When choosing chocolate sprinkles for crispbread, start by picking a type that suits your taste and ingredient requirements: dark chocolate sprinkles, milk chocolate sprinkles and a flake mix are different products. Then compare the nutritional information per 100 g and per portion, check the allergens on the packaging, and choose a pack size you can use up and store in a dry place.
If flavour comes first, compare dark and milk chocolate sprinkles using the information for the specific variety. Albert Heijn states that De Ruijter Specials Intens Puur contains at least 52% cocoa solids; this percentage applies to that variety, not to all dark chocolate sprinkles.
A ‘less sugar’ claim is only useful if you know what the product is being compared with. According to Albert Heijn, AH Hagelslag melk minder suiker contains 30% less sugar than AH Melk hagelslag. Also check the nutritional information per 100 g and how much you use on your crispbread.
When it comes to allergens, check the information for the exact variety. A larger pack also means considering how often you use chocolate sprinkles. Voedingscentrum advises storing opened chocolate sprinkles in a tightly sealed container in a dry place.
Choose your crispbread and topping separately: for crispbread, you could compare plain and wholemeal options, while the type, ingredients, nutritional information and packaging are the main factors to consider when choosing chocolate sprinkles.
| What to consider | What to check | Who is it important to? |
|---|---|---|

| Sugars and portion size | If the product claims to contain less sugar, check which product it is being compared with, then look at the sugars per 100 g and per portion you use. | When I’m watching my sugar intake, I want to know what’s in the amount I actually use; around 31% of consumers say this is their first priority. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Check the current ingredients list, allergens and any warning about possible traces on the exact packaging. | If I need to avoid certain ingredients, I don’t want to rely on the ‘dark’ label alone; ingredients and allergens are the top priority for around 23% of consumers. |
| Pack size and storage | Choose a size that suits how much you use, and check how to seal and store the pack once opened. | If I don’t use it often, I want to avoid leaving a large pack open for too long; around 15% of consumers give packaging and storage top priority. |
