| Type of chocolate |
Check the type of chocolate and separately confirm which certification is listed for that variety. |

Frequently asked questions
Does Fairtrade cocoa mean that every ingredient in the spritz biscuit is Fairtrade?
No, the claim doesn’t automatically mean that every ingredient is Fairtrade. For products with several ingredients, Fairtrade Netherlands advises reading the information on the back of the packaging. The product information for Verkade Nobo Sprits milk chocolate also mentions mass balance for the Fairtrade cocoa.
How many packs of Verkade Nobo Sprits do I need?
Allow for nine biscuits or servings in a 150 g pack, as listed by Albert Heijn for Verkade Nobo Sprits milk chocolate. Work out how many biscuits you want to hand out in total, divide that number by nine and round up to the nearest whole pack.
Can I give these Verkade spritz biscuits to guests with allergies?
You can’t decide that without checking each guest’s needs. The product listing for Verkade Nobo Sprits milk chocolate names milk, wheat and soya; nuts and sesame may also be present. Check the current packaging before handing them out and provide a separate alternative if needed.
Is Rainforest Alliance cocoa the same as Fairtrade cocoa?
No, they’re different certifications: a Rainforest Alliance claim does not, by itself, confirm Fairtrade status. Albert Heijn lists Rainforest Alliance-certified cocoa in AH Choco spritsen. If Fairtrade cocoa is a must for you, check the claim on the specific packaging.
