If you want aniseed sprinkles for a small late-night snack, don’t assume they come in a squeezy bottle: the Dutch supermarket products mentioned are boxes weighing 270 g or 330 g. The 270 g box of De Ruijter Crushed Aniseed Sprinkles is a good choice if you’d rather open a smaller quantity; the 330 g box of Party Sprinkles is an option if you’re looking for that colourful variety. Check the packaging type before you buy, and read the label on the pack you purchase for ingredient and allergen information.
Want to sprinkle a little over bread, crispbread or yoghurt without opening a large quantity? Check both the pack size and how easy it is to pour from the packaging. Jumbo lists a 270 g box of De Ruijter Crushed Aniseed Sprinkles; the Party Sprinkles box mentioned contains 330 g.
If you also use aniseed sprinkles as decoration, colour may be a factor. Albert Heijn lists pink and white aniseed sprinkles, among other options, while PLUS features Party Sprinkles. The colour doesn’t tell you how easy it is to sprinkle a small portion.
If wheat or gluten is a concern for you, read the label on the pack you choose. The product information for the De Ruijter varieties mentioned lists wheat and cereals containing gluten; ingredient and allergen information can change.
First, check whether the packaging suits the way you want to take a small portion. Then compare the pack sizes, and check the label if ingredients or allergens affect your choice.
| What to consider | What to check | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Portions and packaging | Check the actual packaging type and opening; don’t assume it’s a squeezy bottle unless this is stated for the product. | If I want to sprinkle a little over my food late at night, I want to control the amount myself without mistaking a box for a dispensing bottle. This is the top priority for around 50% of consumers. |
| Quantity | Compare the stated box size with how often you expect to use aniseed sprinkles: Jumbo lists 270 g of De Ruijter Crushed Aniseed Sprinkles and 330 g of Party Sprinkles. | If I only use aniseed sprinkles occasionally, I don’t want to open a larger quantity than I need. For around 30% of consumers, choosing the right quantity is the first consideration. |
| Label | Check the ingredients, allergens and nutritional information on the pack you choose. | If I need to watch out for wheat or gluten, the label matters more to me than the colour or box size. Checking the label comes first for around 20% of consumers. |
Searching for an aniseed sprinkles squeezy bottle doesn’t mean the product you find will come in one. The listings mentioned from Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS are for aniseed sprinkles in boxes or other standard packaging.
Before buying with easy dispensing in mind, check the packaging itself on the product page or in store.
Albert Heijn points out that product information about ingredients, nutritional values and allergens can change. A product page you viewed previously may therefore not match the pack you buy later.
Before eating, read the label on the pack you’re actually using, especially if a particular allergen or ingredient matters to you.
Jumbo lists 270 g of De Ruijter Crushed Aniseed Sprinkles and 330 g of Party Sprinkles; PLUS features Party Sprinkles in a 330 g box. These are product examples, not an assessment of the brand as a whole.
This 330 g variety is worth considering if you’re looking for a topping for a late-night snack. Check the packaging type separately if the way you dispense it is a deciding factor.

Don’t assume so without checking the packaging type of the product you’ve chosen. The aniseed sprinkles mentioned at Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS are listed in boxes or standard packaging; this doesn’t mean you can dispense them like a squeezy bottle.
They’re different varieties and pack sizes: Jumbo lists 270 g of Crushed Aniseed Sprinkles and 330 g of Party Sprinkles. Choose the variety you want and match the pack size to how often you expect to use it; the box size doesn’t tell you whether it can be dispensed without making a mess.
Follow the storage instructions on the packaging. The De Ruijter product information mentioned says to store the product in a dry place; also check the best-before date on the pack.
Read the allergen information on the label of the pack you’ve chosen. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, this information must appear on the label of pre-packed foods; the De Ruijter varieties mentioned list wheat and cereals containing gluten.
