When choosing aniseed sprinkles for a group, first check which allergens your guests need to avoid, then choose a colour. Albert Heijn and Jumbo product information lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for the De Ruijter 330 g bags covered here: Celebration sprinkles, pink-and-white and blue-and-white aniseed sprinkles. Don’t serve these varieties to anyone who needs to avoid those ingredients, and check the packaging again before sharing them.
Who is this choice relevant to?
Anyone catering for a guest who needs to avoid wheat or cereals containing gluten
Albert Heijn and Jumbo product information lists these ingredients for all three 330 g bags covered here. Choosing a different colour won’t make these varieties suitable for that guest.
Anyone organising a treat for several guests
When serving aniseed sprinkles from a shared bowl, make sure it’s clear which pack they came from. Keep the bag so guests can check the ingredients and allergens.
Anyone choosing a large bag by colour
If wheat and cereals containing gluten aren’t a concern for anyone sharing the treat, you can choose the colour of the 330 g varieties covered here to suit the occasion. Even then, check the packaging for any other allergens that may be relevant to your guests.
What should you look for when choosing?
When sharing a treat, first find out which allergens your guests need to avoid. Then consider how you’ll keep the packaging with the aniseed sprinkles, and only choose the size and colour last.

Common mistakes
-
Assuming a different colour means different allergens
According to Albert Heijn and Jumbo product information, all the 330 g Celebration, pink-and-white and blue-and-white aniseed sprinkles covered here list wheat and cereals containing gluten.
Check first that the allergen information is suitable for your guests; only then use colour as a deciding factor.
-
Choosing for the group without knowing about relevant allergies
If you don’t know which ingredients someone needs to avoid, you can’t assess whether a shared treat is suitable.
Ask which allergens are relevant and check the packaging of the product you plan to serve.
-
Treating an old product page as the definitive label
The ingredients and allergen information on a product page may differ from what’s on the packaging you receive.
Read the packaging just before serving and keep it with the aniseed sprinkles in the shared bowl.
A relevant brand to consider
De Ruijter
Albert Heijn and Jumbo list De Ruijter Celebration sprinkles, pink-and-white and blue-and-white aniseed sprinkles in 330 g bags.
- Allergen information is available for these three varieties.
- All three list wheat and cereals containing gluten, so the different colours aren’t an alternative for anyone who needs to avoid these ingredients.

Frequently asked questions
Are the 330 g bags covered here suitable for someone with a wheat allergy?
No. Albert Heijn and Jumbo product information lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for De Ruijter Celebration sprinkles, pink-and-white and blue-and-white aniseed sprinkles in 330 g bags. Choose a different product for that guest and check the current packaging for the specific allergens they need to avoid.
Where can I find allergen information on pre-packed aniseed sprinkles?
According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, allergen information for pre-packed foods must appear on the label; the allergens that must be declared are listed in the ingredients. Read the label on the bag you’re actually using.
Is the allergen information on an online shop enough when sharing aniseed sprinkles?
Use the product page to help you make your choice, but also read the packaging you receive before sharing the food. Albert Heijn says that ingredients and allergen information can change.
How should I store aniseed sprinkles from an opened bag?
Store the aniseed sprinkles in a dry place, as stated on the product pages covered here. If you’re sharing them, keep the original packaging with the contents so the ingredients and allergens remain easy to check.
