Choose a 12-pack of organic chocolate sprinkles only if the total quantity, flavour and storage space suit your family or event. The bundles shown by Ekoplaza contain individual packs: twelve 225 g packs provide 2.7 kg, while twelve 200 g packs of extra-dark sprinkles add up to 2.4 kg. Before ordering, also check the organic certification details and the ingredients and allergens for the exact variety.
If lots of people will be using chocolate sprinkles, work out how much you’ll need in advance. Check whether a bundle contains individual packs or one large pack, as this affects how easy it is to hand them out and store them.
A larger quantity is most practical when everyone likes the chosen flavour and you can use the packs within their stated shelf life. Milk, dark and extra-dark varieties have different ingredients.
Don’t rely on the brand name or flavour description alone. Check the organic certification details and read the ingredients and allergen information on the pack for the variety you’re buying.
For a large family or an event, start by working out how much you can use. Then check the organic certification details and choose a flavour that suits everyone.

A brand or shop name doesn’t replace the organic certification details on the packaging. The European Commission states that the EU organic logo must also be accompanied by the code of the control body.
Before buying several packs, check the logo, control code and origin details on the packaging or in the full product information.
