If staff use sprinkles on bread or yoghurt, De Ruijter Kleintjes Strooibaar offers eight individual portions that can be handed out one per person. The box also contains chocolate sprinkles and fruit sprinkles, so it isn’t just chocolate flakes. For a biscuit tin where staff want to grab something to eat straight away, sprinkles aren’t suitable: choose a separately reviewed, bite-sized snack instead.
You want to give each person a topping portion without having to open the same shared box repeatedly. Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter Kleintjes as a box of eight small portions; check which toppings are included before buying.
You provide bread, yoghurt, porridge or breakfast cereal and are looking for sprinkles to add on top. A standard box may work for a shared area, as long as it’s sealed properly after use.
You want to offer staff something they can eat straight away, without a plate or anything to put it on. A bite-sized snack is a better choice than loose sprinkles; Jumbo also lists mini biscuits as a separate product category.
First decide whether your office needs a topping for breakfast or lunch, or a snack that can be eaten straight from the tin. Only then compare individual portions with a shared box.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Individual portions | Check the number of portions, the weight of each one and whether the box contains only chocolate sprinkles or other toppings too. | If I want to give each member of staff a topping portion, I don’t want to keep serving it from the same open box. Around 46% of consumers prioritise individual portions. |
| Suitable for the biscuit tin | Check whether bread, yoghurt or another base for the sprinkles is available; if not, compare snacks that can be eaten straight away. | If you want to grab something from the tin without a plate or preparation, loose sandwich topping isn’t much use. For around 36% of consumers, being able to eat it straight away is the main priority. |
| Shared supply | Compare pack sizes and consider where an opened box can be stored in a dry place and sealed properly. | For a breakfast area used every day, I want to be able to top up and store a shared supply. Around 18% of consumers give this their highest priority. |
Sprinkles are a topping for bread or other food. Without bread, yoghurt or something similar, they’re no practical substitute for a snack that someone can eat straight from the tin.
For a breakfast or lunch area, set out portions of sprinkles; for a regular biscuit tin, assess separately which bite-sized snacks are suitable.
According to the product information, De Ruijter Kleintjes Strooibaar combines chocolate flakes with chocolate sprinkles and fruit sprinkles. This matters if you specifically want to offer chocolate flakes.
Check what’s in the box and note on the office order whether a mixed selection is acceptable.
Ingredients and allergen information can change. Albert Heijn points out that the information on a product’s packaging may differ from what was shown previously.
Check the label on each new delivery and make the information available whenever the product is shared.
The Kleintjes Strooibaar range is worth considering when you need individually portioned toppings. Albert Heijn lists a 140 g box containing eight portions.
The Venz sprinkle products listed by Albert Heijn and Jumbo come in standard packs for shared use at breakfast or lunch.
Albert Heijn and Jumbo list 200 g packs of Choca sprinkles as an option for a shared supply.
Jumbo lists standard 300 g boxes of chocolate flakes, including dark, milk and duo-mix varieties, for a shared breakfast area.
ALDI Netherlands lists Kiekeboe chocolate flakes in milk or dark varieties, in a 300 g pack.
These are bite-sized alternatives for the biscuit tin, not sprinkles for bread or yoghurt, and not mini biscuits either. Note the difference between a small snack and a genuinely individually wrapped portion.
