 30% of consumers. |
| Portions and packaging | Compare the net weight with the stated number of portions and read the storage instructions. | For a meeting, I want to put out enough biscuits without having lots left over once the pack is open. Around 20% of consumers may therefore consider the number of portions the main concern. |
| Sugars and sweeteners | Compare sugars per 100 g and per portion; for a no-added-sugar option, also check which sweeteners and warnings are listed. | If the team specifically asks for less sugar, I also want to know what’s in the spritz biscuits instead. For around 10% of consumers, this could be the deciding factor. |
According to Albert Heijn’s product information, Verkade Nobo Sprits Milk contains milk, soya and wheat; nuts and sesame are listed as possible traces. For its dark chocolate spritz biscuits, Jumbo lists ingredients including egg, wheat, milk and soya.
Ask in advance which allergens need to be avoided. Keep the packaging with its readable label next to the platter and, if needed, provide a suitable alternative separately.
The dark chocolate spritz biscuits described by Jumbo also contain milk and soya. So the word ‘dark’ describes the chocolate, not whether the whole biscuit is suitable for someone avoiding those ingredients.
Use the type of chocolate as a flavour guide, and check allergens against the ingredients on the specific pack.
Jumbo lists sweeteners and 29 g of polyols per 100 g for Damhert Nutrition Sprits Dark Chocolate. The product information warns that excessive consumption may have a laxative effect.
Choose this option only if it meets your team’s needs, and take the warning and portion size into account.

Check that the exact option is available just before ordering. If you choose an alternative, check its ingredients and allergens again.
