If you’re looking for a ready-to-eat bar to take with you, the chocolate sprinkles discussed here aren’t what you need: they’re loose sprinkles for bread. If you can make your own sandwich, choose a pack size that suits how often you use them, and check the ingredients and allergens for the specific variety.
If you want to top a sandwich or roll with chocolate sprinkles to take with you, you can prepare it in advance or pack the bread and sprinkles separately. The sprinkles listed by Jumbo and PLUS are loose sandwich toppings, not bars.
If you don’t eat sprinkles very often, a smaller pack may suit you better. PLUS lists a 200 g box of De Ruijter milk chocolate sprinkles; compare the pack size with larger options before choosing.
Check the ingredients and allergens for the variety you’re buying. Jumbo lists soya and a milk warning for De Ruijter Royaal puur; PLUS says its dark chocolate sprinkles may contain milk and lactose.
First, decide whether loose sandwich toppings will work for your lunch on the go. If they will, consider how much you use, any allergens and the flavour you prefer.
| What to consider | Check | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Ready to take with you | Is it a bar or loose sandwich topping? If you choose sprinkles, take bread too or make your sandwich in advance. | If I want to take one product with me without any preparation, loose sprinkles won’t give me a ready-made lunch. Being able to take something with you straight away is the top priority for around 40% of consumers. |
| Right-sized pack | Compare the net weight, such as 200 g and 300 g, with how often you use sprinkles. | I only use sprinkles occasionally and don’t want to open a bigger pack than I need. The right pack size is the main concern for around 30% of consumers. |
| Allergens and dietary requirements | Check the ingredients, allergens and warnings about possible traces on the current packaging. | If I need to avoid milk or soya, I can’t rely on the word ‘dark’ or a vegan label. This check takes priority for around 20% of consumers. |
| Flavour and nutritional information | Compare the type of chocolate and, if they matter to your choice, the nutritional values per 100 g and the amount you use. | Once I’ve decided how I’ll use the product, I mainly want to choose a flavour and compare the nutritional information. This is the main consideration for around 10% of consumers. |
The chocolate sprinkles listed by Jumbo and PLUS are loose sandwich toppings. A pack of sprinkles isn’t as convenient to eat as a single ready-to-eat bar.
If you want to take sprinkles with you, make a sandwich at home or pack the bread and sprinkles separately. If a ready-made product is essential, look in a different product category.
A flavour name or dietary label doesn’t tell you which allergens may be present. PLUS says its dark sprinkles may contain milk and lactose; Jumbo says De Ruijter Royaal puur contains soya and may contain milk.
If you have an allergy, check the ingredients and allergen information on the current packaging, including any warnings about possible traces.
Chocolate sprinkles are sold as a sandwich topping. Even if you take them on a sandwich, you’re choosing a topping for that sandwich, not a ready-to-eat lunch bar.
Before you buy, think about how you want to take your lunch with you and what else you’ll need.
These brands offer chocolate sprinkles as a sandwich topping. Always compare the specific variety and pack, not just the brand name.
De Ruijter offers chocolate sprinkles in different flavours and pack sizes. PLUS lists the 200 g milk chocolate variety; Jumbo lists Royaal puur in a 240 g pack.
PLUS lists own-brand milk and dark chocolate sprinkles, both in 300 g packs.
ALDI lists Kiekeboe milk or dark chocolate sprinkles in a 300 g pack.
Jumbo’s range overview lists its own-brand dark and milk chocolate sprinkles in 300 g packs.
No. The chocolate sprinkles listed by Jumbo and PLUS are loose sprinkles for bread, not individually wrapped bars. Make a sandwich in advance if you want to take these sprinkles with you; if you need one ready-to-eat product, look in a different product category.
Choose a pack size based on how often you use sprinkles. A 200 g pack may suit you if you want to keep less in stock; a 300 g pack makes more sense if you use sprinkles more often and store them at home. Both are packs of loose sandwich toppings.
Not necessarily. PLUS labels its dark chocolate sprinkles as vegan, but also says they may contain milk and lactose. If you have a milk allergy, read the allergen information and any warnings on the current packaging.
Follow the storage instructions on the packaging of the variety you bought. Close the pack after use as directed on the packaging.
