Who would find a large pack useful?

Groups preparing sandwiches for a walk

If you’re making sandwiches for several walkers, you can work out how much you’ll need in advance. A large pack is especially handy if you can also store the leftovers securely after the walk.

Large families who eat chocolate sprinkles regularly

A 600 g pack is worth considering if your household can use that amount before its best-before date. As well as checking the quantity, look at the flavour you’ve chosen and the storage advice.

Walkers who need to check ingredients

If you have an allergy or intolerance, or follow a specific diet, check the current label before considering the pack size. Milk, lactose and soya are listed for various products reviewed; information varies by product.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, work out how many sandwiches you want to make and what you’ll do with the rest of the pack. Then consider how the chocolate sprinkles fit into your walking provisions, and check the ingredients and allergen information for the variety you’ve chosen.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Pack size and storage Compare the net quantity with how much you’ll use, and check the best-before date and storage advice. If I’m making lots of sandwiches at once, I want to use one pack without leaving the rest open for long. For an estimated 42% of consumers in this shopping context, pack size and stock are the main things to consider.
Provisions for the walk Decide what to take alongside your bread and chocolate sprinkles, and make sure you have drinks. On a walk, I don’t want to rely on sweet sandwich filling alone, especially if the route is longer. That’s why around 33% of consumers put the contents of their walking provisions first.
Ingredients and allergens Read the current label for your chosen variety, including its allergen information. If I need to avoid an ingredient, the filling has to be suitable before I consider the pack size. This is the top buying priority for an estimated 25% of consumers.

Common choices worth reconsidering

  • Thinking a large pack is all you need for a walk

    Chocolate sprinkles are a sandwich topping. Wandel.nl advises eating small amounts regularly and drinking enough during a walk; bread with a topping doesn’t have to make up your entire supply of provisions.

    Plan to take drinks and other lunch items or snacks too, according to the walk you’re going on.

  • Buying more than you’ll use

    A 600 g pack isn’t automatically the most convenient choice for a small group. After making the sandwiches, you’ll still need to store and use the rest according to the label.

    Estimate how many sandwiches you’ll make in advance and choose a pack that also suits how much you use at home.

  • Trusting the brand without checking the label

    Allergens vary between products. Albert Heijn lists milk and soya, and possible traces of lactose, for De Ruijter Chocoladehagel Puur; AH Hagelslag XL Puur lists milk and lactose.

    Check the ingredients and allergens on the packaging you’re actually using every time you buy.

  • Taking an opened pack with you unprotected

    Moisture and a poorly sealed pack are inconvenient both in your rucksack and when storing the rest at home. For AH Hagelslag XL Puur, Albert Heijn advises keeping it in a cool, dark and dry place.

    Take only the amount you need in a dry, securely sealed container, and store the rest according to the label.

Is 600 g of chocolate sprinkles a catering pack?

A 600 g pack is a large consumer pack, but its size alone doesn’t make it a professional catering product. Jumbo and ALDI list packs of this size; if you’re buying for a walking group, check whether the quantity suits the number of sandwiches and how much you’ll use afterwards.
