If you want to serve spritz biscuits with coffee and choose a product with verifiable Fairtrade cocoa, Verkade Nobo Sprits Milk Chocolate is a suitable option. Albert Heijn lists Fairtrade milk chocolate, while PLUS explains that Fairtrade sourcing is matched through mass balance. Check the current packaging for allergens before serving. A Rainforest Alliance claim on another spritz biscuit does not confirm Fairtrade status.
You’re looking for spritz biscuits with an explicit cocoa claim on the product. Fairtrade Netherlands explains that the Fairtrade mark can also be used for sourcing through mass balance. This is different from physically separating all the cocoa in the finished product.
You want to know before buying whether the ingredients and allergens are suitable for everyone at the table. For Verkade Nobo Sprits Milk Chocolate, pay particular attention to milk, lactose, wheat, gluten and soya, as well as warnings about the possible presence of nuts or sesame.
You don’t want to confuse a Fairtrade claim with a Rainforest Alliance claim. This distinction matters when comparing the chocolate spritz biscuits from PLUS and Albert Heijn, whose product information mentions Rainforest Alliance cocoa.
When sharing biscuits, first ask about any relevant allergies or intolerances. Then compare the cocoa claim, the type of chocolate and how much you’d like to serve.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Fairtrade cocoa | Read the cocoa claim on the packaging, including any reference to mass balance.

For around 50% of consumers, Fairtrade cocoa would be their top priority when buying. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Check the current ingredients list and allergen information, including any warnings about possible cross-contamination. | When I offer spritz biscuits to guests, I need to know whether anyone has to avoid an ingredient or allergen. For around 30% of consumers, allergens would therefore be their first consideration. |
| Quantity and storage | Compare the pack weight with how much you want to serve and read the storage instructions. According to Albert Heijn and PLUS, Verkade Nobo Sprits Milk Chocolate comes in a 150 g pack. | I want to put out enough biscuits without leaving an opened pack for too long. For around 20% of consumers, the quantity needed would be their top priority when buying. |
