Who is this choice for?

If you just want one festive biscuit

If you’re not going to eat the whole pack at once, the pack weight, number of biscuits and storage instructions after opening all matter.

If you’re looking for a distinctive flavour

For a little Christmas treat, you can choose between plain, butter, milk chocolate and dark chocolate.

If you need to check for allergens

Compare the ingredients and allergens for each specific variety. The spritz biscuits described here list ingredients including wheat and milk; some chocolate varieties also list soya.

What should you look for when choosing?

If you need to avoid an allergen, start by checking the label of the exact variety. Then compare the flavour and how many biscuits you’d like to keep for later after your festive treat.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters to
Quantity and storage Check the pack weight, number of pieces or portions, and storage instructions after opening. A stated number of portions doesn’t confirm that the biscuits are individually wrapped. If I just want one festive biscuit, I want to know how many will be left and how to seal the pack. For around 40% of consumers, a manageable quantity would be the main consideration.
Flavour Check whether you’re choosing plain, butter, milk chocolate or dark chocolate; these descriptions don’t mean the same ingredients are used. With my coffee or tea, I’m mainly looking for a flavour that suits the occasion. Around 30% of consumers would put flavour first when choosing.
Allergens Check the current pack for both the ingredients and any listed allergens or possible traces. If I need to avoid a particular ingredient, the exact variety must be suitable. For a further 30% or so of consumers, checking allergens would come first.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a pack of several biscuits contains individually wrapped portions

    The number of pieces or portions on the pack doesn’t tell you whether they’re individually wrapped. This matters if you want to take one biscuit with you or share it with someone.

    Look specifically for a statement about individual wrapping on the packaging or product image.

  • Focusing only on the flavour of a chocolate spritz biscuit

    The Verkade milk chocolate variety described here also lists soya. Jumbo Spritsen met Pure Chocolade lists ingredients including milk, egg, wheat and soya, so dark chocolate doesn’t automatically make the biscuit suitable if you avoid milk.

    Check the allergen list for the exact flavour you’re buying.

  • Relying on an old online description instead of the label

    Ingredients and allergen information can change. If you have an allergy or intolerance, the information on the actual pack is what matters.

    Read the current label before buying and eating the biscuits, including any warnings about traces.

No, a stated number of portions or pieces doesn’t confirm that the biscuits are individually wrapped. The products described come in packs containing several biscuits; check the packaging if you need individual wrappers.

Which allergens should I check for in spritz biscuits?

Always check the allergen list for the exact variety. The products described contain wheat and milk, while some chocolate varieties also list soya or egg. Check the current pack for any warnings about traces too.

How should I store an opened pack of spritz biscuits?

Follow the instructions on the pack and seal it again after opening. For Verkade Nobo Sprits Naturel, Jumbo recommends storing the biscuits in a cool, dry place.

Can I choose Jumbo Spritsen met Pure Chocolade if I avoid milk?
