Wants a spritz biscuit with a familiar chocolate topping that can be carried in a bag without getting damp. The type of chocolate and the packaging help determine which option is right for a coffee break.

Shopper who checks the label

Shopper comparing pack sizes

Looks at the pack weight and the difference between milk chocolate, dark chocolate and coating. Jumbo and PLUS describe 200 g versions, but their product descriptions are not all the same.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide which type of topping you want, then consider how you’ll carry the biscuits, the label information and the pack size.

What to consider What to check before buying Who is this important to?
Type of chocolate topping Check whether the product says milk chocolate, dark chocolate or a cocoa and glaze coating. Only compare a stated percentage with the same product variant. When I’m having coffee, I want to know whether I’m choosing a spritz biscuit with milk chocolate, dark chocolate or glaze. This distinction comes first for around 31% of consumers.
Taking them with you Check the storage instructions and carry the biscuits somewhere dry in a well-sealed container. On my commute, I want to stop the biscuits getting damp or crumbling. Taking care to pack them properly is the top priority for around 31% of consumers.
Ingredients and allergens Read the latest ingredients list and allergen information for the exact variant you’re buying. If I need to avoid certain ingredients, I want to be able to check the label before my coffee break. This check matters most to around 23% of consumers.
Pack size Compare the weight with how much you want to take with you, and think about how you’ll keep the rest dry. I won’t eat the whole pack on the go, so I want to know how much I’ll have left for later. The right pack size is the deciding factor for around 15% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming every brown topping is chocolate

    Verkade lists 15% milk chocolate for Nobo Milk Spritz Biscuits, while Jumbo lists a 10% coating for Lunetta Cocoa and Glaze Spritz Biscuits. So a general mention of cocoa is not the same as a precise description of the topping.

    Read the product description and ingredients before deciding which option suits your taste.

  • Relying on a label you checked previously

    The allergen information on the variant you’re buying now is what matters. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, allergens must be clearly listed on the labels of prepacked foods.

    Check the current packaging every time you buy, especially if you need to avoid certain ingredients.

  • Putting an open pack loose in your bag

    Jumbo recommends storing its dark chocolate spritz biscuits in a cool, dry place and says that Lunetta Cocoa and Glaze Spritz Biscuits should be kept somewhere dry after opening.

    Take a small portion with you in a dry, sturdy, well-sealed container and store the rest according to the label.
