If you want to share one bag of aniseed sprinkles on a film night, a 330 g pack contains more than the 270 g crushed variety we looked at. Choose the type that suits how you plan to use them, and check the label: Jumbo lists wheat in De Ruijter Feest Muisjes and Gestampte Muisjes. Check the venue’s rules first, too. Pathé Nederland and Kinepolis Nederland do not allow you to bring your own food into the cinema.

If you want to share aniseed sprinkles on a film night
When you’re sharing with a group, the amount in each pack is what matters most. Jumbo’s range includes whole aniseed sprinkles in 330 g bags and crushed sprinkles in a 270 g pack. Whether that’s enough depends on how you plan to serve them and how many people you’re sharing with.
If you’re looking for a colour to suit the occasion
Festive sprinkles and pink-and-white or blue-and-white sprinkles give you a choice of presentation. The colour doesn’t tell you whether the ingredients are suitable for your group, so check the pack you choose.
If you check ingredients and nutritional information
Read the label on your chosen variety before serving. Jumbo lists wheat in De Ruijter Feest Muisjes and Gestampte Muisjes. If you want to compare sugar content, make sure you also check the serving size each nutrition figure refers to.
What should you look for when choosing?
If you’re going to the cinema, first check whether you’re allowed to bring your own food. If you can take aniseed sprinkles with you, the right pack will depend mainly on the quantity you want, the type, the ingredients and the serving size.

Common mistakes
-
Buying a bag without checking the cinema’s rules
Pathé Nederland and Kinepolis Nederland state that you can’t bring your own food and drink into the cinema. The size of the bag doesn’t change the venue’s rules.
Check the cinema’s rules before buying anything for your trip. Otherwise, save the sprinkles for home or somewhere you’re allowed to take them.
-
Assuming a bigger bag means a different nutritional choice
A 330 g pack contains more sprinkles than a 270 g pack, but the weight alone doesn’t tell you the nutritional value of a serving. The Voedingscentrum lists 11,9 g of sugars per 15 g of aniseed sprinkles.
Choose a bag size to suit how you’ll use it, and check the serving size and nutritional information on the label separately.
-
Choosing by colour without reading the label
The colour doesn’t tell you which allergens a variety contains. Jumbo’s product information lists wheat in De Ruijter Feest Muisjes and Gestampte Muisjes.
Check the current allergen information on the exact pack you’re buying and serving.
-
Treating crushed sprinkles as the same size sharing pack
The crushed sprinkles shown by Jumbo contain 270 g, compared with 330 g for the whole varieties mentioned. Their finer texture makes them suitable for sprinkling, but the smaller quantity could make a difference when you’re sharing with a group.
Choose according to how you plan to use them: sprinkle them as a topping or share them out, and compare the net weight.
