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.

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. |

Frequently asked questions
Does a 2-pack contain individual lunchbox portions of chocolate flakes?
Not the De Ruijter 2-pack listed by Albert Heijn: it contains two separate packs of 200 g each. You can split the supply, but you’ll need to make the sandwiches or individual portions yourself.
What should I choose if different people want different sprinkles?
A mixed selection may suit you if you want to offer sprinkles other than chocolate flakes too. According to Jumbo, De Ruijter Kleintjes Strooibaar contains milk and dark chocolate flakes, chocolate sprinkles and fruit sprinkles; check that everyone can eat the contents.
Where can I check the allergens in chocolate flakes?
Read the allergen information on the pack you’re buying. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority refers to the information in the ingredients list for prepacked foods; for De Ruijter Kleintjes Strooibaar, Jumbo lists milk, cereals containing gluten, soya, lactose and wheat, among other allergens.
How should I store an opened pack for future lunches?
Follow the storage advice on the pack and seal it securely after use. For its 200 g pack of De Ruijter milk chocolate flakes, Joybuy advises storing it in a cool, dry place and keeping an opened pack tightly closed.
How can I compare the nutritional value of chocolate flakes?
Compare the nutritional information per 100 g and, if shown, per portion, paying attention to the portion size. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre gives the values for 15 g of chocolate flakes as 68 kcal, 10,7 g of sugars and 1,4 g of saturated fat. Check the label for the values of the product you choose.
