Keep mini packs of chocolate sprinkles sealed in the biscuit tin if colleagues use them individually as a topping; don’t pour the contents loose into the tin. Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter Kleintjes as eight portions totalling 140 g, with different types of sprinkles, while Jumbo lists its Strooi Mini's as eight individual packs totalling 140 g. A mixed box offers a choice, but not every type will suit everyone’s tastes. Keep the packaging with the ingredient and allergen information alongside your supplies.
You can set out a sachet for each occasion, so colleagues don’t have to scoop from a single opened pack. Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter Kleintjes as eight portions totalling 140 g; Jumbo lists Strooi Mini's as eight individual packs totalling 140 g. Keep the outer box with the sachets so the product information is to hand.
You want to offer a choice without opening several large packs. According to its product description, De Ruijter Kleintjes contains different types of sprinkles, including chocolate sprinkles, flakes and fruit sprinkles. Check the contents if your team only wants chocolate sprinkles.
You want to match the number of sachets to how they’ll be used and avoid having unused varieties left over. A larger pack may also work at a designated serving point, as long as users can dispense it hygienically and the product information remains available.
First decide whether colleagues need sealed portions or can serve themselves from a designated spot. Then check which types of sprinkles are actually in the pack.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Sealed portions | Check the number of sachets, the total weight and whether each sachet is sealed. Keep the outer box by the serving point. | If I’m setting out chocolate sprinkles for colleagues, I want to offer a sachet for each occasion rather than scoop from an open tub. For around 50% of consumers, sealed portions are the top priority. |
| Choice of varieties | Check which varieties are in the box; a mix containing flakes or fruit sprinkles isn’t exclusively chocolate sprinkles. | When people have different preferences, I want to offer several varieties without having to open a large pack each time. This choice matters most to around 30% of consumers. |
| Stock management | Compare expected usage with the number of portions and decide whether it’s possible to dispense from a larger pack hygienically. | If chocolate sprinkles are used at a designated spot, I want to avoid sachets or unused varieties building up. Stock management is the main consideration for around 20% of consumers. |
Mini packs of chocolate sprinkles are a topping, not individually wrapped biscuits. A biscuit tin can keep the unopened sachets together, but the contents aren’t a ready-to-eat snack.
Leave the sachets sealed and put them somewhere colleagues can use the chocolate sprinkles as a topping.
With a mixed box, it also matters which varieties people will actually use. The number of sachets alone tells you little about what might be left over in the office supplies.
Check what’s in the mix and match the number of portions to how they’ll be used.
If you empty sachets into a shared tin, the ingredient, allergen and shelf-life information is no longer readily available alongside the sprinkles.
Keep the original packaging with your supplies, or keep an up-to-date card showing the ingredients and allergens by the tin. Leave the sachets sealed if that information would otherwise no longer be available.
Kleintjes is a mixed box of small portions for anyone looking to offer different types of sprinkles.
Strooi Mini's is worth considering if you’re looking for a pack with eight individual sachets.
AH Strooi mini's is a separate mini option in Albert Heijn’s range.
It’s best to keep the sachets sealed in the tin and serve the chocolate sprinkles as a topping. Pouring out the contents means you lose the individual portions, and the product information is no longer readily available alongside the sprinkles.
Keep the ingredient and allergen information for your chosen chocolate sprinkles accessible alongside your supplies. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, allergen information for prepacked foods appears on the label; the authority describes other ways to provide this information for non-prepacked foods. If you keep the sachets sealed, retain the original packaging. If you pour out the contents, make sure the latest information stays by the tin.
Store Jumbo Strooi Mini's in a cool, dry place, as stated in Jumbo’s product listing. Check the bottom of the packaging for the best-before date.
No. A sachet sets the amount you put out, but it doesn’t change the nutritional value of the chocolate sprinkles. If you want to compare products, check the nutritional information per 100 g and per portion on the packaging of the variety you’ve chosen.
