If you want to set out chocolate sprinkles for each person at a Mother’s Day breakfast, individual portions are a practical option. For everyone to share, you could choose a regular pack. Don’t assume that a sauce squeeze bottle can dispense dry chocolate sprinkles: only consider this if the manufacturer explicitly confirms it’s suitable and the bottle is intended for food contact.
You want to set out chocolate sprinkles for several people without everyone having to serve themselves from the same pack. Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter Kleintjes as individual portions; a regular pack is still an option if you arrange your own way of serving it.
You’re looking for a way to offer chocolate sprinkles to each person. Individual portions make it possible to share them out without passing round one opened pack; if you’re considering a dispenser, first check that it’s designed for dry chocolate sprinkles.
You might prefer a particular milk, dark or mixed variety, or a pack to use later. The pack size and variety can help you decide, but they don’t in themselves tell you whether the sprinkles can be dispensed from a squeeze bottle.
Choose this if: you want to set out chocolate sprinkles for each person. Albert Heijn lists eight portions in De Ruijter Kleintjes.
The trade-off: with individual portions, you have less flexibility to divide up the amount yourself from one pack.
Choose this if: flavour or pack size is your priority and you want to serve the chocolate sprinkles yourself at the table.
The trade-off: the pack doesn’t automatically determine how guests can serve themselves without spilling.
Only consider this if: the manufacturer explicitly states that the specific bottle is suitable for dispensing dry chocolate sprinkles.
The trade-off: a label stating that it’s suitable for sauces tells you nothing about whether dry sprinkles will pass through the nozzle. Also check that the bottle is intended for food contact.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Letting people help themselves | Check whether you’re buying individual portions. Only consider a squeeze bottle if the manufacturer states that it’s suitable for dry chocolate sprinkles. | When guests serve themselves, I don’t want to keep passing round the same opened pack. For around 45% of consumers, this way of serving independently is the top priority. |
| Flavour and presentation | Compare the exact variety and check the current packaging for ingredients and allergens. | For my breakfast table, I mainly want to choose a suitable flavour or a decorative variety. This is the top priority for around 33% of consumers. |
| Quantity | Choose a pack size to suit the number of people eating and what you’d like to use after breakfast. | I want to put out enough chocolate sprinkles without opening more than I need. Getting the quantity right comes first for around 22% of consumers. |
LUSINI Nederland describes its squeeze bottle as being for sauces such as ketchup and mayonnaise. This doesn’t confirm that dry chocolate sprinkles can be dispensed through the nozzle.
Ask the manufacturer whether the specific bottle is explicitly suitable for dry sprinkles or chocolate sprinkles. Otherwise, choose a pack of chocolate sprinkles or individual portions.
You can set out a pack of individual portions for each person; with a large pack, you’ll need to divide the chocolate sprinkles up yourself.
Before choosing a pack size, decide whether everyone will have their own portion or whether you’ll put a shared pack on the table.
You can’t tell from a bottle’s shape whether it’s intended for food contact. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority highlights the responsibility producers and importers have for the safety of materials that come into contact with food.
Check the product information to make sure it’s suitable for food contact before putting chocolate sprinkles in a reusable bottle.
A listed variety isn’t necessarily available in every shop. Albert Heijn also warns that ingredient, nutritional and allergen information can change.
When planning your breakfast, check current availability and read the packaging before use, especially if ingredients or allergens are important to your choice.

Check both that the bottle is intended for food contact and that the manufacturer lists dry chocolate sprinkles as a suitable use.

Read the current packaging before use, especially if ingredients or allergens matter to you. Albert Heijn says that ingredient, nutritional and allergen information can change when products are updated.
