Regular users
If you often have chocolate sprinkles on bread or use them as a sweet topping, think about whether you can use up a larger pack and store it as instructed on the packaging.
Which option is right for you?
Shoppers checking ingredients
If you’re comparing sugar, fibre or ingredients, read the nutritional information per 100 g. If you have an allergy, check the allergen information on the current packaging for the option you’ve chosen.
Occasional users and shared coffee breaks
A small or shareable pack could be a good fit if you don’t use chocolate sprinkles often or want to offer a choice of varieties. For an assortment, check what each portion contains.
What should you look for when choosing?
First, think about how often you use chocolate sprinkles and whether you want sprinkles, flakes or a mix. Then compare the nutritional information, packaging and portion sizes of the options on your shortlist.
| What to consider | What to check | Who is it most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Pack size | Check the quantity and storage instructions; only choose a large pack if you can use it all. | If I eat chocolate sprinkles regularly, I want a pack that suits my needs without leaving lots over. For around 42% of consumers, getting the most out of the pack is the main consideration. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Compare sugars and other nutritional values per 100 g, and read the ingredients and allergen information on the current pack. | If I have a particular dietary preference or allergy, I want to know exactly what’s in the option I’ve chosen. This is the top priority for around 25% of consumers. |
| Convenient portions | Check the number of portions, the weight per portion and the varieties in a mixed pack. | If I’m sharing chocolate sprinkles or only using them occasionally, I don’t want to open a large pack every time. Around 17% of consumers mainly prioritise small, shareable portions. |
| Flavour and product type | Tell the difference between milk and dark chocolate, sprinkles, flakes and other toppings; check the ingredients of your chosen option. | If flavour or variety determines my choice, a different product type isn’t necessarily a suitable substitute. This preference comes first for around 16% of consumers. |
Common mistakes
-
Assuming dark chocolate contains no milk
Jumbo’s listing for Venz Pure Chocolate Sprinkles says that they contain milk and soya, and may contain lactose. So the flavour name alone doesn’t tell you enough about the allergens in this product.
Read the allergen information on the pack of the exact product you’re buying.
-
Taking a claim on the front as the full nutritional picture
Albert Heijn lists AH Dark Chocolate Sprinkles, Less Sugar as containing 43 g of sugars per 100 g. One claim doesn’t replace the rest of the nutritional information and ingredients list.
Compare the nutritional values per 100 g with those of the chocolate sprinkles you’d otherwise choose, and check the allergens too.
-
Assuming all small portions contain the same chocolate sprinkles
De Ruijter Kleintjes contains flakes and fruit sprinkles as well as chocolate sprinkles. The ingredients and allergens may therefore vary between items.
Before sharing, check which varieties and portions are in the pack.
