Who is this for?

If you want something to share with your chips

If you’re looking for a savoury addition to your chips, a box of aniseed sprinkles isn’t right for the occasion. Jumbo and PLUS describe the sprinkles mentioned as sweet toppings, for bread and crisp rusks, among other things.

If you’re planning a sweet celebration

For crisp rusks or cake, you can choose the shape and quantity you need. Jumbo lists 330 g packs of Feestmuisjes and 270 g packs of crushed aniseed sprinkles.

If you need to consider wheat or gluten

Check the ingredients and allergen information on the pack you intend to serve. Jumbo lists wheat starch in Feestmuisjes, and wheat and cereals containing gluten in its crushed aniseed sprinkles.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether you’re looking for something savoury to go with your chips or a sweet topping. Then check for any allergens and, for a sweet occasion, compare the shape, pack size and colour.

What to consider What to check Who it matters to
Serving with chips Choose between a savoury snack to go with chips and a sweet topping for bread or crisp rusks, for example. If I want something savoury to share when picking up chips, I’m not looking for a box of sweet toppings. Finding something suitable to serve with chips is the priority for around 46% of consumers with this shopping question.
Pack size and appearance Compare the pack weights and choose the variety whose shape or colour suits your sweet occasion. If I’m serving crisp rusks or cake with others, I want enough sprinkles in a style that suits the occasion. Quantity and appearance are the main considerations for around 36% of consumers.
Wheat and gluten Read the ingredients and allergen information on the specific pack before serving. If I need to avoid wheat or cereals containing gluten, the label determines which pack I can use. Allergen information is the most important factor for around 18% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a large box is a snack to have with chips

    Feestmuisjes are sweet toppings. PLUS suggests serving them on bread, crisp rusks and crackers; the size of the box doesn’t make them a savoury snack.

    Before buying, decide whether you want something to eat with your chips or sprinkles for a separate sweet occasion.

  • Assuming 330 g means it’s a special sharing pack

    The weight tells you how much is in the pack, not what it’s intended for. Jumbo lists 330 g packs of Feestmuisjes and 270 g packs of crushed aniseed sprinkles.

    Compare the weights if you’re buying sprinkles for crisp rusks or cake, but don’t take them as a sign that the sprinkles are suitable to have with chips.

  • Skipping the label because they’re just sprinkles

    Ingredients matter even when you’re only serving a small amount of sprinkles. The Jumbo product information mentioned lists wheat in Feestmuisjes, and wheat and cereals containing gluten in its crushed aniseed sprinkles.

    Read the ingredients and allergen information on the pack before serving, especially if someone needs to avoid wheat or cereals containing gluten.

Is 330 g the largest of the packs discussed?

Yes. Of the Feestmuisjes pack at 330 g and the crushed aniseed sprinkles at 270 g discussed here, the Feestmuisjes pack contains more. Jumbo lists both weights; 330 g on its own doesn’t mean the product is suitable to have with chips.
