Common mistakes

  • Treating the topping as a chilled product

    According to Jumbo, the crushed aniseed sprinkles described here should be stored in a dry place. That doesn’t tell you how to store the products you combine them with.

    Check the storage instructions for each product separately, and make room for chilled storage if you’re taking perishable extras.

  • Taking more than you expect to use

    You may still have some left after the festival from a 270 g pack.

    Think about how many times you plan to use the topping and whether you’d like to keep any leftovers at home.

  • Skipping the label on a sprinkle-on topping

    The variety described by Jumbo contains wheat starch and 79 g of sugars per 100 g. Even if you only use a small amount, these details could affect your choice.

    Check the ingredients, allergens and nutritional information on the pack you buy.
