Who are these options for?

Planning breakfast for a group

You want enough aniseed sprinkles for the rusks you’re serving, and a pack size you can make good use of.

Families planning a celebratory breakfast

You’re choosing between colourful, whole sprinkles on Dutch rusks and a crushed version that’s also suggested for yoghurt or decoration.

Label-conscious shoppers

You check the ingredients, allergens and nutritional information before choosing a sweet topping to sprinkle over your food.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, work out how much you’ll need for Sunday breakfast and which texture you want to serve. Then check the label on your chosen variant.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters to
Pack size Compare the 330 g pack of classic aniseed sprinkles with the 270 g pack of crushed sprinkles, and estimate how much you’ll use. If I’m serving several rusks, I want enough sprinkles without choosing a pack that doesn’t suit my needs. Around 42% of consumers put finding the right amount first.
Texture and use Choose whole, coloured sprinkles or the crushed version, depending on what you’re planning to serve. For a celebratory rusk, what matters most to me is how the sprinkles look and which texture I want to scatter over it. Around 33% of consumers prioritise the occasion they’re serving them for.
Ingredients and nutritional information Check the allergen information and nutritional details per 100 g on the pack you choose. When I buy a sweet topping to sprinkle over food, I want to know what ingredients and sugars it contains. Around 25% of consumers say this label information is their main concern.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a supermarket own-brand option is suitable without checking the product

    A retailer’s breakfast range doesn’t tell you which pack of aniseed sprinkles is currently available.

    If you’re considering an alternative, check the product itself, the pack size and the label before comparing it with De Ruijter.

  • Skipping the label because aniseed sprinkles are just a topping

    According to PLUS product information, De Ruijter Blue and White Aniseed Sprinkles contain wheat and cereals containing gluten. This matters if you need to avoid wheat or gluten.

    Check the ingredients and allergen information on the current pack of the variant you’re buying.

  • Assuming the nutritional information for one variant applies to all aniseed sprinkles

    PLUS lists 79 g of sugars per 100 g for De Ruijter Blue and White Aniseed Sprinkles. This figure applies to this variant and not necessarily to every pack of aniseed sprinkles.

    Check the nutritional information per 100 g on the pack you plan to use.
