A big pack of chocolate sprinkles is a practical choice for back to school if you use the same variety regularly and will finish it before its best-before date. Opt for a smaller pack or a flavour you know everyone likes if a big pack is likely to sit in the cupboard. For every variety, check the current ingredients, allergen information and storage advice on the packaging.
If you regularly pack chocolate sprinkles in your child's lunchbox, it helps to choose a pack size that suits how much your household uses. A big pack offers little practical benefit if you won't finish it in time.
If your household mainly eats a particular milk, dark or other variety, that preference is an important factor when choosing a larger pack.
If you have allergies or specific dietary requirements, the ingredients and allergens in the exact variety you choose matter. Check the current packaging, even when buying it again.
First, work out which kind of chocolate sprinkles your household eats and how much you use. Then compare packs of the same variety and check the label.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Stock and pack size | Compare the net weight of the same variety of chocolate sprinkles and check whether you'll finish the pack before its best-before date. | If I regularly pack lunches, I want a pack that matches how much we use at home. Having the right amount in stock is a priority for around 39% of consumers. |
| Flavour and variety | Choose between milk chocolate sprinkles, dark chocolate sprinkles and other varieties; check the exact product name on the pack. | Not everyone at home likes every variety, so I prefer to choose a familiar flavour. This preference is the deciding factor for around 23% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients list and allergen information on the current packaging, even if you've bought the product before. | If someone in the family needs to avoid an allergen, I need to know what's in this specific pack. Checking the label is the main concern for around 23% of consumers. |
| Portion size and nutritional information | Compare sugars and fats on the same basis, such as per 100 g, and consider how much you use per portion. | For school lunches, I want to know how much chocolate sprinkles go on a slice of bread and how often we use them. This is a priority for around 15% of consumers. |
A 600 g pack isn't automatically right for every household. If the chosen flavour isn't eaten often, you may end up with chocolate sprinkles left over.
