You need to be able to decide whether a particular spritz biscuit suits your dietary requirements. Check the ingredients, allergen information and any warnings about possible traces on the current packaging.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, check whether the mini size you want is available. If not, compare the portion size and pack size of standard spritz biscuits. Always check ingredients and allergens for each product.

Ingredients and allergens Read the ingredients list, allergen information and any warnings about possible traces that are relevant to you on the current packaging.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a mini version is still available

    Jumbo says Sprits Staafjes Mini 125 g is no longer part of its online range. So the product name alone doesn’t confirm that you can order it.

    Check the product’s current availability before you shop. If the mini version isn’t available, compare standard spritz biscuits with a clearly stated portion size.

  • Mistaking a stated portion for individually wrapped biscuits

    Albert Heijn lists around 16.8 g per portion for Verkade Nobo Sprits Naturel and 20 g for the AH products reviewed. These portion sizes don’t mean the biscuits are individually wrapped.

    Check how the biscuits are packed and decide how many you’d like with your coffee. Reseal the rest according to the storage advice.

  • Assuming all spritz biscuits are the same if you have an allergy

    Recipes vary: the standard PLUS roomboterspritsen reviewed contain wheat, egg and milk, while PLUS says its advocaat-spritsen also contain soya.

    Check the ingredients list, allergen information and any relevant warnings about traces for each version. Don’t rely on the brand name or a previous purchase alone.

  • Relying only on an online product description

    Ingredients and other product information can change, so a description you read earlier may not match the packaging you buy.

    Check the ingredients, allergens and best-before date on the current packaging.

Frequently asked questions

Are mini spritz biscuits automatically easier to portion?

No, a mini size doesn’t determine how many biscuits you have with your coffee. Check how they’re packaged and what portion size is stated on the label, too. Jumbo also says its Sprits Staafjes Mini 125 g is no longer part of its online range.

Which allergens should I check in spritz biscuits?

At the very least, check the ingredients and allergens for the specific version: the spritz biscuits reviewed list wheat and milk, while some versions also contain egg or soya, or may contain traces of ingredients such as nuts and sesame. Read the current packaging before choosing a product.

Are allergens listed on the packaging?

Yes. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, 14 allergens must be listed on the label. Check the allergen information on the packaging of the spritz biscuits you want to buy, including warnings about possible traces if these are relevant to you.

How should I store spritz biscuits after opening?

Follow the storage advice on the packaging and reseal an opened pack. The product information reviewed for Verkade and AH spritz biscuits advises storing them in a cool, dry place and keeping the pack sealed after opening.
