Key Facts
How Sprinkles Are Used

The following are the standard guidelines for using Sprinkles:

Tear open the top of the package.
Pour the entire contents of the package into any semi-solid or solid food after the food has been cooked and is at a temperature acceptable to eat.
Mix the food well after you have added the package of Sprinkles.
Give no more than one full package per day at any mealtime.
Do not share the food to which Sprinkles were added with other household members since the amount of minerals and vitamins in a single package of Sprinkles is just the right amount for one child.
The food mixed with Sprinkles should be eaten within 30 minutes because the vitamins and minerals in the Sprinkles will cause the food to noticeably darken.
