If you want to have one spritz biscuit at home, you can take one from a pack of Verkade NoboSprits Original: Albert Heijn lists 150 g and nine portions. Verkade NoboSprits Milk is an option if you’d prefer a milk chocolate coating. If you need an individually wrapped snack to take with you, check the packaging to make sure it is; a portion listed on the pack doesn’t mean each biscuit is wrapped separately.
You’re looking for a small portion for a moment to yourself, and can put the rest of the pack away. Albert Heijn lists nine portions in a 150 g pack of Verkade NoboSprits Original; check separately whether the biscuits are individually wrapped if you need them to be.
You prefer spritz biscuits with milk chocolate. Verkade describes NoboSprits Milk as a biscuit with a milk chocolate coating; check the ingredients and allergens on the pack you buy.
The label determines whether a particular variety is suitable for you. Original and Milk have different ingredients; also check for any ‘may contain’ warnings on the current packaging.
First decide whether one biscuit from a pack to keep at home will do, or whether you want an individually wrapped snack to take with you. Then compare the flavour, allergens and nutritional information for the portion you plan to eat.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Portion and packaging | Check the number of biscuits or portions, and whether each biscuit is individually wrapped. Albert Heijn lists nine portions in 150 g of NoboSprits Original. | If I’m having one biscuit at home, I want to be able to keep the rest; around 29% of consumers put portion size and packaging first. |
| Plain or milk chocolate | Compare the variety name and ingredients; Verkade describes NoboSprits Milk as having a milk chocolate coating. | If I’m specifically in the mood for plain spritz biscuits or chocolate, that determines which variety I choose; around 36% of consumers prioritise flavour. |
| Allergens | Read the ingredients and any ‘may contain’ warnings on the current packaging. | If an ingredient or the risk of cross-contamination is a deal-breaker for me, the label needs to make that clear; around 21% of consumers prioritise checking allergens. |
| Nutritional information | Check the energy, sugars and saturated fat per biscuit or planned portion, as well as the values per 100 g. | I want to know what my chosen amount contains before I pick a variety; for around 14% of consumers, nutritional value per snack occasion matters most. |
A pack listing several portions doesn’t automatically give you a sealed snack to take with you. Once you’ve taken a biscuit, you may be left with an opened pack.
Before buying, check whether the product information explicitly says the biscuits are individually wrapped. If that matters to you, check the packaging itself too.
Online allergen information for the milk chocolate variety can vary between retailers. If you have an allergy, the label on the pack you buy is the one to rely on.
Check both the allergens present and any ‘may contain’ warnings before eating the product.
These values don’t tell you directly what’s in the amount you’ll eat as a snack. You’ll also need to know the portion size.
Compare the nutritional information per biscuit, or use the stated portion size to work out the values for the amount you plan to have.
NoboSprits Original and NoboSprits Milk are two options for choosing between plain biscuits and a milk chocolate coating.
AH Spritsen are made with butter and come in a pack of ten, weighing 200 g.
Looking for a snack you can take as an individual portion, rather than spritz biscuits? These biscuits, crackers and wafers are different types of product. Check how the portions are packaged and how much each portion contains.

Fruit-flavoured filled sandwich biscuits as an alternative to spritz biscuits. Check how many biscuits are in each pack and which allergens are listed on the label.
The portion information doesn’t tell you that. Albert Heijn lists nine portions in a 150 g pack; check the packaging itself if you want one sealed biscuit to take with you.
Before eating, read the ingredients and warnings on the current packaging for the variety you’ve chosen. Jumbo lists milk, wheat and soya for the milk chocolate variety and says it may contain nuts and sesame; don’t assume the same information applies to Original.
Seal the opened pack tightly again and follow the storage advice on the label. This is particularly important if you want to save the remaining biscuits for later snacks.
