Who is this choice relevant to?

Hosts organising a shared get-together

If you’re putting out aniseed sprinkles for a group, you’ll want to know how much a box contains and roughly how many portions it provides. For a 330 g box of De Ruijter Blue and White Muisjes, PLUS estimates around 22 portions.

Preparing lunchboxes and treats

Pre-portioning the sprinkles and taking them with you without making a mess may matter more than putting a single box on the table. Check the product type: Albert Heijn’s eight-portion pack of De Ruijter Kleintjes contains a different kind of topping, not aniseed sprinkles.

Anyone checking for allergens

If you’re catering for guests who need to avoid wheat or gluten, check the packaging before serving. Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for De Ruijter Feest Muisjes and Gestampte Muisjes.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, decide whether you’ll be sharing the aniseed sprinkles at the table or taking them along in pre-portioned servings. Then check the exact variety and ingredients.

What to consider What to look for Who it matters to
Amount for a group Compare the net weight with the number of people eating. PLUS estimates around 22 portions for its 330 g blue and white aniseed sprinkles; the amount used can vary. If I’m putting out aniseed sprinkles for a group, I want to have enough without ending up with too much left over. For around 50% of consumers, having enough for everyone comes first.
Pre-portioning Check the number of portions and make sure the contents really are aniseed sprinkles. De Ruijter Kleintjes, with eight portions, contains a different kind of topping. For a lunchbox or small treat, I want to be able to take portions with me without having to serve them on the spot. For around 20% of consumers, convenience is the deciding factor.
Variety and ingredients Check the exact variety, texture and allergens on the current packaging. Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for its Feest Muisjes and Gestampte Muisjes. When serving, I want to choose a suitable variety and know what’s in it beforehand. The variety and ingredients are the main consideration for around 30% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Mistaking a pack of individual toppings for a multipack of aniseed sprinkles

    De Ruijter Kleintjes, with eight portions, contains chocolate sprinkles, chocolate flakes and fruit sprinkles. It isn’t the same topping as aniseed sprinkles.

    Check the product name and ingredients before choosing individual portions for a lunchbox or treat.

  • Checking for allergens only when it’s time to serve

    Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for De Ruijter Feest Muisjes and Gestampte Muisjes. This matters if anyone at the table needs to avoid these ingredients.

    Ask about any relevant dietary requirements in advance and read the current packaging. Albert Heijn notes that online product information can change.
