Milk chocolate fans
You’re looking for a spritz biscuit with milk chocolate to enjoy at Sunday breakfast. Verkade lists wheat, milk and soya among the ingredients in Nobo Sprits Milk. If you have an allergy, it’s important to check the latest label.
Which spritz biscuits might suit you?
Shoppers with a specific product preference
You’re specifically looking for dark chocolate or a no-added-sugar option. Compare the full ingredients list, nutritional information and any warnings before relying on a single claim.
Shoppers comparing pack sizes
You’re adding spritz biscuits to the rest of your Sunday shop. The pack size and product descriptions can help you tell apart options from different shops.
What should you look for when choosing?
First, decide which feature matters most to you. Then check the rest of the information on the pack: choosing the right type of chocolate tells you nothing by itself about allergens or the full nutritional value.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Type of chocolate | Check whether the product specifies milk or dark chocolate. Compare any stated chocolate percentage only with the specific product it refers to. | For Sunday breakfast, I want to choose milk or dark chocolate deliberately, rather than relying on the word ‘choco’. For around 40% of consumers, the type of chocolate is the main factor in their choice. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients and allergen information on the latest pack, including any warnings about cross-contamination. | If I need to avoid certain ingredients, I need to be able to see what’s in these biscuits before eating them. For around 30% of consumers, this check comes first. |
| Pack size and cocoa claim | Check the weight in grams and assess any cocoa claim on the specific product, not the brand as a whole. | For my Sunday shop, I want to know how much is in a pack and what cocoa claim applies to that option. This is the first thing around 20% of consumers consider. |
| No added sugar | Check which sweeteners are used, what warnings apply and what the nutritional information says per 100 g and per serving. | I’m specifically looking for a spritz biscuit with no added sugar, but I also want to know which sweeteners and warnings apply. This preference matters most to around 10% of consumers. |
Common mistakes
-
Assuming all chocolate spritz biscuits are the same
Milk and dark chocolate are different product descriptions. Verkade lists 15% milk chocolate for Nobo Sprits Milk; Jumbo describes its 200 g spritz biscuits as a dark chocolate option.
Check the type of chocolate in both the product name and ingredients list, rather than relying on the image alone.
-
Treating ‘no added sugar’ as a complete product assessment
Jumbo’s product information describes Damhert Nutrition Sprits Dark Chocolate as a no-added-sugar option containing sweeteners. It also carries a warning that excessive consumption may have a laxative effect.
If this option appeals to you, check the nutritional information, serving size and usage warning too.
-
Trying to work out allergens from the product name
The name doesn’t tell you everything about the ingredients or possible cross-contamination. Verkade lists wheat, milk and soya among the ingredients in Nobo Sprits Milk.
If you have an allergy, check the latest packaging before eating the product, even if you already know its name.
