For a purely savoury snack platter, chocolate sprinkles are no substitute for savoury nibbles; if you like, serve them separately as a sweet finish. If you want to choose Fairtrade, check the mark and claim on the pack you buy. A Fairtrade mark says nothing about nutritional value or allergens, and Albert Heijn lists the Fairtrade Original sprinkles we found as no longer in its range.
Would you like to serve something sweet alongside savoury nibbles? Albert Heijn categorises sprinkles as a sweet bread topping. A separate bowl or a sweet finish gives them a clearer place than among the savoury snacks.
If the Fairtrade status of the cocoa is a deciding factor, check the mark and the accompanying claim on the packaging of the variant you choose. Fairtrade International uses different marks for different types of products.
If you’re serving guests with different dietary requirements, read the label on the pack you’re using. Jumbo states that its Chocolade Vlokken Puur 300 g may contain milk and contains 12,7 g of sugars per 20 g serving; these details don’t automatically apply to other sprinkles.
First decide whether you want a separate sweet option alongside the savoury snacks. Then compare the Fairtrade claim, ingredients and nutritional information on the pack you’ll actually be serving.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Fairtrade status | Check the Fairtrade mark and read the current pack to see which ingredients the claim applies to. Another certification mark is not proof of Fairtrade. | I want to be able to check the Fairtrade claim on my pack, so I don’t mistake another certification mark for Fairtrade; this is a top priority for around 37% of consumers. |
| Sweet alongside savoury | Choose between a purely savoury platter and a separate sweet option. Sprinkles are sold as a sweet bread topping, not as a savoury snack. | For a savoury snack platter, I only want to offer sprinkles separately as a sweet finish, so guests know what to expect; this serving choice matters most to around 36% of consumers. |
| Nutritional information and allergens | Read the ingredients, allergen information and nutritional values for the exact variant; compare the figures per 100 g and per serving if needed. | If guests are mindful of ingredients, I want to know what this pack says about allergens and nutritional value before serving; checking the label is the top priority for around 27% of consumers. |
