Who are these packs suitable for?

Lunch planners splitting their supplies

If you make lunches for different days or households, two separate packs let you keep one unopened. Albert Heijn states that the De Ruijter 2-pack contains two individual packs. You’ll still need to make a sandwich or prepare a portion yourself for the lunchbox.

Families with different tastes

A mixed selection gives you options when preparing lunches. According to Jumbo’s product information, De Ruijter Kleintjes Strooibaar contains both chocolate flakes and chocolate sprinkles, as well as fruit sprinkles. So it isn’t a pack of chocolate flakes only; remember to check the allergens too.

Lunch makers who portion it themselves

If you make sandwiches at home, a single 300 g pack can serve as a shared supply. Jumbo and PLUS list packs of chocolate flakes in this size. These don’t come as individually packed lunch portions.

What should you look for when choosing?

For lunches on the go, it makes a difference whether you want to keep a pack unopened, switch between different sprinkles or portion out a single pack yourself.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters to
Splitting packs Check how many separate packs there are and the contents of each one. Albert Heijn lists the De Ruijter 2-pack as two separate packs of 200 g each. I make lunches for several days and want to keep one pack sealed until later; around 42% of consumers prioritise splitting up unopened supplies.
Variety of flavours Check which items are chocolate flakes and which are other sprinkles. If you choose a mix, check the allergens on the pack. I want to offer a choice of chocolate flakes and other sprinkles for a shared lunch; around 33% of consumers put variety first.
Portioning it yourself Check the pack size and storage advice after opening. A 300 g pack isn’t a set of individual lunch portions. I make sandwiches at home and don’t need individual packs; around 25% of consumers prioritise portioning a single pack themselves.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a 2-pack contains individual lunch portions

    The De Ruijter 2-pack at Albert Heijn comes as two standard packs. You can keep one unopened, but the flakes aren’t portioned out for each sandwich.

    Before buying, check how many separate packs you’ll get and whether you want to prepare the portions yourself at home.

  • Expecting a selection to contain only chocolate flakes

    According to Jumbo, De Ruijter Kleintjes Strooibaar contains chocolate sprinkles and fruit sprinkles as well as milk and dark chocolate flakes. It isn’t suitable if you want chocolate flakes only.

    Check which sprinkles are in the pack and choose a single variety of chocolate flakes if you don’t need a mix.

  • Overlooking the allergen information

    For De Ruijter Kleintjes Strooibaar, Jumbo lists milk, cereals containing gluten, soya, lactose and wheat, among other allergens. The ingredients need to be suitable for the person you’re making lunch for.

    Before buying and using the product, read the allergen information on the pack you’ve chosen.
