Who are these pack sizes for?

Families looking to share a supply

If several people have chocolate sprinkles at coffee time or breakfast, you can choose between two separate packs to share and one larger pack for home.

Lunchbox and sharing planners

If you want to set out a measured amount for each lunchbox, guest or occasion, how the product is portioned matters more than the total weight alone.

Label-conscious shoppers

If you’re choosing for yourself or a child, you can compare ingredients, allergens and nutritional information for each variety. If you have an allergy or intolerance, check the label on the pack you receive too.

Which pack size suits the way you use it?

First decide whether you want separate packs to share, one larger pack to keep in stock, or portions to set out each time. Then compare the contents and label of the specific variety.

2-pack

Choose this if: you want two storage locations or a supply to share with someone else.

Keep in mind: Albert Heijn describes the Venz puur 2-pack as two separate 400 g packs, not one larger pack.

Larger pack

Choose this if: you use chocolate sprinkles regularly at home and want one larger pack to keep on the table.

Keep in mind: a 600 g pack isn’t the same as a set of separate packs or pre-measured portions.

Portion pack

Choose this if: you want to set out an amount for each lunchbox or occasion.

Keep in mind: Albert Heijn lists a De Ruijter pack containing 120 portions of 20 g as available in store only.

When considering chocolate sprinkles for coffee time, different needs may take priority:

What to consider What to check before buying Who is this important to?
A supply to share Check the number of packs and the weight of each one. Albert Heijn lists Venz puur as two separate 400 g packs. When several people are having coffee, I want enough chocolate sprinkles to share without buying more than I’ll use. For around 45% of shoppers, having a supply to share would be the top priority.
Portions for lunchboxes Check the number of portions, the weight per portion and whether the pack is available through the retailer you want to buy from. For lunchboxes or sharing occasions, I want to set out an amount each time without having to scoop it from a large pack. For around 33% of shoppers, pre-measured portions would be the priority.
Label and nutritional information Compare the ingredients, allergens and nutritional values per 100 g and per portion on the pack of your chosen variety. If I’m choosing for myself or a child, I want to know which ingredients and allergens the chocolate sprinkles contain. For around 22% of shoppers, checking the label would be the main priority.

What could you get wrong?

  • Mistaking a 2-pack for one large pack

    The Venz puur 2-pack at Albert Heijn consists of two separate items. That’s a different format from one pack containing the same total amount.

    Before you buy, check how many items are in the pack and how much each one weighs.

  • Assuming an old pack listing is still current

    A product listing saved on an old shopping list doesn’t tell you whether that pack is still available or has the same contents.

    Check the current pack description and availability before making your choice.

  • Looking only at the total weight

    A 600 g pack tells you how much chocolate sprinkles it contains, but not which ingredients or allergens are in the variety you’ve chosen.

    Compare the variety and read the label, especially if anyone sharing it has an allergy or intolerance.

  • Reading the online description instead of the pack

    Ingredients and allergen information can vary between varieties. Information for one type of De Ruijter chocolate sprinkles doesn’t automatically apply to another.

    Before eating, check the label on the pack you actually received.

Frequently asked questions

Is a chocolate sprinkles 2-pack one large pack?

Not necessarily: the Venz puur 2-pack at Albert Heijn consists of two separate 400 g packs. For any other pack, check the number of items and the weight of each one.

Should I choose a larger pack or portions for lunchboxes?

Choose portions if you want to set out a measured amount for each lunchbox; choose one larger pack if you’d rather portion it yourself. Albert Heijn lists a De Ruijter pack containing 120 portions of 20 g as available in store only.

Should I check the allergens on the pack?

Yes, especially if anyone sharing it has an allergy or intolerance. Read the label on the variety you receive before eating, even if you’ve already checked the product information online.

What should I look out for if chocolate sprinkles often go in a lunchbox?

As well as the pack format, consider the amount per serving and the nutritional information for your chosen chocolate sprinkles. The Voedingscentrum highlights sugars and saturated fat in chocolate sprinkles; a larger pack doesn’t change the nutritional content per portion.
