Who is this choice relevant to?

Shoppers who want to check the Fairtrade claim

You’re looking for spritz biscuits to serve with coffee and want to find the Fairtrade cocoa claim on the variety you choose. Albert Heijn lists this claim for Verkade Nobo Sprits milk chocolate.

Hotel planners who need to assess allergens

You’re serving biscuits to a range of guests and need to check which allergens are listed on the packaging. For the milk chocolate variety, pay particular attention to milk, wheat and soya, as well as warnings about nuts and sesame.

Shoppers who want to provide a biscuit in each room

You want to know whether the quantity and packaging format suit the way you plan to serve the biscuits. Albert Heijn lists around nine portions in the 150 g pack. If you need a sealed portion for each room, check whether the biscuits are individually wrapped.

What should you look for when choosing?

Start by checking the Fairtrade claim on the exact spritz biscuit variety, then assess the allergens and how you plan to serve the biscuits in each room. A plain variety without cocoa won’t carry a product claim for Fairtrade cocoa.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Fairtrade cocoa Look for the claim on the exact chocolate variety and its current packaging. If separate processing is required, ask about physical traceability. If I set Fairtrade cocoa as a purchasing requirement, I want to see that claim on the exact spritz biscuits I’ve chosen. Around 46% of consumers put this check first.
Allergens Read the ingredients and allergen warnings on the packaging you receive, including those for milk, wheat and soya, and possible traces of nuts or sesame. When serving coffee to different guests, I want to assess which allergens are relevant before offering the biscuits. For around 36% of consumers, this assessment is the top priority.
Portions and serving Compare the 150 g pack and its approximately nine portions with your serving plan; check whether the biscuits are individually wrapped and follow the storage instructions. If each hotel room needs a sealed biscuit, the packaging format is the deciding factor for me. This practical need comes first for around 18% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming all Verkade spritz biscuits contain Fairtrade cocoa

    Albert Heijn lists Fairtrade milk chocolate for Nobo Sprits milk chocolate. The ingredients list for Nobo Sprits Original on Verkade’s product page does not mention chocolate.

    Check the Fairtrade claim on the flavour and packaging you’re actually ordering, rather than relying on the brand name.

  • Confusing Fairtrade with physically separate cocoa

    Fairtrade International explains that, under mass balance, Fairtrade and non-Fairtrade cocoa may be mixed during processing, while the volumes are tracked through the supply chain.

    If physical separation is a purchasing requirement, ask about the traceability of the relevant batch and read the information on the packaging.

  • Planning a multipack as an in-room snack

    Albert Heijn lists Nobo Sprits milk chocolate in a 150 g pack with around nine portions. This doesn’t tell you whether each biscuit is individually wrapped.

    Check the physical packaging before promising a sealed biscuit in every room. If serving biscuits from an opened pack, also plan for storage and make allergen information available.

  • Assuming a product listing means it’s available to order

    A product page may remain online even when a variety is no longer part of the online range or is temporarily unavailable to order.

    Check that your chosen variety is available to order when you’re stocking the hotel rooms, and inspect the packaging you receive.
