Who should consider this choice?

Coffee guests who want to serve straight away

If you want to put out a plate of biscuits without having too many left over, check the number in the pack. Albert Heijn lists 10 AH Spritsen per pack; ALDI lists 12 Biscotto Roomboterspritsen.

Shoppers looking for a branded spritz biscuit

If you specifically want Verkade NoboSprits, check the variety. Jumbo lists Nobo Sprits Naturel in a 150 g pack, not as an individually wrapped bar.

Shoppers who need to check allergens

If a guest needs to avoid certain ingredients, compare the information on the packaging with their requirements. For Verkade Nobo Sprits Naturel, Jumbo lists milk and wheat, and possible traces of nuts and sesame; PLUS also lists egg for its spritz biscuits.

What should you look for when choosing?

Start with the number of biscuits you want to serve. Then compare the ingredients, and only then decide between a branded spritz biscuit, fresh spritz biscuits or a supermarket own-label option.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Serving size Compare the number of biscuits and the total weight; check whether you’re buying individual biscuits or a multipack. If I’m only having a few guests over, I want to know how many biscuits I can put on the table. An estimated 45% of consumers put serving quantity first.
Allergens and ingredients Read the ingredients and allergen information on the packaging before serving, even if you’ve already checked online. If a guest needs to avoid certain ingredients, I want to be able to check the label myself. An estimated 33% of consumers consider allergens and ingredients the most important factor.
Flavour and brand Compare the product description and ingredients for the variety you want to buy, such as a branded spritz biscuit or a butter biscuit. I want to be able to choose between a classic branded spritz biscuit and a butter variety. For an estimated 22% of consumers, flavour or brand matters most.

Common pitfalls

  • Assuming a pack of spritz biscuits is an individually wrapped bar

    A listing of 10 or 12 biscuits tells you how many are in the pack, not whether each one is individually wrapped. For a small coffee get-together, the total weight may also be a factor.

    If individual wrappers matter to you, check the number of biscuits, the weight and the packaging information separately.

  • Focusing only on the word ‘butter’

    The product name doesn’t tell you which other allergens may be present. PLUS lists wheat, milk and egg among the ingredients in its spritz biscuits.

    Read the full ingredients and allergen information on the pack before offering the biscuits to your guests.

  • Treating online ingredient information as definitive

    Albert Heijn and PLUS state that product information can change. This means the packaging may differ from what you previously read online.

    Use the online description to compare products, then check the label again just before serving.
