Families who use chocolate sprinkles regularly
If you often put chocolate sprinkles on the table, the pack size is a practical consideration. The range shown by Jumbo includes packs of 380 g, 390 g, 400 g and 600 g.
Who is this choice for?
Shoppers who check ingredients and allergens
Ingredients vary between products, even in a mixed pack of smaller portions. According to Albert Heijn, De Ruijter Kleintjes includes varieties containing milk, lactose and soya, among others, so check the information for the exact product.
What should you look for when choosing?
For a sweet breakfast, first decide whether your main priority is a jar for the table, the size of the pack or product information. A separate jar and a pack of chocolate sprinkles are two different choices.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Jar for the table and capacity | Compare the net weight of the chocolate sprinkles in g with the capacity and opening of the separate jar you choose. | If I want to serve chocolate sprinkles neatly on the table, I need to know whether the amount I want will fit in my jar. For around 43% of consumers, serving them at the table is the top priority. |
| Stock and portions | Choose between one larger pack and separate portions; check how many g you want to use at a time. | If I eat breakfast with chocolate sprinkles regularly, I want to have enough in stock, but I don’t want to open more than I’ll use at once. Around 29% of consumers give this consideration top priority. |
| Label and variety | Read the ingredients, declared allergens and nutritional information for the exact variety. | If I’m choosing between flavours or a mixed pack, I want to be able to find the information for each variety. For around 28% of consumers, checking this is their main concern. |
Common mistakes
-
Assuming chocolate sprinkles come in a glass jar
A glass jar for the table is a separate product from the chocolate sprinkles you want to serve in it. Check the packaging for the product you choose separately.
Choose your chocolate sprinkles first, then check the capacity, opening and food suitability of a separate jar.
You may need a separate jar for serving at the table.
-
Treating small portions and large packs as the same option
A mix of small portions helps keep different varieties separate; a larger pack gives you one supply to decant. According to Albert Heijn, De Ruijter Kleintjes contains eight portions of 15 g and 20 g.
Before choosing a pack, consider how many varieties you want to serve at once and how much you usually use.
-
Throwing away the original packaging after decanting
The packaging has information that helps you identify the exact variety and check its ingredients and allergens. This is especially important if you use several types of chocolate sprinkles.
Keep the packaging until the jar is empty, or keep the product name, best-before date, ingredients and allergen information with the jar.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I find allergen information for chocolate sprinkles?
Check the label on the exact product. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, relevant allergens in prepacked foods must be clearly distinguishable in the ingredients list. Keep this information if you transfer the chocolate sprinkles to another jar.
Do all types of chocolate sprinkles contain the same allergens?
No, check each variety separately. For De Ruijter Kleintjes, Albert Heijn lists milk, lactose and soya in some chocolate varieties, and wheat starch in the fruit sprinkles variety, among other ingredients. Don’t use this information as a substitute for the label on another product.
Are chocolate sprinkles suitable for a sweet breakfast every day?
How often you choose chocolate sprinkles is a separate consideration from choosing a jar or pack. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends not choosing chocolate sprinkles and flakes too often as a topping. Check the nutritional information per 100 g and per portion for your own product.
