Choose individual portions if you want to take a sealed pack for each breakfast and don’t mind a mix of toppings: according to Albert Heijn’s product listing, De Ruijter Kleintjes contains eight portions of chocolate sprinkles and flakes. A standard 200 g pack, such as the Choca and Venz varieties listed by Jumbo, suits anyone who wants to portion out flakes themselves on several occasions. Before you travel, also check the allergens on your chosen pack and the import rules for your destination.
If you’d rather not open a larger pack each time, individual portions are practical. According to Albert Heijn, De Ruijter Kleintjes contains eight portions; choose it only if a mix of chocolate sprinkles and flakes works for your breakfast.
If you’re having flakes with bread or another breakfast base at different times, you can portion them out yourself from a 200 g pack. Jumbo lists 200 g varieties from Choca and Venz, as well as 300 g packs of Jumbo flakes. The smaller pack doesn’t mean the contents are individually portioned.
Read the allergen information for the exact variety you’re taking with you. The Choca and Venz varieties listed by Jumbo include ingredients such as milk, soya, wheat or cereals containing gluten; ingredients vary by product.
First decide whether you need sealed portions or would rather portion the flakes out yourself. Then check your chosen variety and what you’re allowed to bring into your destination.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Individual portions | Check the number of portions and whether the contents are only the type of flakes you want. Albert Heijn lists eight portions in the mixed De Ruijter Kleintjes pack. | I want to take a sealed portion for each breakfast without opening the rest; portion control is a priority for around 42% of consumers. |
| A compact supply | Compare the net weight and type of packaging. Jumbo lists 200 g packs of Choca and Venz, and 300 g packs of Jumbo flakes. | If I eat flakes at different times, I’d rather take one smaller supply and portion it out myself; around 33% of consumers prioritise this need. |
| Ingredients and travel rules | Read the allergen information for the exact variety and check your destination’s import rules. Schiphol distinguishes between food and liquid or spreadable products in its hand luggage guidance. | If I have dietary restrictions or am travelling abroad, I want to know before departure what applies to me and my destination; for around 25% of consumers, this is the top priority. |
According to Albert Heijn’s product information, De Ruijter Kleintjes also contains chocolate sprinkles. Individual portions don’t necessarily mean that every sachet contains the same type of flakes.
Check what’s in the portions before you choose. If you want only one type of flakes, look for a pack that clearly states which variety it contains.
Flakes are used as a topping or spread; without bread or another base, they won’t make the breakfast you had planned.
Pack a suitable base separately. If you want to eat the flakes with yoghurt or porridge, remember to bring a spoon too.
Pack size tells you nothing about the ingredients. The Choca and Venz varieties listed by Jumbo include ingredients such as milk, soya, wheat or cereals containing gluten.
Check the current ingredients and allergen information on the pack of the exact flavour you’re buying.
Schiphol explains what you can take through security in your hand luggage, but also notes that countries have their own rules for importing food.
Before you travel, check both Schiphol’s hand luggage rules and the official import rules for your destination country.
De Ruijter Kleintjes is worth considering if you’re looking for individual portions. Albert Heijn lists eight portions in this pack.
Jumbo lists a 200 g Choca flakes mix for anyone who wants to portion flakes out of one pack.
The Rimboe Tiger variety listed by Jumbo comes in a 200 g pack and contains milk and vanilla flakes.
Jumbo lists its own chocolate flakes in 300 g packs, which are a good choice if you want a larger supply to use or share.
These three 200 g packs are suitable if you want to take flakes for several breakfasts or topping occasions. If you need an unopened portion for each occasion, check the type of packaging before buying.

According to Schiphol, food can generally be taken in hand luggage, but always follow the instructions given by staff at security. Liquid and spreadable foods are subject to different rules, so check these separately if you’re taking a topping or breakfast base as well as flakes.
First check the rules for liquids in hand luggage. Schiphol states that liquid and spreadable foods are covered by these rules, so the rules for a breakfast base like this aren’t automatically the same as those for flakes.
No, flakes are used as a topping or spread. Bring bread or another base if you want to put together a breakfast while you’re travelling, and remember a spoon if you’re having them with yoghurt or porridge.
Read the allergen information on the pack of the exact variety you’re buying. The Choca and Venz varieties listed by Jumbo include ingredients such as milk, soya, wheat or cereals containing gluten; don’t assume that another flavour or pack has the same ingredients.
