If Fairtrade cocoa is your top priority, you could consider Verkade Nobo Sprits Melk 150 g: Albert Heijn lists Fairtrade milk chocolate for this variant. That cocoa claim doesn’t mean the biscuits are organic too. If you want both, check the current packaging for the organic label and Fairtrade claim separately, and read the ingredients and allergen information too.
For you, both claims need to apply to the same spritz biscuits. According to the European Commission, the EU organic logo indicates that a product is certified organic; the Netherlands Nutrition Centre stresses that organic certification doesn’t automatically say anything about fair trade. So check each claim separately.
You’re looking for spritz biscuits with a clear claim about the cocoa, even if organic certification isn’t essential.

The ingredients and allergens determine whether a spritz biscuit is suitable for you, regardless of its sustainability claims. Albert Heijn’s product information for Verkade Nobo Sprits Melk 150 g lists milk, wheat and soya, and warns that it may contain nuts and sesame. Check the current packaging before buying.
When choosing spritz biscuits as part of your organic shop, first decide whether you want both organic and Fairtrade certification, or are mainly looking for Fairtrade cocoa. Then check the ingredients and allergens on the packaging.

|---|---|---|
| Organic and Fairtrade | Look for the EU organic logo and its accompanying label details on the same packaging, as well as a separate Fairtrade claim. | I want spritz biscuits that demonstrably meet both requirements, not a product with just one of the two claims. This combination matters most to around 42% of consumers. |
| Fairtrade cocoa | Check whether the Fairtrade claim specifically refers to cocoa and how the packaging explains traceability. | For chocolate spritz biscuits, a clear Fairtrade cocoa claim matters more to me than an organic label. For around 33% of consumers, that cocoa claim comes first. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the current ingredients list and any statements about allergens that are present or may be present. | Before choosing spritz biscuits, I want to know whether the ingredients and allergens are suitable for me. For around 25% of consumers, this is the most important purchasing criterion. |
