Who is this choice relevant to?

Stallholder looking for a familiar extra biscuit

You want to offer a chocolate spritz biscuit alongside Dutch doughnuts, with clear information about the type of chocolate, packaging and storage instructions. Check the number of biscuits if you plan to sell them individually.

Stallholder who wants the biscuits to stand out on display

You’re looking for a spritz biscuit whose chocolate decoration catches the eye at the counter. According to Albert Heijn, AH Choco Spritz Biscuits are packs of five butter spritz biscuits decorated with dark chocolate; check whether that pack size suits the way you sell them.

Stallholder who sells biscuits individually

You need to be able to tell customers about any allergens before they buy an individual biscuit. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority makes clear that, for non-prepacked food, this information must be available even when there is no label on the individual biscuit.

What should you consider when buying?

First decide whether the chocolate coating or the presentation of each biscuit is the priority for your stall. Then check the packaging and allergens, whether the exact variant is available, and the storage instructions.

What to consider What to check before buying Who should pay particular attention?
Allergens when selling individually Check the allergens on the packaging you buy and decide how customers can ask about them before making a purchase. If I sell biscuits individually, I want to be able to answer questions about allergens using the current packaging. This is a priority for around 36% of consumers buying supplies for a Dutch doughnut stall.
Chocolate and presentation Compare the product descriptions: is it a milk chocolate coating, dark chocolate decoration, or does it also contain chocolate pieces? I want customers to see straight away what kind of chocolate spritz biscuit I’m offering at my stall. For around 29% of these consumers, the chocolate presentation is the first thing they consider.
Packaging and availability Check the number of biscuits, the pack weight and whether the exact variant you’ve chosen is currently available. I need to plan how many individual biscuits I can sell and whether I can buy the same variant again. This is the main concern for around 21% of these consumers.
Storage and serving Read the storage advice and choose packaging that can be properly resealed once opened. If biscuits are on display at my stall, I want to stop damp and heat from affecting how they look. Around 14% of these consumers prioritise dry storage and easy serving.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming all chocolate spritz biscuits are the same

    A milk chocolate coating, dark chocolate decoration and extra chocolate pieces each create a different look. The name alone won’t tell you which variant you’re buying.

    Compare the description and ingredients on the packaging, including the type of chocolate listed.

  • Treating an old product page as confirmation of stock

    Albert Heijn and Jumbo list Verkade Nobo Double Chocolate Spritz Biscuits as discontinued. A product information page therefore doesn’t confirm that you can buy this variant.

    Check that the exact variant is currently available before adding it to your stall plans.

  • Relying only on the outer packaging when selling individually

    Customers buying an individual biscuit must be able to get information about any allergens. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority states that, for non-prepacked products, this information must be provided in a way other than a label on the product.

    Record the allergen information for the batch you buy and make it available to customers before they purchase.

  • Leaving an opened pack somewhere warm or damp

    The spritz biscuits reviewed are described as needing cool, dry storage. For the Verkade variant, PLUS also recommends keeping an opened pack sealed.

    Keep your stock dry and away from heat sources, and reseal opened packs.
