Lunchbox and sharing planners
If you want to split your supplies between two groups, bags or lunch breaks in advance, two separate packs are handy. Albert Heijn states that De Ruijter 2-packs contain two items supplied separately.
Which pack is right for you?
Groups sharing one supply
If everyone can help themselves from the same supply, you could consider a single box. Jumbo and ALDI, for example, offer chocolate sprinkles in 300 g boxes.
Shoppers choosing for different tastes and allergies
If your group has different preferences or allergies, the exact variety matters more than the pack format alone. Check the ingredients and allergens on the packaging you’re actually taking with you.
What should you look for when choosing?
First, decide whether you need two separate supplies or want to share one box. Then check the flavour, quantity and label for the variety you’ve chosen.
| What to consider | What to check | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Splitting supplies in advance | Check how many packs there are and whether they’re supplied separately. | If you’re preparing for two lunch breaks, you’ll want to take one pack for each. For around 33% of consumers, separate packs are the top priority. |
| Sharing one supply | Check the quantity per box and whether one box will be enough for your group. | If you’re sharing at one table, there’s no need to split the supply in advance. Around 27% of consumers prioritise having one shared supply. |
| Variety of flavours | Check which flavours are in the box and how many grams it contains. | If several people are choosing from the same box, a mix of flavours may matter more than having two separate packs. For around 20% of consumers, variety comes first. |
| Label and storage | Read the allergens and storage instructions for the variety you buy. | If people attending need to consider ingredients or allergens, I want to be able to check the packaging before sharing. For around 20% of consumers, checking the label is the top priority. |
Common mistakes
-
Assuming a 2-pack contains individual portions
Albert Heijn states that De Ruijter 2-packs contain two separate items. So you get two packs, but not necessarily small portions for each lunchbox.
Check the number of items and the quantity in each one. Plan how you’ll divide the chocolate sprinkles between the lunchboxes yourself.
-
Sharing a flavour mix without checking the label
According to the product information, Venz Rimboe contains wheat, soya and milk. The same information states that the shapes are not suitable for children under 3.
Choose the exact variety to suit those attending, and check the allergens and any age warning on the packaging just before use.

Frequently asked questions
Does a De Ruijter 2-pack come divided into small portions?
No, don’t assume it does: Albert Heijn states that it contains two items supplied separately. A 2-pack is handy if you want to take two packs with you; you’ll need to divide them into individual lunchbox portions yourself.
Do chocolate sprinkles need to be kept in the fridge during a street festival?
Follow the storage instructions on the pack you’ve bought rather than assuming it needs to be chilled. Several of the chocolate sprinkle products listed say to store in a cool, dry place, so keep the box out of direct sunlight and away from rain and damp.
What should I check if someone has a food allergy?
Before sharing, check the label on the exact variety you’ve bought. According to the relevant product information, PLUS dark chocolate sprinkles may contain milk and lactose, Choca contains wheat and soya and may contain milk, while Venz Rimboe contains wheat, soya and milk.
Are chocolate sprinkles enough for a group’s lunch?
Chocolate sprinkles are a bread topping, not a complete lunch on their own. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre classifies them as a sweet bread topping to enjoy occasionally, so plan other parts of the lunch too.
What if I’m selling rolls with chocolate sprinkles at the festival?
When selling at markets and events, food must be prepared, sold and stored safely and hygienically, according to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority. Check which rules apply to your sales activities and location, as well as the organiser’s requirements.
