Are Sprinkles Vegan?
Sprinkles sometimes contain animal products, like shellac and carmine, but not always.
There are a few theories about where sprinkles first came from, but one of the most common involves a Dutch man called Erven H. The confectioner wasn’t baking a cake or churning ice cream … no, his creation involved a simple loaf of bread.
The story goes that De Jong invented a now-iconic Dutch dish called hagelslag in the early 1900s, which involves scattering chocolate sprinkles over buttered slices of bread.
After that, sprinkles “somehow reached the Tri-State and New England area in the 1930s,” notes Massachusetts brand Ron’s Gourmet Ice Cream. “And started their climb to rainbow fame.”
Hagelslag is still eaten across the Netherlands, and in Australia, a similar dish called Fairy Bread features multi-colored sprinkles. But for the most part, sprinkles are now used in baking and as an ice cream topper.
