Which packaging works best for you?

For a tidy way to serve

If several guests are helping themselves to sprinkles, the way you serve them affects how much you need to dispense and clear up. Individual portions are an alternative to one shared pack; if you choose a box, think about how you want to serve the sprinkles at the table.

For separate portions and toppings

For a small group, you can put out a portion for each guest or place setting. Jumbo lists De Ruijter Kleintjes Strooibaar as containing eight portions of different toppings, including sprinkles. So it isn’t a pack of eight identical portions of sprinkles.

For guests with allergies

If guests need to avoid certain ingredients, check each variant individually. Before serving, read the ingredients, allergens and any warnings on the current packaging; the flavour name alone isn’t enough.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, decide whether you want to share one pack or need individual portions. Then compare the pack sizes and flavours, and check the label on each variant.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Serving neatly Check whether the pack contains individual portions and how to dispense the sprinkles. I want guests to be able to help themselves without sprinkling from the same pack each time. Around 42% of consumers prioritise tidy serving.
Quantity and flavour Compare the net weight and consider whether you want to offer one flavour or a selection of toppings. With more guests, I want to put enough on the table without opening more packs than necessary. Roughly 33% of consumers prioritise quantity and flavour choice.
Ingredients and allergens Read the label on each variant, including any warnings that an allergen may be present. If a guest needs to check ingredients, I want to know what’s in each variant before serving. For around 25% of consumers, this check is the top priority.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming there’s a squeeze bottle because you want to serve neatly

    The packaging only tells you how easy a product is to dispense when it’s clear how the product is meant to be used. Packaging for a different chocolate topping isn’t automatically suitable for sprinkles.

    Before buying, check that the product description explicitly mentions chocolate sprinkles, a squeeze bottle and how to dispense them. Otherwise, compare the available boxes and portion packs to see what you need for the table.

  • Mistaking a selection pack for individual portions of one flavour

    According to Jumbo, De Ruijter Kleintjes Strooibaar contains eight portions of different toppings, including sprinkles. So don’t assume these are eight portions of the same type of sprinkles.

    Check which toppings are included in the pack you’ve chosen before planning to serve every guest the same flavour or quantity.

  • Relying on the flavour name to check for allergens

    The label ‘milk’, ‘dark’ or ‘selection’ doesn’t tell you by itself which allergens or warnings appear on a particular pack. This matters especially when you’re serving several variants at once.

    Read the current label on each pack individually, and keep the packaging handy in case guests ask about the ingredients.

Frequently asked questions

Is a squeeze bottle a good choice for chocolate sprinkles?

Only if it’s clear that the squeeze bottle actually contains chocolate sprinkles and how to dispense them. Don’t assume a different chocolate topping comes in the right packaging; for a coffee morning, compare the contents and serving style of boxes and portion packs instead.

Does De Ruijter Kleintjes Strooibaar contain eight portions of sprinkles?

No. Jumbo describes it as containing eight portions of different toppings, including sprinkles. Check the contents if you want to put out the same topping for every guest.

How should I store a pack of sprinkles?

Follow the storage instructions and best-before date on the pack you’ve chosen. Jumbo says to store De Ruijter Kleintjes Strooibaar in a cool, dry place; check the instructions again for any other variant.

Can I rely on the ‘dark’ or ‘milk’ label if someone has an allergy?

No. The flavour name doesn’t replace the allergen information on the specific pack. Read the ingredients and any warnings on the current label of every variant you plan to offer your guests.
