Choose a pack with individual portions if you’d like to offer a little sweet treat on bread, rusks or dessert at a Dutch stamppot dinner, without opening a large pack. Albert Heijn, Jumbo and De Ruijter each list eight portions, but the quantities and types of sprinkles vary. If any guests have allergies, always check the label on the exact pack.
After the stamppot, you might want to offer something sweet on bread, rusks, yoghurt or dessert, without putting a large pack on the table. According to their product information, the mini packs from Albert Heijn, Jumbo and De Ruijter each contain eight portions.
You want to give guests a choice of sprinkles, flakes or coloured sprinkles, for example, without opening a large pack of each. The mini packs mentioned combine different types of sprinkles.
You want to know how much is in a portion, or need to take an allergy into account. Compare portion sizes and read the allergen information on the exact pack; the ingredients vary between ranges.
First, decide whether individual portions are useful for your sweet treat. Then compare the types of sprinkles and check the label before serving.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Individual portions | Check the number of sachets and the amount in each one. Albert Heijn lists eight portions of 18 g; De Ruijter lists portions of 15 g and 20 g. | I want to serve a measured amount for a small sweet treat and keep the rest sealed. For around 50% of consumers with this plan, portion control comes first. |
| Choice of varieties | Check which chocolate sprinkles, flakes or coloured sprinkles are actually included in the mix. | If guests want different flavours, I’d rather choose one mixed range than several large packs. For around 30% of these consumers, variety is the top priority. |
| Ingredients and nutritional information | Check the allergens, ingredients and nutritional values on the exact pack; also look out for differences between portions in a mix. | If a guest has an allergy, I don’t want to rely on the name of a similar product. Checking the ingredients is the most important factor for around 20% of these consumers. |
In these ranges, ‘mini’ refers to small individual packs. A large mixed pack of chocolate sprinkles doesn’t offer the same pre-portioned servings.
If portion control is your main reason for buying, check the number of sachets and the amount in each portion.
The same number of portions doesn’t mean that each sachet contains the same amount or type of sprinkles.
Compare the portion sizes and the contents of the mix with what you want to offer that evening.
Mini ranges can contain different ingredients in each variety. A flavour name alone won’t tell you whether a portion is suitable for a guest with an allergy.
Read the allergen information on the exact pack before buying and serving. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority states that this information must appear on the label of pre-packed foods.
A portion pack doesn’t change the ingredients or nutritional values of the chocolate sprinkles. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre points out that chocolate sprinkles contain sugar and saturated fat.
Choose how much you want to serve and check the nutritional information on the pack.

Don’t rely on a similar flavour or a pack you’ve bought before.
No, the small size simply helps you measure out a portion; it doesn’t change the ingredients in the chocolate sprinkles. Check the nutritional information per 100 g and, if listed, per portion on the pack you buy.
Follow the best-before date and storage advice on the pack. Albert Heijn and Jumbo’s product information recommends storing the product in a cool, dark and dry place; always check the label on the pack you buy.
