Don’t expect to find a squeeze bottle of chocolate sprinkles on your first shop: Albert Heijn and Jumbo’s ranges include individual portions, mini shaker packs and standard packs, but no squeeze bottles. If you’d rather open just a small amount at a time, look for individual portions. If you use chocolate sprinkles regularly, a larger pack may suit you, as long as you measure out what you need and seal it carefully.
If you don’t want to handle a large pack on your first shop, individual portions are worth considering. Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter Kleintjes as containing eight portions in one pack. They’re not squeeze bottles, and you can still spill sprinkles when using individual portions.
A larger pack gives you more per shop. You’ll need to pour out the amount you want and seal the pack carefully after use.
Ingredients and allergens can vary between varieties. Before using the product, check the information on the pack you’ve actually chosen, rather than relying on the brand or flavour name alone.
Before your first shop, decide how much chocolate sprinkles you want to open at a time. Then compare the pack size and label.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Portions and sprinkling | Check whether the pack contains individual portions or mini shaker packs. Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter Kleintjes as containing eight portions, with a total weight of 140 g. | If I only want to open a small amount at a time, I don’t want to put a whole pack on the table straight away. Around 50% of consumers prioritise portion control when making this choice. |
| Pack size | Compare the net weight and check how you can reseal the pack after opening. | If I use chocolate sprinkles regularly, I want to have enough in stock, even if I need to pour them out myself; around 30% of consumers prioritise pack size. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients list and allergen information for the variety you’ve chosen. Check the nutritional information too if its composition matters to you. | If I need to watch out for certain ingredients or allergens, I want to assess the exact product before using it. This is the main purchasing concern for around 20% of consumers. |
Albert Heijn and Jumbo’s chocolate sprinkle ranges include individual portions, mini shaker packs and standard packs. The search term alone doesn’t tell you what type of packaging an individual product comes in.
Check the product photo and pack description. If you need a dispensing spout, make sure you check explicitly that the product is chocolate sprinkles and that it has one.
Ingredients can vary between varieties. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority states that relevant allergens must be clearly listed in the ingredients list for pre-packed foods.

A good choice if you use chocolate sprinkles regularly and are looking for a 600 g pack. Check the packaging type if you need a dispensing spout, and read the ingredients and allergen information on the current label.
A squeeze bottle of chocolate sprinkles isn’t listed in the Albert Heijn and Jumbo ranges we checked; they do stock standard packs, individual portions and mini shaker packs. If you need a squeeze bottle, check both the product contents and packaging type on the product page.
A pack of individual portions is a good option: Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter Kleintjes as containing eight separate portions. This limits how much you open at once, but it won’t necessarily stop sprinkles falling beside your bread or into your bowl.
Seal the pack carefully and store it somewhere dry, as advised by the Netherlands Nutrition Centre. Also check the instructions on the pack you’ve bought.
Yes. If allergens are relevant to your choice, read the label on the exact variety you’re considering. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says that relevant allergens must be clearly listed in the ingredients list for pre-packed foods.
