Which pack size is right for you?

Families who share them regularly

If several members of your family often eat the same sprinkles, you could consider a 600 g pack. Just check that everyone likes the flavour and that you can store the pack as directed on the label.

Families who want to split the supply

If you want to keep sprinkles in more than one place, check whether a multipack contains separate packs. For example, Albert Heijn says that the Venz pack of 2 × 400 g is supplied as separate items.

Families planning portions for lunchboxes

If you need separate, pre-measured amounts, individual portions are a different option from a multipack of standard packs. Albert Heijn lists a De Ruijter pack with 120 portions of 20 g each.

What should you consider when choosing?

First decide whether you need one shared pack, several separate packs or individual portions. Then check the flavour and the information on the label.

What to consider What should you check? Who is it important for?
Amount for sharing Compare the net weight and flavour; a 600 g pack is one shared pack. If we often use the same sprinkles at home, I want one pack for everyone to share. Around 31% of consumers put this amount first.
Splitting the supply Check how many separate packs there are and how much each contains; a multipack does not automatically contain lunchbox portions. If we need sprinkles in different places, I want to be able to split the packs. For around 25% of consumers, being able to split the supply is the top priority.
Ingredients and allergens Read the ingredients list and allergen information on the pack you buy. If someone in the family has a relevant food allergy, I want to be able to check the current packaging. Around 25% of consumers put checking the label first.
Individual portions Check the amount per portion and the nutritional information per portion or per 100 g. For lunchboxes, I sometimes want to include a set amount rather than spooning sprinkles out of a shared pack. Around 19% of consumers give individual portions top priority.

Common mistakes when choosing

  • Mistaking a multipack for individual portions

    According to Albert Heijn, the Venz pack of 2 × 400 g is supplied as separate packs. By contrast, the De Ruijter portion pack listed by Albert Heijn contains 120 individual 20 g portions.

    If you want to split the supply, look for separate packs. If you want to include pre-measured amounts, check that each portion is individually wrapped.

  • Relying on a label you looked at before

    The ingredients in a specific variety of sprinkles matter if someone has a relevant food allergy. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains how allergens must be listed on the labels of pre-packed foods.

    When you buy them, read the ingredients list and allergen information on the actual packaging, even if you already know the brand.

  • Choosing a large pack without considering how you’ll use and store it

    A 600 g pack may not be the best fit if your family rarely eats the flavour you’ve chosen or can’t store it according to the instructions.

    Before buying, check the flavour, storage instructions and best-before date on the packaging.

Frequently asked questions

When should I choose a 600 g pack instead of a multipack?

A 600 g pack is a good choice if your family regularly shares the same sprinkles from one pack. If you want to store packs in different places, check that the multipack contains separate packs, such as the Venz pack of 2 × 400 g listed by Albert Heijn.

Are multipacks suitable as individual portions for lunchboxes?

Not necessarily: according to Albert Heijn, the Venz pack of 2 × 400 g consists of two standard packs. For pre-measured amounts, Albert Heijn lists, for example, a De Ruijter pack with 120 portions of 20 g each.

Where can I check the allergens in sprinkles?

Check the packaging of the specific variety you’re buying for allergen information. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains which allergens must be listed in the ingredients of pre-packed foods. If you have a relevant food allergy, don’t rely solely on a product page you looked at before.

How should I store a large pack of sprinkles?

Follow the storage instructions on the packaging of the product you choose. Albert Heijn’s product information says to store the listed sprinkles in a cool, dark and dry place. Also check the best-before date on the pack.
