| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |

| Flavour and texture | Check whether it’s milk chocolate, dark chocolate or a mix, and look at the shape of the sprinkles if you have a particular variety in mind. | I’d rather choose a flavour my guests enjoy than automatically go for the biggest pack. Flavour or texture is the deciding factor for around 30% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the label for the variety you’ve chosen, including any warnings about cross-contamination. | If a guest has an allergy, I need to know what’s in the chocolate sprinkles before serving them. Checking ingredients and allergens is the main concern for around 20% of consumers. |
| Serving size and nutritional value | Compare the serving size and nutritional information per 100 g and per serving. | I want guests to decide for themselves how much sweet spread or topping to have. Around 20% of consumers are most concerned about serving sizes and sugar. |

Compare the net weight and use the stated number of servings, if provided, to work out whether one pack will be enough for your group.
Ingredients vary from product to product. For example, the product information for De Ruijter Royaal extra puur lists milk and soya; that doesn’t mean every other type of chocolate sprinkles contains them.
Read the label on the pack you’ve bought before serving, even if you’ve used a different pack from the same brand before.
