Regular shopper stocking up
You share the chocolate sprinkles with your household or other regular eaters, and want to make sure a larger pack is the right size for how much you use.
Which pack is right for you?
Flavour and variety seeker
You’re looking for a particular milk, dark, white or XXL variety, and that preference matters more to you than the amount in one pack.
Label and storage-conscious shopper
You check the ingredients and allergens for everyone who’ll be eating them, and want to be able to store an opened pack as directed on the label.
What should you consider when choosing?
First, check whether everyone who eats them regularly wants the same variety. Then choose a pack size that suits how much you use and the storage space available.
| What to consider | What to check | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Pack size and usage | Compare 600 g with 380–400 g and think about how often the opened pack will be used. | If several people regularly eat from the same pack, I want the size to suit how much we use. Around 40% of consumers put this consideration first. |
| Flavour and shape | Choose the variety you want, such as milk, dark, white or XXL, before deciding on the pack size. | For a shared breakfast, I want to choose a variety that the regular eaters will actually enjoy. Around 40% of consumers give this preference top priority. |
| Label and storage | Read the ingredients, allergens, use-by date and storage instructions on the specific pack. | If someone eating with us needs to know about a particular ingredient, I want to be able to check the label and store the pack properly after opening. For around 20% of consumers, this is their first consideration. |
Common mistakes
-
Choosing a large pack before agreeing on a variety everyone likes
Milk, dark and white chocolate sprinkles, as well as varieties with different shapes, aren’t interchangeable for everyone. If you buy a larger pack that isn’t a favourite, it could sit in the cupboard for longer.
Agree on the variety with the people who’ll be eating it first, then choose the pack size that suits you.
A pack that goes partly unused takes up space in your store cupboard for longer.
-
Assuming the allergens based on the brand name or type of chocolate
Ingredients vary between varieties. For the De Ruijter Chocoladehagel puur product it checked, Albert Heijn lists milk and soya as allergens; this doesn’t apply to every other pack from the brand.
Check the current label on the exact pack every time you buy it, including any warnings about the possible presence of allergens.
-
Not sealing an opened pack properly
A larger pack may stay open for longer. The Voedingscentrum recommends storing similar chocolate products in a cool, dry, dark place and keeping the packaging tightly sealed.
Follow the storage instructions on the pack and seal it properly after use. If needed, use a clean, dry storage container with a tight-fitting lid.
