Who is a spritz biscuit with coffee on the go practical for?

Commuters who want a biscuit with their coffee

They want to take a small portion with them without putting an opened packet in their bag. Albert Heijn lists several portions per pack for Verkade Nobo Sprits Original, so a resealable container may be more practical for taking a single biscuit.

Coffee drinkers who choose by flavour

They’re deciding between a classic spritz biscuit, a butter spritz biscuit and a milk chocolate variant. Compare the exact variant, as ingredients and nutritional values can differ.

Shoppers who read labels carefully

They want to know which ingredients and allergens are in their chosen spritz biscuit before buying. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority states that allergen information must appear on the label of prepacked products.

What should you look for in a spritz biscuit for on the go?

First decide whether you can pack a biscuit yourself or need an individual wrapper. Then choose a flavour and compare the label for the specific variant.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Taking one portion with you Check whether each biscuit has its own wrapper. If not, look at the number of biscuits or portions and the storage instructions after opening. If I want one biscuit with my coffee on the go, I don’t want to travel with an opened packet. For around 50% of consumers, a portion that’s easy to take with them matters most.
Flavour with coffee Compare classic, butter and milk chocolate options using the ingredients list. Compare nutritional values per portion too if the biscuits differ in size. With my coffee, I’d rather choose the flavour I actually want to eat than pick a spritz biscuit at random. Around 30% of consumers put flavour first.
Ingredients and nutritional information Check the current packaging for allergens and warnings about possible traces. If you eat them regularly, look at the nutritional values per portion and per 100 g. If ingredients or allergens are decisive for me, I check the label for the exact variant. This is the top priority for around 20% of consumers.

Common mistakes when choosing a spritz biscuit for on the go

  • Assuming a multi-biscuit packet contains individually wrapped portions

    The number of portions on the packaging doesn’t tell you whether each biscuit is individually wrapped. Albert Heijn lists nine portions for Verkade Nobo Sprits Original and ten biscuits for AH Spritsen.

    Check whether individual wrappers are explicitly mentioned on the packaging. If not, take a single biscuit in a resealable container, if that works for your journey.

  • Assuming all spritz biscuit variants use the same recipe

    A milk chocolate variant and a butter spritz biscuit may contain different ingredients and allergens from a classic spritz biscuit. Verkade says Nobo Sprits Melk also contains soya, while PLUS lists egg in its Spritsen.

    Read the ingredients and allergen information for the exact variant you’re buying, not just the brand name.

  • Choosing a daily snack based on its flavour name alone

    A spritz biscuit’s name doesn’t tell you how much sugar, fat or fibre a portion contains. Verkade lists 4,0 g of sugars per biscuit for Nobo Sprits Original.

    If you’re weighing up different snacks, compare the nutritional information per portion and per 100 g, as well as the ingredients.

Brands and product ranges to help you choose

  • The product information lists ten biscuits in a 200 g pack of AH Spritsen, and 400 g with twenty portions for AH Roomboter ronde spritsen.

Seal an opened packet securely and follow the storage instructions on the packaging. Albert Heijn advises sealing the packaging securely after use in its product information for spritz biscuits. A resealable container can be handy for taking one biscuit with you.
