Who are these pack sizes for?

Shoppers preparing for a get-together

If you’re serving rusks or preparing a treat, the colour you want and the quantity you need can guide your choice. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list 330 g colour variants, among others.

Households that want to check the label

If ingredients, allergens, nutritional information or shelf life matter to you, read the label on the variety you choose. Product information can change, even if you’ve bought the same aniseed sprinkles before.

What should you look for when choosing?

Work out how much you’ll need for the occasion, then choose a variety and check the label before adding extra boxes to your basket.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Pack size and stock Compare the 270 g and 330 g pack sizes with the amount you need for your plans. For a small top-up, I want enough aniseed sprinkles without bringing home unnecessary extra boxes. Around 40% of consumers prioritise keeping stock levels low.
Colour and occasion Check the variety name and pack size; Albert Heijn and Jumbo list Feestmuisjes and 330 g colour variants, among others. If the aniseed sprinkles are for rusks or a treat, I want a colour that suits the occasion. For around 30% of consumers, the choice of variety is the deciding factor.
Label and nutritional information Check the ingredients, allergens, nutritional information and best-before date on the pack. When sharing, I want to know what’s in the aniseed sprinkles I’ve chosen and how much sugar my portion contains. For around 30% of consumers, the label and nutritional information are the most important considerations.

Pitfalls to avoid when buying

  • Mistaking a 330 g box for a multipack

    Albert Heijn and Jumbo list 270 g and 330 g boxes as individual packs in their aniseed sprinkle ranges. Several individual boxes do not automatically make a multipack.

    Check the pack size and exact variety before deciding how many boxes you need.

  • Choosing based on colour alone

    A colour variant won’t tell you which ingredients and allergens are in the aniseed sprinkles, or what the best-before date on the box is.

    As well as checking the colour, read the current label, especially if you’re sharing the aniseed sprinkles with others.

  • Buying extra boxes without a plan

    Extra stock is only useful if the best-before date and storage conditions suit your plans. On its pages for Feestmuisjes and pink and white aniseed sprinkles, Jumbo says to store them in a dry place.

    Check the date on each box and make sure you can use the extra contents and store them somewhere dry.

  • Forgetting how much you’re using per portion

    Voedingscentrum lists 11.9 g of sugar and 60 kcal per 15 g portion of aniseed sprinkles. So the amount you use matters when you’re considering the nutritional value of a lunch or snack.

    Check the nutritional information and decide how much you want to use on rusks, bread or in a lunchbox.

Frequently asked questions

Can I assume aniseed sprinkles come in a ready-made multipack?

Don’t assume so without checking: Albert Heijn and Jumbo list individual 270 g and 330 g boxes in their aniseed sprinkle ranges, but no separately named multipack. Check how many packs you’ll receive with the product you choose.

When should I choose 270 g and when 330 g?

Choose the listed 270 g box of crushed aniseed sprinkles if you want that variety and the quantity is enough. A 330 g colour variant is a good fit if you specifically need that colour or more in each box; Albert Heijn and Jumbo list these varieties.

Should I read the label again if I’ve bought the same aniseed sprinkles before?

Yes, check the ingredients and allergens on the pack you’ve chosen again. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says allergens must be clearly listed on the label; Albert Heijn points out that product information can change.

How should I store aniseed sprinkles after buying them?

Follow the storage instructions on the pack for your variety. Jumbo says to store Feestmuisjes and pink and white aniseed sprinkles in a dry place; also check the best-before date on each box you’re buying for later.

What should I look out for if I’m packing aniseed sprinkles in a lunchbox?

Choose an amount that suits your plans and read the nutritional information and ingredients for the variety you’re buying. Voedingscentrum lists 11.9 g of sugar and 60 kcal per 15 g portion of aniseed sprinkles; if you’re sharing them, check the allergens on the label too.
