Damhert lists 0.5 g of sugars per 100 g for both Zonder Suikers Sprits Naturel and Chocolate. Choose the plain variety if you don’t want chocolate and are also keeping an eye on other nutritional values: according to Damhert, it contains less energy, saturated fat and polyols per 100 g than Chocolate. If chocolate flavour is the deciding factor, check the allergens on the packaging for this variety just as you would for the plain one, and bear in mind the warning about excessive consumption of polyols.
You want to take some spritz biscuits with you and are choosing mainly by the sugar content per 100 g, not just by the wording on the front of the pack. Damhert lists 0.5 g of sugars per 100 g for both of the Zonder Suikers Sprits varieties reviewed.
You’re considering the chocolate variety but also want to know what else changes alongside the sugar content. According to Damhert’s product information, Chocolate contains more energy, saturated fat and polyols per 100 g than Naturel.
You’re bringing biscuits to share. The Damhert varieties reviewed list wheat, egg and milk, and may also contain traces of nuts and peanuts. Keep the packaging so others can check the ingredients for themselves.
When choosing spritz biscuits for a festival, first compare the sugar content of the exact variety, then read the ingredients and think about how you’ll carry and share the biscuits.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Sugar content | Compare the ‘of which sugars’ value per 100 g for the exact spritz variety, and read the full nutritional information too. | If I’m looking for spritz biscuits with as little sugar as possible, I want to compare the value on the label rather than rely on the product name; for around 42% of consumers, sugar content is the most important factor. |
| Polyols and allergens | Read the ingredients and allergen information on the current packaging, and look out for the warning about excessive consumption on products containing polyols. | When I share biscuits, I want to be able to show what ingredients they contain and whether they include polyols; for around 33% of consumers, ingredients and tolerance are the top priorities. |
| Taking them along and sharing | Check the portion size and keep the original packaging with the biscuits so the product information remains available. | For a festival, I want to be able to bring biscuits and judge the portions when sharing them; around 25% of consumers give this convenience the highest priority. |
According to Damhert, Naturel contains 0.5 g of sugars and 44 g of carbohydrates per 100 g; Chocolate contains 0.5 g of sugars and 45 g of carbohydrates per 100 g. So the sugar content doesn’t tell you the whole nutritional story.
Also compare carbohydrates, energy, polyols and saturated fat per 100 g on the packaging. Use the portion information if you want to know what one biscuit represents.
The Damhert spritz biscuits reviewed contain maltitol. The product information warns that excessive consumption may have a laxative effect.
Read the warning before taking the biscuits along to share, and keep the packaging with them.
The varieties reviewed contain wheat, egg and milk, and according to the product information may also contain traces of nuts and peanuts, among other things. If the packaging isn’t there, someone could miss this information when choosing from a serving plate.

The Zonder Suikers Sprits Naturel 130 g and Chocolate 120 g varieties reviewed are two spritz biscuits you can compare by their ingredients and nutritional content.
Nobo Sprits Original is a standard spritz biscuit you can compare with the lower-sugar varieties.
Céréal Chocolate Chip Cookie without sugar is an alternative biscuit if you don’t need the shape of a spritz biscuit.
No, the sugar content alone doesn’t tell you that. For every 100 g, Damhert lists 0.5 g of sugars and 44 g of carbohydrates for Naturel, and 0.5 g of sugars and 45 g of carbohydrates for Chocolate. Check both values on the packaging if you want to compare them.
According to Voedingscentrum, ‘low sugar’ can be used for solid products containing no more than 5 g of sugars per 100 g. Also check the nutritional information for the specific spritz biscuit: it shows carbohydrates, fats and the value per portion too.
Keep the product information available with the biscuits if you take them out of the packaging. The Damhert varieties reviewed contain wheat, egg and milk, and may also contain traces of nuts and peanuts, among other things; check the label on the pack you’re actually sharing.
It’s best to take them along dry in the sealed original packaging, so the biscuits and their product information stay together. Damhert says to store the varieties reviewed at room temperature; check the instructions on your own packaging.
Before ordering, compare the full product name and pack size: Damhert Zonder Suikers Sprits Naturel 130 g or Chocolate 120 g. Also check the chosen seller’s current availability and product information rather than relying on a listing for a different variety.
