What should you look for when buying?

For a work meeting, the key factors are the mark on your chosen variant, allergen information and the quantity you need.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Fairtrade mark Check for the mark on both the product page and the packaging of your chosen variant. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list Fairtrade for Fairtrade Original Puur 380 g. If Fairtrade is a strict requirement for our work meeting, I want to be able to point to the mark on the packaging. This would be the top priority for around 42% of consumers.
Allergens Read the ingredients and warnings on the pack you receive. According to Fairtrade Original, its dark variant may contain milk. If colleagues need to avoid something strictly, I want to know before serving whether the warning is relevant to them. Allergens would be the main concern for around 33% of consumers.
Quantity and storage Match the number of packs to your planned use, and check the contents and storage instructions on the label. Fairtrade Original Puur is listed in a 380 g pack. For a meeting, I want to buy enough chocolate sprinkles without opening more packs than necessary. This practical planning would take priority for around 25% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Confusing Rainforest Alliance with Fairtrade

    Albert Heijn lists Rainforest Alliance-certified cocoa for Venz Puur, while ALDI lists Rainforest Alliance for its De Ruijter chocolate sprinkles. This does not confirm that those specific variants carry the Fairtrade mark.

    If Fairtrade is a condition of purchase, check which mark appears on the chocolate sprinkles packaging itself.

  • Assuming ‘dark’ means ‘dairy-free’

    Fairtrade Original states that its dark chocolate sprinkles may contain milk. So a dark variant is not necessarily suitable for someone who needs to avoid milk strictly.

    Read the ingredients and the warning on the packaging. If milk must be avoided, check with the person concerned in advance to find out which option is suitable.

  • Planning to buy a milk variant without checking availability

    Albert Heijn lists the milk variant of Fairtrade Original as no longer in its range. So don’t count on that product listing for your meeting.

    Before buying, check the current variant and its availability at the shop where you plan to order or collect it.
