Who is this choice relevant to?

If you want to compare fibre per piece

You’re looking for crispbread to take on your night shift and want to know how much fibre is in one piece, as well as the nutritional values per 100 g. The weight of each piece makes a difference.

If you want to decide how much chocolate sprinkles to use

You want to take crispbread with chocolate sprinkles with you, while keeping track of how much sugar is in the amount of topping you choose. The serving size and nutritional information for the sprinkles are relevant here.

If you check labels for several people

You want to check the ingredients, allergens and storage instructions for both the crispbread and the chocolate sprinkles in advance, for example if colleagues will be sharing the same supplies.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, compare the wholemeal crispbread per 100 g and per piece. Then check how much chocolate sprinkles you’ll actually use, and read both labels before packing anything for your night shift.

What to consider What to check when buying Most relevant to
Wholemeal base and fibre Read the ingredients and compare fibre per 100 g and per piece; check the weight of each piece. If I’m taking crispbread as a base, I want to know how much fibre is in the piece I eat. For around 29% of consumers, this comparison comes first.
Chocolate sprinkles and serving size Check the sugar content per 100 g and per stated serving; decide how much chocolate sprinkles you’ll use. I want to enjoy crispbread with chocolate sprinkles without accidentally using more topping than planned. Around 36% of consumers prioritise the amount of chocolate sprinkles and the sugar they contain.
Ingredients and allergens Read the current ingredients and allergen information on both packs. If several people are sharing the supplies, I want to check in advance which ingredients and allergens are in both products. This is the top priority for around 21% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming the wholemeal base tells you how much sugar is in the topping

    Crispbread and chocolate sprinkles each have their own nutritional values. According to Albert Heijn, a 20 g serving of De Ruijter Royaal extra dark chocolate sprinkles contains 11 g of sugars.

    Compare the crispbread for fibre and the chocolate sprinkles for sugar separately, and check how much topping you put on each piece.

  • Assuming ‘extra dark’ means ‘low in sugar’

    Albert Heijn states that De Ruijter Royaal extra dark contains at least 43% cocoa solids, but also 54 g of sugars per 100 g. So the cocoa percentage doesn’t tell you how much sugar these chocolate sprinkles contain.

    Use the product name to choose the flavour you prefer, and the nutritional information for the exact variety to compare sugar content.

  • Comparing only the word ‘wholemeal’ on the front of the pack

    Bolletje Wholemeal Crispbread, as listed by Jumbo, contains 11 g of fibre per 100 g and 1.3 g per piece; the larger, darker Bolletje variety contains 10 g per 100 g and 1.6 g per piece. The result depends on which measure you use.

    Use the per-100 g value to compare products and the per-piece value to assess the portion you’ve chosen.

Two wholemeal crispbreads for which Jumbo lists nutritional values per piece and per 100 g.

  • According to Jumbo, Bolletje Wholemeal Crispbread contains 11 g of fibre per 100 g, while the dark variety contains 10 g per 100 g.

Jumbo

A supermarket own-label wholemeal crispbread whose product information can be used as a point of comparison.

  • Jumbo lists 7.7 g of fibre per 100 g for its Wholemeal Crispbread.
  • Check current availability and the packaging of the product you choose.

Albert Heijn

A supermarket own-label brand with AH Wholemeal Crispbread; its product information is a starting point for comparing the pack you choose.

  • Albert Heijn notes that ingredients, nutritional values and allergen information may change. Always read the current label.

De Ruijter

The brand of chocolate sprinkles used in this combination; Albert Heijn lists information for a 390 g pack of Royaal extra dark chocolate sprinkles.

  • For this variety, Albert Heijn lists at least 43% cocoa solids and 11 g of sugars per 20 g serving.

Frequently asked questions

Does wholemeal crispbread with chocolate sprinkles automatically make a complete night-shift snack?

No, choosing wholemeal crispbread alone doesn’t support that conclusion. According to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, a 10 g wholemeal crispbread contains 0.8 g of fibre as a general reference; how much you get from the combination also depends on the crispbread you choose and how much chocolate sprinkles you use.

Is dark chocolate sprinkles automatically low in sugar?

No. Albert Heijn lists at least 43% cocoa solids and 54 g of sugars per 100 g for De Ruijter Royaal extra dark chocolate sprinkles. Check the sugar content on the label of the variety you want to use.

Which allergens should I check in crispbread with chocolate sprinkles?

Check the labels on both products, as ingredients vary between varieties. The crispbreads described by Jumbo list wheat, egg, oats, barley or sesame, among other ingredients; according to Albert Heijn, the De Ruijter chocolate sprinkles mentioned contain milk and soya. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority highlights the allergen information on labels of prepacked foods.

Does the mention of baker’s salt mean that every crispbread contains iodine?

No, a general note about baker’s salt doesn’t tell you what’s in a particular crispbread. Check the ingredients on the pack you choose or ask the manufacturer whether baker’s salt is used, if that matters to your choice.

How should I store crispbread and chocolate sprinkles for several shifts?

Follow the instructions and best-before date on the packaging for both products. The crispbread described by Jumbo and the chocolate sprinkles described by Albert Heijn have their own storage instructions; seal opened packs securely and check them before taking anything with you.
