Anyone who wants to keep the coffee table tidy
You serve sprinkles with rolls, yoghurt or cake and want to be able to close the pack again afterwards. Check the packaging type and set aside a clean, dry spot for serving them.
Who are these options for?
Anyone looking to buy the right amount
If you regularly serve sprinkles, pack size matters. A 200 g pack may be a better fit if you offer several flavours; if you use them more often, you could also compare 300 g packs.
Anyone who needs to check the label for guests
Ingredients and allergen information vary by variety. Before serving, read the label on the pack you’re actually using, even if you already know the brand or flavour.
What should you look for when choosing?
Start by thinking about how you want to serve the sprinkles. Then choose a suitable pack size and flavour, and check the label of the exact variety.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Serving them neatly | Check whether you’re buying a box or a packet, and how the pack should be closed according to the label. | I want to put sprinkles on the table without leaving the pack open. For around 40% of consumers, serving them neatly is a top priority. |
| Pack size and supply | Compare the pack size, for example 200 g or 300 g, with how often you use sprinkles. | If I use only a little or open several flavours, I don’t want to open more than I need. The right pack size matters most to around 30% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients list and allergen information for the exact variety, including any ‘may contain’ warnings. | If a guest has a relevant allergy, I want to know what I’m serving before I open the pack. Around 20% of consumers prioritise checking the label. |
| Flavour and cocoa | Choose between milk, dark or a mix, and check the stated cocoa content for dark varieties. | I want to offer a flavour that suits the coffee table; the cocoa percentage alone doesn’t tell me how everyone will find the taste. For around 10% of consumers, the type of flavour is the first consideration. |
Common mistakes
-
Looking only for a squeeze bottle
The chocolate sprinkles mentioned here are available in boxes or packets, among other formats. If you search only for a squeeze bottle, you could miss packs that suit your preferred size and flavour.
Check the packaging type for the specific product. If you want to dispense sprinkles from a bottle, don’t rely on the product category alone.

Treating ‘vegan’ or ‘dark’ as allergen information
The words ‘dark’ or ‘vegan’ don’t replace the allergen information. PLUS labels its dark chocolate sprinkles as vegan, but also states that the product may contain milk and lactose.
Read the ingredients and warnings on the pack you’re buying, especially if you’re serving someone else.
