If you want just one biscuit
If you want a spritz biscuit for a mid-morning snack, check how many grams the stated portion weighs and how to store the rest of the biscuits once the pack is open.
Who might want a spritz biscuit as a snack?
If you choose by flavour
Plain, butter, milk chocolate and cocoa with icing offer different flavour options. If you’re choosing a topped variety, check the ingredients and nutritional information for that specific one too.
If you compare labels carefully
If allergens or nutritional values matter to your choice, compare the current packaging. The ingredients and values per portion vary between the spritz biscuits mentioned here.
What should you look for when choosing?
First decide what counts as one biscuit portion for you. Then compare the flavour, label and pack size. One biscuit from a multi-biscuit pack isn’t the same as an individually wrapped bar.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Portion and storage | Compare the weight per portion and the number of portions per pack. Verkade lists around 16.8 g for Nobo Sprits Original; Jumbo lists 12 g for Roomboter Spritsen. | I want to have one biscuit and put the opened pack away afterwards. Around 36% of consumers prioritise checking the portion size. |
| Flavour | Check whether you’re choosing plain, butter, milk chocolate or cocoa with icing; a topping is included in that variety’s ingredients. | For my morning break, the flavour makes the difference between a plain spritz biscuit and one with a topping. Around 29% of consumers prioritise flavour. |
| Allergens and nutritional values | Read the current allergen statement. Compare sugars, fat and saturates per 100 g and per portion. | If I need to watch an ingredient or nutritional value, I want to be able to identify the right variety on the label. Around 21% of consumers give this the highest priority. |
| Pack size | Check the pack weight, the number of biscuits and the storage instructions for after opening. | I only have a spritz biscuit occasionally and don’t want to be left with a large opened pack. Pack size matters most to around 14% of consumers. |
Common mistakes when choosing
-
Comparing only the value per biscuit
Jumbo lists 59 kcal for a 12 g portion of Roomboter Spritsen; the stated portion of Verkade Nobo Sprits Original weighs around 16.8 g. So the figures don’t apply to portions of the same size.
Compare the nutritional information per 100 g first, then consider which portion you’d actually like to have.
-
Assuming every spritz biscuit contains the same allergens
The varieties mentioned here include ingredients such as wheat, milk, egg and soya. Warnings about possible traces can also vary between packs.
Before buying, read the ingredients and allergen statement for your chosen variety on the current packaging.
-
Choosing a large pack for an occasional biscuit
A 400 g pack is a different choice from a 150 to 200 g pack if you only have one spritz biscuit now and then.
Choose an amount that suits how often you eat them, and follow the storage instructions on the pack once it’s open.
The remaining biscuits may lose their crunch if you don’t seal the opened pack properly and store it in a dry place.
