Which pack works best for you?

Students who want a ready-measured portion

If you want to add one sachet to bread, yoghurt or porridge during a study break, an individual portion makes the amount clear. Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter Kleintjes sachets in 15 and 20 g sizes.

Students who prefer to serve their own portions at home

If you use chocolate sprinkles regularly and want to keep one flavour at home, a standard box could be a good option. You can decide how much to use each time.

Buyers checking ingredients and allergens

If a product needs to fit your dietary choices, read the label for the exact variety. Jumbo lists milk, soya and wheat among the ingredients in De Ruijter Kleintjes; PLUS warns that its dark chocolate sprinkles may contain milk and lactose.

What should you look for when choosing?

Before choosing a snack for exam revision, decide whether a measured portion matters more than being able to serve your own. Then check that the contents and ingredients suit what you have in mind.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Individual portions Check how many sachets there are, the amount in each one and which types of sprinkles they contain. Albert Heijn lists four 15 g portions and four 20 g portions in De Ruijter Kleintjes. I want to set aside one sachet for my study break without having an open box next to me. For around 45% of consumers, having a portion clearly set out is the priority.
Choosing your own amount and flavour Choose a standard box if you want to decide how much to use; check whether the variety contains milk or dark chocolate sprinkles. I use sprinkles more often at home and want the same type each time, even if I have to decide on the portion myself. This is the main consideration for around 33% of consumers.
Ingredients and allergens Read the ingredients list and allergen information on the exact pack. A label such as dark or vegan is no substitute for checking. I want to know whether the ingredients and allergens fit my dietary choices before buying a pack. This is the priority for around 22% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a mini selection contains only chocolate sprinkles

    According to Jumbo’s product information, De Ruijter Kleintjes contains chocolate sprinkles in milk and dark varieties, as well as chocolate hundreds and thousands and fruit sprinkles. So not every sachet contains the same type of topping.

    Check what’s included in the selection before buying. If you want only chocolate sprinkles, choose a pack whose product description matches.

  • Assuming a label such as dark or vegan means allergen-free

    PLUS labels its dark chocolate sprinkles as vegan, but also states that they may contain milk and lactose. The allergens in De Ruijter Kleintjes differ from those in this PLUS variety.

    Read the current ingredients list and allergen information for the product you’re buying, even if the flavour name or a label seems suitable.

  • Looking only at the size of the sachet

    A measured sachet tells you how much topping it contains, not its nutritional value. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre lists 10.4 g of sugars in a typical 15 g portion of chocolate sprinkles; this figure won’t apply to every variety.

    Compare the nutritional information per 100 g and, if provided, per portion on the pack you plan to use.

Frequently asked questions

What does a mini pack tell me about its nutritional value?

The size of the pack alone tells you nothing about the nutritional value of its contents. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre lists 68 kcal and 10.4 g of sugars in a typical 15 g portion of chocolate sprinkles; check the label for the values for your variety.

How much is in De Ruijter Kleintjes Strooibaar?

According to Albert Heijn, the 140 g pack contains eight portions: four 15 g sachets and four 20 g sachets. Jumbo says the selection includes different types of sprinkles, including chocolate sprinkles, chocolate hundreds and thousands, and fruit sprinkles.

Are vegan dark chocolate sprinkles suitable for someone with a milk allergy?

A vegan label isn’t enough to tell you: PLUS states that its dark chocolate sprinkles may contain milk and lactose. Check the current allergen information on the exact pack.

How should I store sprinkles after opening?

Store them in a cool, dry place and reseal the pack after use. Follow any specific storage instructions on the pack you buy.
