Which option suits you?

Breakfast on the go

Want to take a spritz biscuit with you without carrying an opened pack? Check whether the product is explicitly described as individually or portion wrapped. Simply stating the number of biscuits isn’t enough.

Sharing a pack at home

If you use a pack for several breakfasts, check the storage advice for your chosen spritz biscuits. Albert Heijn advises sealing the pack after opening for Verkade Nobo Sprits Naturel.

Checking the label

Ingredients and allergens can vary between varieties. Always read the label on the pack you’re buying, even if you’ve previously chosen a different spritz biscuit from the same brand.

What should you look for when buying?

First decide whether you specifically want spritz biscuits or simply an individually wrapped biscuit to take with you. ALDI, for example, lists chocolate biscuits wrapped in pairs, but these aren’t spritz biscuits.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Portion packaging Look for an explicit statement that the biscuits are individually or portion wrapped; don’t assume this from the number of biscuits. If I take spritz biscuits with me, I want to know whether they’re individually wrapped. Confirmed portion packaging is the most important factor for around 36% of consumers.
Ingredients and allergens Read the ingredients, allergen information and any warnings on the current label for the variety you’ve chosen. If the ingredients are decisive when I’m buying, I want to be able to check the right pack. Around 29% of consumers put checking the label first.
Variety and pack size Compare the flavour variety and pack weight; don’t assume plain and chocolate varieties have the same ingredients. For breakfast, I’d rather choose based on flavour and how much I’ll use. This is the main consideration for around 21% of consumers.
Packaging materials Check which packaging components are included and follow the disposal instructions on the pack and from your local council. If I want to separate the packaging components, I check the materials around the biscuits. This gets the most attention from around 14% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming the number of biscuits means they’re individually wrapped

    A pack containing twelve biscuits may still have just one shared wrapper. The number of biscuits doesn’t tell you whether they have individual wrappers.

    Check whether the pack or product description explicitly says they’re individually or portion wrapped.

  • Treating online ingredient information as definitive

    A variety or pack may change, so older product information might not match the pack you’re buying.

    Read the ingredients and allergen information on the current label, even if you’ve bought the product before.

  • Leaving an opened pack unsealed

    If you’re sharing spritz biscuits over several breakfasts, remember to follow the storage instructions after opening.

    Follow the label for your chosen variety. For Verkade Nobo Sprits Naturel, Albert Heijn advises keeping the pack sealed after opening.

  • Throwing all the packaging components away together

    Film and a cardboard insert may have different disposal instructions, as Jumbo states for one Verkade spritz biscuit variety.

    Check the instructions for each component and follow your local council’s recycling guidance.

Brands to consider

Verkade

Verkade sells Nobo Sprits in several varieties, including Original.

  • Verkade publishes ingredients and nutritional information for Nobo Sprits Original.
  • Check the pack format of the variety you want to buy separately; product details for Original don’t confirm that each biscuit has its own wrapper.

Biscotto

ALDI lists a 175 g pack of 12 butter spritz biscuits under the Biscotto brand.

  • The number of biscuits and the total weight are stated.
  • Twelve biscuits doesn’t mean each one is individually wrapped; check the pack to be sure.

PLUS

PLUS offers its own-brand spritz biscuits and other spritz varieties.

  • The product listing for PLUS Spritsen specifies a 175 g pack.
  • Check the pack format of the variety you choose; the product name alone doesn’t tell you whether each spritz biscuit is individually wrapped.

Sondey

Sondey is a biscuit brand sold by Lidl, which also stocks butter spritz biscuits.

  • Lidl has a specific product listing for butter spritz biscuits.
  • Check the current packaging if individual wrappers are important to you.

Frequently asked questions

How should I store an opened pack of spritz biscuits?

Seal the pack after opening and follow the storage instructions on the label. For Verkade Nobo Sprits Naturel, Albert Heijn advises storing the biscuits in a cool, dry place; check the instructions on the pack for other varieties.

Where can I find allergen information for spritz biscuits?

Check the label on the pre-packed product. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority states that allergens must be clearly listed there; always check the pack and variety you’re buying.

How should I dispose of film and other biscuit packaging?

It depends on the material and local collection arrangements. Verpact includes empty household plastic packaging in PMD recycling; also check the disposal instructions on the pack and those provided by your local council. A cardboard insert may need to be disposed of differently from film.
