Occasion and variety Compare crushed aniseed sprinkles with coloured whole aniseed sprinkles, and check the net contents suit your plans. If I’m serving crispbread at a birth celebration, I want to decide in advance which kind of aniseed sprinkles to serve. Around 30% of consumers prioritise this choice of variety.
Ingredients and allergens Read the ingredients list and allergen information on the current packaging. If ingredients or allergens determine my choice, I want to be able to rely on the label of the product I receive. Around 30% of consumers put this check first.

Common mistakes

  • Looking for a box of chocolates under crushed aniseed sprinkles

    Jumbo categorises crushed aniseed sprinkles as a sweet bread topping. So you won’t get the box of chocolates you had in mind as a gift.

    Before searching, decide whether you need an aniseed bread topping, sprinkles for a birth celebration or a chocolate gift. Then search within the relevant product category.

  • Confusing crushed sprinkles with coloured whole sprinkles

    Jumbo lists different varieties of aniseed sprinkles. If the shape or colour matters for your occasion, the general name ‘aniseed sprinkles’ isn’t specific enough.

    Compare the full product name, variety and net contents before adding the product to your shopping basket.

  • Relying only on online label information

    Albert Heijn says that ingredient and allergen information can change. Older information online is therefore no substitute for checking the label on the packaging you receive.

    Check the current ingredients and allergen information on the packaging before use.

A relevant brand to consider

De Ruijter

Jumbo lists De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes 270 g in the aniseed sprinkles category under sweet bread toppings. Albert Heijn also lists crushed aniseed sprinkles from De Ruijter.

  • The product name and 270 g contents help you distinguish this variety from other types of aniseed sprinkles.
  • Check the current packaging for ingredients and allergens; the mention of this brand says nothing about the suitability of other brands.
