Who are these options for?

Shoppers comparing pack sizes

You buy chocolate sprinkles regularly and want to know how much you’re getting, without treating a 200 g box and a 300 g box as the same amount.

Households that like to keep sprinkles in stock

You often use sprinkles as a bread topping and want a pack size that suits how often you open it.

Shoppers checking flavour and allergens

You’re choosing between milk, dark and other types of sprinkles, and check the ingredients and allergen information for each product.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, check the product type and pack size. Then consider whether the flavour, labelling and packaging suit how you’ll use them at home. A larger box doesn’t necessarily make them easier to dispense.

What to consider What should you check? Who is it important to?
Like-for-like products Check that both packs contain the same type of chocolate sprinkles, and read the net weight in grams. I don’t want to compare regular chocolate sprinkles with a different type of topping without checking first. For around 46% of shoppers, like-for-like comparisons come first.
The right pack size Compare the listed 200 g and 300 g packs with how often you use sprinkles. If I use them regularly at home, I want enough in one pack. If I use them less often, a smaller box may be a better fit. Around 27% of shoppers prioritise how much they need.
Flavour and allergens Read the product description and check the current label for ingredients and relevant allergens. I don’t want to treat milk and dark sprinkles as interchangeable, especially if I need to watch out for milk, soya or wheat. For around 18% of shoppers, ingredients are the top priority.
Precise dispensing Check how the exact pack opens and closes before choosing it for controlled sprinkling. If I want to serve sprinkles without making a mess, I need to know how the box or pack opens. For around 9% of shoppers, ease of dispensing is their main concern.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming chocolate sprinkles come in a squeeze bottle

    The sprinkles listed by Albert Heijn, Jumbo, ALDI, PLUS and Lidl are described as coming in a box or pack. This doesn’t tell you how easy a particular pack is to dispense.

    If precise sprinkling matters to you, check the shape of the exact product and how it opens and closes.

  • Treating different types of sprinkles as the same

    Milk and dark chocolate sprinkles, and cocoa-flavoured sprinkles, don’t necessarily have the same ingredients. According to PLUS product information, Choca contains wheat and soya, while De Ruijter milk sprinkles contain milk and soya.

    Read the product description and allergen information on the current label before choosing a different type.

  • Assuming they’re available at every store

    Lidl lists its 300 g chocolate sprinkles as an in-store product. ALDI also directs shoppers to the store for the listed Kiekeboe sprinkles.

    Check availability at the store where you plan to shop.

Frequently asked questions

How do I compare sprinkles in packs of different weights?

First, check that you’re comparing the same type of product, then check the weight in grams. The listed products from Jumbo, ALDI and PLUS, among others, include 200 g and 300 g packs. The flavours and ingredients may also differ.

Should I check the ingredients and allergens again?

Yes. If ingredients or allergens matter to your choice, read the current label of the variety you’re buying. The listed products differ in their information about milk, soya and wheat, among other things. PLUS also recommends checking the label, as product information may change.
