Who is this combination for?

Hotel guest on a short stay

You want something to have with your coffee in your room, but you don’t know whether crockery, a fridge or a spread will be provided. So, work out which items you need before choosing a large pack of chocolate sprinkles.

Sharing breakfast or packing lunchboxes

You’re buying for several people or occasions. A 2-pack or larger pack is most useful when you’ll use all of it and can plan separately for the rusks.

Checking product labels

You want to be able to check the ingredients and allergens in each item. If the salt used matters to you, don’t assume all rusks are made with the same kind: according to the Voedingscentrum, bakers aren’t required to use baker’s salt.

What should you look for when choosing?

Before settling down with a coffee in your hotel room, first check that you have everything you need. Then choose pack sizes to suit the number of occasions you’ll be eating, and check the labels on the products you select.

For around 36% of consumers, choosing the right amount is the most important consideration.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a multipack of chocolate sprinkles is a complete combination

    The Venz Hagelslag melk 2-pack sold by Albert Heijn contains two separate packs of chocolate sprinkles, but no rusks or spread.

    Before buying, check which of the three items you’ll be taking and how you’ll keep the rusks dry and intact.

  • Confusing a large pack with a multipack

    The 600 g packs of chocolate sprinkles listed by Jumbo are single packs. The contents aren’t divided up for guests or lunchboxes.

    Choose the pack type to suit the number of people and occasions, rather than looking only at the total weight.

  • Only checking the chocolate sprinkles label

    Allergens vary from product to product. For example, Albert Heijn’s product information lists wheat and egg in AH Volkoren Beschuit; you’ll also need to check the chocolate sprinkles and spread you choose separately.

    Check the latest labels for every item just before you buy.

  • Assuming all rusks contain iodine-enriched baker’s salt

    According to the Voedingscentrum, bakers aren’t required to use baker’s salt. So the type of product alone won’t tell you which salt was used.

    Read the ingredients list or ask the baker or producer which salt was used.
