If you have an allergy, intolerance or other dietary requirement, the current label on the pack is the deciding factor.

Want to store the pack during your journey and reseal it after opening? The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises keeping chocolate spritz biscuits cool, dry, dark and well sealed.
First choose the type of chocolate you want, then check the label and consider how you’ll store the pack while travelling. A label such as own-brand or Fairtrade doesn’t, by itself, tell you what type of chocolate is on the biscuit.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Type of chocolate | Check the pack for milk or dark chocolate; don’t rely on the product photo alone to identify the type. | If I specifically want milk or dark chocolate, I don’t want to discover on the road that I’ve brought the other variety. This preference is the deciding factor for around 40% of shoppers. |
| Storage while travelling | Check the pack size and make sure you can reseal the biscuits after opening. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises storing them somewhere cool, dry and dark. | On a journey with several snack breaks, I want to avoid leaving an opened pack unprotected in the car. Around 30% of shoppers prioritise storage during transport. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients and allergen information on the current pack; compare nutritional information per 100 g if nutrition values are relevant to your choice. | If I need to avoid certain ingredients, I can’t rely on the name of the chocolate variety alone. Checking the label is a priority for around 20% of shoppers. |
| Retailer and labels | Check the exact variety: PLUS labels its chocolate spritz biscuits as Fairtrade, while ALDI lists both plain and chocolate varieties under Biscotto. | If I’m shopping at a particular retailer or looking for a Fairtrade label, I want to be sure I’ve picked up the right pack. For around 10% of shoppers, this is the most important factor. |

The Fairtrade label on PLUS products and the chocolate option from Biscotto don’t, by themselves, tell you the exact type of chocolate, allergens or nutritional value of the variety you’ve chosen.
Use the retailer and label to narrow down your options, then check the rest of the product information on the pack.
