Common mistakes when choosing
-
Automatically choosing the smallest pack
A smaller pack may be right for one breakfast or baking session, but it’s less convenient if you want to use the aniseed sprinkles on several occasions.
Plan how you’ll use them before choosing between a 270 g pack and a 330 g pack.
-
Assuming a festive topping is allergen-free
The De Ruijter Feestmuisjes described here contain wheat and cereals containing gluten. The colour tells you nothing about the allergens.
Read the allergen statement for the exact variety before serving the aniseed sprinkles to guests.
-
Relying only on an online product description
Ingredients and nutritional information can change when a product is updated, as Albert Heijn notes in its product information.
Before use, check the packaging for ingredients, allergens, storage advice and the best-before date.
