If you’re looking for chocolate sprinkles for one school lunch, a pre-measured sachet is a better fit than a large pack you have to portion out yourself. Albert Heijn lists a De Ruijter pack containing 120 sachets of 20 g: these are portions of chocolate sprinkles to scatter over bread, not edible bars or individual sachets sold separately. If you’re after a bar to enjoy as a snack, look in the chocolate bar category. If you want sprinkles, check the quantity and the label for the exact variant.
If you want to use one measured portion of chocolate sprinkles for a school lunch, check the difference between a sachet and a box of sachets. Albert Heijn lists a De Ruijter pack with 120 portions of 20 g. These are sprinkles for bread, not a bar.
If you use chocolate sprinkles for several lunches, you can measure out the amount yourself from a standard pack. Jumbo’s range includes packs of 200 g, 380 g and 600 g. Choose a size that suits how much you use and the storage instructions.
If you’re comparing variants for allergens, sugars or sweeteners, read the label for the exact product you’re choosing. The De Ruijter Intens Puur variant we looked at lists milk and soya; Jumbo’s listing for Céréal Hagelslag Puur also mentions polyols and a warning about excessive consumption.
First decide whether you want a measured portion for bread or would rather serve yourself from a pack. Then compare the label for your chosen variant with your preferences for ingredients and storage.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important to? |
|---|---|---|
| One portion for one lunch | Check how many sachets there are, the contents of each sachet and whether you’re buying a whole box. | I want to pack chocolate sprinkles without measuring them out for every lunch; portion convenience is the top priority for around 50% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Check the allergens on the label for the exact variant and compare sugars and polyols per 100 g. | When choosing, I want to know which ingredients and warnings apply to this variant; around 30% of consumers prioritise weighing up the ingredients. |
| Quantity and storage | Compare the net weight with how much you use, and read the storage instructions on the pack. | If I’m making several lunches from one pack, I want a size that suits how much we use; for around 20% of consumers, pack size is the main consideration. |
The pack listed by Albert Heijn contains 120 sachets of chocolate sprinkles, each weighing 20 g. It isn’t a grab-and-go snack to eat like a bar.
Before choosing, decide whether you’re looking for a bread topping or a ready-to-eat bar; they’re different product categories.
Jumbo lists 7,7 g of sugars and 40 g of polyols per 100 g for Céréal Hagelslag Puur. The product contains maltitols and carries a warning that excessive consumption may have a laxative effect.
Compare the sweeteners too, and read the warnings on the pack for the variant you choose.
The De Ruijter Intens Puur variant we looked at lists milk and soya, while the Venz milk and vanilla variant we looked at also lists wheat. This information doesn’t necessarily apply to other variants from the same brands.

No. The De Ruijter portions listed by Albert Heijn are sachets of chocolate sprinkles for bread, supplied in packs of 120 sachets weighing 20 g each. If you’re looking for a ready-to-eat bar, you’ll need to look in a different product category.
A portion sachet is useful if you want to prepare a measured amount of chocolate sprinkles in advance. Just consider whether a box of 120 sachets suits how much you use; with a standard pack, you can measure out the amount yourself at home.
Follow the storage instructions on the pack you choose. The De Ruijter product information we looked at says to store in a cool, dry place; Jumbo’s listing for the Céréal variant we looked at says to store in a dry place at room temperature.
Check the ingredients and allergen information on the current pack of the exact variant. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority stresses the importance of food information in preventing allergic reactions; details from another flavour or an older product page are no substitute for the label.
