Choose how many boxes of aniseed sprinkles to buy based on what you’re serving at the buffet, how much you expect to use and whether you’d like to save some for lunchboxes. Don’t rely on the ‘multipack’ label alone. You can combine individual boxes, including 330 g varieties and 270 g boxes of crushed aniseed sprinkles. Check the ingredients, allergens, best-before date and storage instructions on each pack you buy.
If your guest numbers are still up in the air, you can plan for individual boxes as separate stock. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list aniseed sprinkles in 270 g and 330 g boxes; how many you need depends on what you’re serving at the buffet.
If you’d like to use the sprinkles for the buffet and later on, decide which boxes to open and which to keep sealed. PLUS suggests using its celebration sprinkles on bread, rusks, crackers, yoghurt and bakes.
If your guests need to avoid certain ingredients, the label on the pack you buy should guide your choice. Albert Heijn and PLUS product information lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for crushed aniseed sprinkles and celebration sprinkles respectively.
First, decide which buffet items you’d like to serve with aniseed sprinkles and how many boxes you want to open. Then compare the varieties and labels on the packs you’re actually buying.

| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients and allergen information on each pack you buy, and check the best-before date too. | If guests need to avoid certain ingredients, or you’re saving sprinkles for lunchboxes, you’ll want to know exactly what’s in the pack you choose.
