Who is this choice relevant to?

Shoppers comparing pack sizes

You want a pack that suits the amount you’ll actually use, without unnecessary leftovers. Jumbo lists De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes in a 270 g pack and whole sprinkles from the same brand in 330 g packs.

Shoppers planning a small celebration or decoration

You’re specifically looking for the fine, crushed texture to sprinkle over bread, crispbread or a dish. In that case, choosing a texture that suits your plans matters more than simply opting for a larger pack.

Shoppers who read labels carefully

You pay attention to ingredients, sugars or allergens. The product listings from Holland Snack Express and WorldwideHolland both mention wheat, but differ on milk, so check the information on the pack you buy.

Common mistakes

  • Choosing a larger pack without considering how much you’ll use

    If you’re only using it once or in small amounts, you could be left with more from a larger pack than you intended.

    Work out how much you’ll need for your bread, crispbread or decoration, then compare pack sizes.

  • Treating crushed and whole sprinkles as the same

    Whole sprinkles don’t have the fine, crushed texture. So a different pack size doesn’t automatically make them suitable for the same use.

    First choose the texture you need, then decide which pack size is right for you.

  • Assuming online allergen information is definitive

    Holland Snack Express and WorldwideHolland both list wheat for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes 270 g, but only WorldwideHolland also lists milk. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains the mandatory allergen declarations on food labels.

    Check the ingredients and allergens on the packaging before use. If you need to check whether it contains milk, don’t rely solely on an online listing.

  • Skipping the nutritional information

    Holland Snack Express lists 79 g of sugars per 100 g for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes 270 g. That figure alone doesn’t tell you how much you’ll have in one serving.

    Check the nutritional information on the packaging and consider your usual portion size when making your choice.
