Organisers setting up self-service
Will attendees be helping themselves to chocolate sprinkles? Individual portions mean they won’t all need to handle the same pack. Check how many portions you’ll need for the meeting.
Who are the different pack types suitable for?
Organisers of larger groups
Are you buying for a large group, and can someone serve the sprinkles? In that case, you could consider a larger shaker pack, as long as the quantity suits the group and the serving area stays organised.
Organisers who make product information available
If you’re serving food to colleagues or guests, make sure they can check the ingredients and allergens in the chocolate sprinkles you’ve chosen. This takes extra care if you decant the contents from the original packaging.
What should you consider when choosing?
First, decide whether attendees will help themselves or someone will serve the chocolate sprinkles. Then make sure the quantity and access to product information are right for the meeting.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Self-service | Check the number of individual portions and the amount in each portion. | If everyone is helping themselves, I don’t want all the attendees touching the same opening. For around 42% of consumers, low-contact self-service is the top priority. |
| Quantity for the group | Compare the net weight with the number of attendees and decide who will serve the chocolate sprinkles. | For a larger group, I want to have enough chocolate sprinkles ready without having to open a new pack each time. Around 33% of consumers put the quantity they need first. |
| Flavour and allergens | Read the ingredients and allergen information on the current label for each variety you choose. | When I offer different flavours, I want attendees to be able to see what each variety contains. For around 25% of consumers, this product information is the top priority. |
Common mistakes
-
Assuming a search term confirms the packaging type
The term ‘chocolate sprinkles squeeze bottle’ doesn’t, by itself, tell you anything about the packaging of a specific product. Decanting the contents into your own bottle also separates them from the original label.
If you’re looking for a squeeze bottle, check the full product name, net weight, ingredients, allergens and a clear description of the packaging type. If you can’t verify these details, choose based on the portion size or opt for a standard shaker pack.
-
Choosing portions without checking how many are included
Individual portions make serving simple, but the number in a pack still needs to be enough for the attendees who want chocolate sprinkles.
Check the number of portions and the amount in each one. According to Albert Heijn, De Ruijter Kleintjes contains eight small portions; work out how many packs you’ll need for your meeting.
-
Throwing away the original packaging too soon
If you put chocolate sprinkles in another jar or bottle, attendees can no longer check the ingredients and allergens on the label alongside the product.
Keep the original packaging by the serving area or make sure the current product information is clearly available there. Check the information again if you use a different variety.
Brands worth considering
De Ruijter
As well as its standard chocolate sprinkles, De Ruijter offers Kleintjes in individual portions.
- Albert Heijn lists eight small portions for Kleintjes, with portion sizes of 15 g and 20 g.
- Check how many portions you need; the chocolate sprinkles are still a product for sprinkling, not for dispensing from a squeeze bottle.
Venz
Venz is worth looking at if you want to compare standard chocolate sprinkles and different flavours.
- Jumbo lists products including Venz Puur Chocolade Hagelslag in a 400 g pack.
- For self-service, a shared pack needs to be served thoughtfully; check the current label for each flavour.
Jumbo
Jumbo has its own 600 g chocolate sprinkle varieties, which you could consider when buying for a larger group.
- Jumbo’s range includes milk chocolate sprinkles and duo sprinkles in 600 g packs.
- If you choose a larger pack, decide who will serve it and how attendees can check the information for the variety you’ve chosen.

Frequently asked questions
Can I choose a chocolate sprinkles squeeze bottle for a work meeting?
Only choose one if you can confirm that the specific product is genuinely a squeeze bottle containing chocolate sprinkles. Before buying, check the packaging type, net weight, ingredients and allergens; for self-service, you could also consider individual portions.
What should I choose if everyone will help themselves to chocolate sprinkles?
Individual portions are a good fit for self-service if you want to avoid everyone handling the same pack. Albert Heijn lists eight small portions for De Ruijter Kleintjes; check that this is enough and keep the product information available.
What allergen information should I keep by the serving area?
Make the information for the chocolate sprinkles you’re actually serving easy to access, so attendees can check the allergens in each variety. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, allergen information for prepacked foods is on the label; when unwrapped food is offered to consumers, information about any allergens present must be available. For a work meeting, keep the packaging or current information by the product.
What if I put the chocolate sprinkles in my own jar or bottle?
Make sure the contents are easy to identify and that attendees can check the corresponding ingredients and allergens. Keep the original packaging by the serving area and check that your own container is clean, dry and suitable for food.
