For Sunday breakfast, choose chocolate sprinkles for your rusks whose packaging or current product page explicitly states Fairtrade for the exact variant. Albert Heijn lists this attribute for Fairtrade Original Hagelslag Puur 380 g. Also check the allergen and nutrition information: according to Fairtrade Original, this variant may contain milk, while the Voedingscentrum points out that chocolate sprinkles are high in sugars and saturated fat.
You want a verifiable Fairtrade label on the chocolate sprinkles you serve at Sunday breakfast. Check the exact product variant: a dark chocolate flavour or a different sustainability label does not mean the same thing.
