Which pack works best for you?

Parents who want to prepare portions in advance

For a holiday breakfast or snack, you might prefer to grab a sachet rather than pour from a box. Albert Heijn lists eight individual portions in De Ruijter Kleintjes; check the weight of the sachet you plan to use.

Families making several snacks at home

If you use sprinkles more often during the holidays, you can take whatever you need from a standard box for bread, yoghurt or porridge, for example. Make sure you seal the pack properly after use.

Families looking for different flavours or shapes

A mix could be a good choice for a shared snack when you want to offer different flavours or shapes. PLUS describes Venz Rimboe tiger flakes as a mix of milk and vanilla flakes with shapes. A mix doesn’t automatically come in pre-measured portions.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether you want pre-packed portions or to measure out the amount yourself. Then compare the contents and ingredients of the exact product variant.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters to
Pre-measured portions Check how many sachets there are, the weight of each sachet and the types of sprinkles they contain. If I want to set aside one portion for each snack time, I look for individual sachets; this portion size is the top priority for around 42% of consumers.
Measuring your own portions Check the net weight and whether the pack can be sealed properly after opening. If I’m making several snacks at home, I want to decide how much to use each time. Around 33% of consumers say this flexibility comes first.
Variety and ingredients Read which flavours or shapes the mix contains and check the ingredients and allergens for your chosen variant. If I want a variety of options for snack time, I need to know exactly what’s in the mix; this is the most important factor for around 25% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming every mini sachet contains only sprinkles

    According to Albert Heijn, De Ruijter Kleintjes combines sprinkles with other types of decoration. This matters if you want only sprinkles for a particular snack.

    Check what’s in each sachet before you buy; choose a box of sprinkles if that’s the only product type you want.

  • Confusing a pre-measured portion with different nutritional values

    A smaller sachet doesn’t change the composition of the same sprinkles. When comparing sugar and fat, it’s important to consider both the nutritional information and the portion you use.

    Read the nutritional information per 100 g and decide how much you want to use for your snack.

  • Guessing allergens from the brand name or product photo

    Ingredients can vary between mix variants. PLUS lists wheat, soya and milk among the ingredients in Venz Rimboe tiger flakes.

    Check the ingredients and allergens on the pack of the exact variant every time you buy it.
