If Fairtrade cocoa is a must, Verkade Nobo Sprits milk chocolate has the clearest product-specific claim: Albert Heijn calls it Fairtrade milk chocolate, while Jumbo says that mass balance is used for the Fairtrade cocoa. PLUS includes Fairtrade in the product title, but its ingredients information describes the cocoa as Rainforest Alliance certified. So check the current packaging before choosing these spritz biscuits for a Fairtrade party treat. Also ask about allergies and work out how many biscuits you’ll need.
You want to be able to verify the claim for the chocolate spritz biscuits you choose, rather than relying on a retailer’s general promise. Albert Heijn and Jumbo provide product-specific information about Verkade Nobo Sprits milk chocolate; at PLUS, the product title conflicts with the cocoa information in the ingredients list.
You’re handing out biscuits to several children and want to know in advance whether anyone needs an alternative. Voedingscentrum advises asking about allergies and dietary requirements when choosing party treats. You should also check the label on the packaging you’ll actually be handing out.

Fairtrade appears in the product title for PLUS Chocolate Spritz biscuits, but PLUS describes the cocoa mass and cocoa butter in the ingredients information as Rainforest Alliance certified. The title alone therefore doesn’t make the Fairtrade status of these biscuits clear.
Check the current packaging and see which certification applies to the cocoa before choosing the product as a Fairtrade party treat.
According to the available product information, Verkade Nobo Sprits milk chocolate contains wheat, milk and soya, among other ingredients. Warnings about nuts and sesame are also relevant. Its size doesn’t change the need to check for allergens.
Ask about allergies and dietary requirements in advance, read the current label and provide a separate alternative where needed.

Count the guests and check how many biscuits are in the pack you’ve chosen before deciding how many to buy.
Your child’s school or after-school club may have rules about what children are allowed to hand out. The biscuits you’ve chosen might not meet those requirements.
Check in advance which treats are allowed and, if necessary, choose an alternative that meets the rules.
