Choose Elvee Chocolade spritsen minder suiker if you fancy a chocolate spritz biscuit for your afternoon snack and can confirm it’s available at your local PLUS. The product description says the milk and dark chocolate contains 30% less sugar, but PLUS also lists 28 g of sugars and 22 g of saturated fat per 100 g. The product contains milk and soya. If a biscuit without sugars matters more to you than the spritz shape, Céréal Chocolate chip cookie is another option, but bear the polyols, allergens and warning about excessive consumption in mind.
