Why We Make Our Sprinkles in Charlotte, NC — The True Made in USA Difference

When you’re decorating a birthday cake for your child, creating cupcakes for a school party, or adding that perfect finishing touch to holiday cookies, you want sprinkles you can trust. At American Sprinkle Co., we believe that starts with where — and how — they’re made. We don’t import our sprinkles. We manufacture them right here in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The Honest Truth About Most Sprinkles

Walk down any baking aisle or scroll through popular online stores and you’ll see plenty of brands calling themselves “American companies". Many design their products in the U.S. and handle packaging domestically. But the actual sprinkles? The vast majority are produced overseas — often in large facilities in China or other countries — then shipped across the ocean and repackaged here. This common industry practice can lead to inconsistencies in color, shine, texture, and freshness. It also means longer supply chains, higher carbon footprints, and less control over quality and safety standards. At American Sprinkle Co., we chose a different path.

Proudly Manufactured in Charlotte, North Carolina

Since day one, our sprinkles, nonpareils, colored sugars, and seasonal mixes have been proudly produced in the U.S., first in New Jersey, and now, in Charlotte, NC. Here’s what that means for you:

• Fresher Product — Made in small batches and shipped quickly, so your sprinkles taste better and look brighter.
• Superior Consistency — Every sprinkle has a vibrant color and beautiful shine our customers love, batch after batch.
• Strict Quality Standards — Our Charlotte facility is SQF certified and operates as a peanut-free environment — giving families with allergies extra peace of mind.
• Supporting American Jobs — Every product purchases helps support manufacturing jobs right here in North Carolina.
• Full Transparency — We control the entire process from production to packaging, so we stand behind every product 100%.
