For a coffee break with lots of guests, you can combine several consumer packs: the whole aniseed sprinkles listed by Jumbo and Albert Heijn come in 330 g packs, while the ground version reviewed comes in a 270 g pack. Choose whole, coloured sprinkles if presentation matters, or ground sprinkles for a finer topping. Before shopping, work out how many packs you’ll need and check the current label for each variety.
You’ll want enough aniseed sprinkles for the planned servings, with the option to distribute unopened packs across different tables. With the 270 g and 330 g pack sizes listed by Jumbo and Albert Heijn, planning comes down to the number of packs you need.
You’ll want to choose between visible, coloured sprinkles and a finer topping for items such as crispbread, bread or cakes. Albert Heijn and PLUS describe uses for whole sprinkles; the topping you want will determine which variety is right for the occasion.
You’ll want to read the label for the exact variety you’ve chosen before serving. Albert Heijn’s product information for Feestmuisjes and Jumbo’s for Gestampte Muisjes list wheat and cereals containing gluten.
First, work out how many packs you’ll need for the coffee break. Then choose the type of topping and check the ingredients, allergens and storage information for your chosen variety before buying.

| Storage | Check the best-before date on each pack and follow the storage instructions; the product pages reviewed recommend storing them in a dry place. | If I have packs left over for another coffee break, I want to be able to store them according to the instructions.
