Want to enjoy crispbread with Fairtrade chocolate sprinkles in a hurry? Check the current packaging to see exactly what the Fairtrade mark applies to. Fairtrade Original Chocoladehagelslag Puur 380 g is one specific product to consider. Also check the allergens in both products and how much chocolate sprinkles you use, as the mark says nothing about nutritional value.
You want to know whether the cocoa or the whole product is covered by the Fairtrade claim. According to Milieu Centraal’s quality mark guide, a Fairtrade logo on a white background may refer only to a certified ingredient.
You want to top your crispbread quickly, while also being able to assess its fibre content and how much chocolate sprinkles you use. To do this, compare the nutritional information on the products you actually buy.
You need information about cereals containing gluten, egg or possible traces of milk. Check both the crispbread and the chocolate sprinkles: Bolletje Echte Beschuit lists wheat, rye and egg, while Fairtrade Original Hagelslag Puur states that it may contain milk.
Start with the requirement that matters most to you when choosing crispbread with chocolate sprinkles. Then check the packaging of the other part of your breakfast too.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this most important to? |
|---|---|---|
| Fairtrade status | Look for the Fairtrade logo and check whether the claim applies to the product or just one ingredient. Milieu Centraal highlights this distinction for a logo on a white background. | If fair trade for cocoa is my first requirement, I don’t want to rely on the brand name alone. For around 36% of these consumers, a verifiable Fairtrade claim comes first. |
| A quick crispbread base | Choose a type of crispbread that suits your preferences and, if fibre matters to you, compare the nutritional information per 100 g. | I want to be able to grab something quickly in the morning without choosing my crispbread on autopilot. For around 29% of consumers, this combination of convenience and paying attention to the base comes first. |
| How much chocolate sprinkles you use | Compare sugars and saturated fat per 100 g, and think about how much you sprinkle on each crispbread. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises not eating chocolate sprinkles too often or in large amounts. | What matters most to me is how much sweet topping ends up on my crispbread. That’s why around 21% of consumers focus on the amount of chocolate sprinkles they use. |
| Allergens | Read the current allergen information on both packs, including any warnings about traces. | If I need to take cereals containing gluten, egg or milk into account, I have to assess both products separately. For around 14% of consumers, checking the labels is the top priority. |

Baker’s salt is iodised salt, but the product name ‘crispbread’ does not tell you whether it has been used. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre points out that using baker’s salt in bread is not compulsory.
Check the ingredients list for the specific crispbread before relying on it containing baker’s salt.
Bolletje Echte Beschuit lists wheat, rye and egg; Fairtrade Original Hagelslag Puur states that it may contain milk. So each product needs to be checked separately.

No. First check whether baker’s salt is listed in the ingredients for that crispbread. Baker’s salt is iodised salt, but the name ‘crispbread’ does not confirm that it has been used in a specific product.
Check the current ingredients and allergen information for both the crispbread and the chocolate sprinkles. Bolletje Echte Beschuit lists wheat, rye and egg, while Fairtrade Original Hagelslag Puur states that it may contain milk. Don’t assume the same applies to other products.
