Which pack is right for you?

For sharing across several lunchboxes

Want to split your supply between people or occasions without taking the same opened box with you? Albert Heijn describes De Ruijter 2-packs supplied as two separate packs.

For brunch shoppers who want one shared supply

One box may be enough for a shared King’s Day breakfast or brunch. Jumbo and PLUS each list chocolate sprinkles in a 300 g box, although the flavours and ingredients differ.

For anyone checking the labels

If ingredients or allergens matter to your choice, check the exact product. Product information from Jumbo and PLUS shows that sprinkles with different flavours or descriptions should also be checked individually.

What should you look for when choosing?

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Separate boxes Check that the 2-pack contains two individual packs and how many grams are in each one. If I’m filling several lunchboxes or want to keep one box separate, I want to be able to split the supply without opening everything at once. This is the top priority for around 43% of consumers.
Shared quantity Compare the total amount with what you plan to use for breakfast or brunch. A 300 g box is one pack format, not a 2-pack. For one table, a shared box may be enough, making separate packs less important. Around 29% of consumers give a shared supply the highest priority.
Flavour and label Check the flavour combination and read the ingredients and allergen information for the exact product you’ve chosen. When flavours or allergens matter, I don’t want to rely on the name or colour of the sprinkles. For around 28% of consumers, the suitability of the product is the main consideration.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a 2-pack is a flavour mix

    The De Ruijter 2-packs described by Albert Heijn contain two individual packs of the same variety. Two boxes don’t automatically mean two flavours.

    Read the description for each pack. If you’re looking for a mix in one box, check that the combination is explicitly stated. Jumbo describes its Duo Vlokken Mix as a combination of chocolate and white sprinkles.

  • Assuming a vegan label means it’s suitable for people with a milk allergy

    PLUS labels its dark chocolate sprinkles as vegan, but also states that they may contain milk and lactose. The vegan label does not replace the allergen information.

    If you have an allergy, read the full statement on the packaging of the exact product before choosing it.

  • Assuming a temporary offer will be available for every King’s Day

    ALDI lists a promotion on 200 g packs of De Ruijter sprinkles from 9 October 2026, while stocks last. This offer says nothing about the range available around the next King’s Day.

    Check for temporary offers shortly before you shop, and choose a pack that suits your plans even without the offer.

Relevant brands and retailers

De Ruijter

A brand to consider if you’re looking for a particular flavour of sprinkles or a festive variety.

  • Jumbo lists options including milk, dark, white, Feestvlokken and Royaal, in a selection ranging from 140 g to 240 g.
  • Check the size of the product you choose: a single box and a 2-pack aren’t designed to split your supply in the same way.

Albert Heijn

Worth considering if you’re looking for a De Ruijter 2-pack with two separate packs.

  • Albert Heijn describes 2-packs of the milk and white varieties, each containing two 200 g packs.
  • Each pack mentioned contains the same variety, so check the packaging if you want different flavours.

Jumbo

A useful option if you want to compare a flavour mix in one box with separate packs.

  • According to Jumbo, its 300 g Jumbo Duo Vlokken Mix contains equal quantities of chocolate and white sprinkles.
  • Jumbo states that this mix may contain gluten, milk and wheat. Check the label on the pack you choose.

PLUS

A relevant option if a 300 g box of dark chocolate sprinkles suits your shared supply.

  • PLUS describes a 300 g box of dark chocolate sprinkles.
  • The product page includes both a vegan label and a warning that the product may contain milk and lactose.

ALDI

A retailer to check for temporary offers on sprinkles shortly before you shop.

  • ALDI lists a temporary offer on a 200 g pack of De Ruijter sprinkles from 9 October 2026.
  • The offer is available while stocks last, so it isn’t a guaranteed option for the next King’s Day.

Frequently asked questions

Is a 2-pack of sprinkles always better for lunchboxes?

No. A 2-pack is particularly useful if you want two separate boxes. Albert Heijn describes De Ruijter 2-packs containing two individual 200 g packs. If one shared supply is enough, you could also consider a 300 g box.

Does a 2-pack contain two different flavours?

Not in the milk and white De Ruijter 2-packs described by Albert Heijn: each pack contains two items of the same variety. If you’re looking for different flavours in one box, check the ingredients. Jumbo describes its Duo Vlokken Mix as a mix of chocolate and white sprinkles.

Which allergens should I check in chocolate sprinkles?

Read the allergen information on the exact pack, as it varies between products. For its Duo Vlokken Mix, Jumbo states that it may contain gluten, milk and wheat. PLUS states that its dark chocolate sprinkles may contain milk and lactose. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says that allergens must be listed on the labels of prepacked foods.

How should I store an opened box of sprinkles after King’s Day?

Seal the pack well after use and follow the storage instructions and best-before date on the box. If you don’t need all the sprinkles at once, you can keep the second pack in a 2-pack sealed.
