Which option is right for you?

Planning a small coffee morning

If aniseed sprinkles are just one of several toppings, choose a pack that suits what you’re likely to serve.

Planning for a larger group

Think about how many sprinkles you’ll need for the rusks, rolls or other dishes you plan to serve.

Hosting guests with allergy questions

You’ll want to check the ingredients and allergen information on the current packaging before serving.

What should you look for in aniseed sprinkles for a coffee morning?

First, decide how much you want to serve. Then check the label for each variant and make sure your chosen pack is available when you do your shopping.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Smaller pack Match the pack size to the number of guests and the other toppings you’ll be serving. If I only want to top a few rusks with sprinkles, I don’t want lots left over. That’s why around 40% of consumers prioritise a smaller quantity.
Quantity for the group Compare the weight in grams with how much you’ll need for all the dishes you plan to serve. With more guests, I want to make sure there are enough sprinkles for everyone. Having enough in the pack is the top priority for around 30% of consumers.
Ingredients and allergens Read the label for your chosen variant, even if you’ve already looked at the product information online. If a guest needs to avoid wheat or gluten, I want to know exactly what I’m serving. Ingredients and allergens are the main concern for around 20% of consumers.
Availability Check whether the variant you want is available at the shop and at the time you plan to do your shopping. I want to pick up the sprinkles along with the rest of my shopping. This practical consideration is the top priority for around 10% of consumers.

Common mistakes when choosing

  • Choosing a small pack without working out how much you need

    One pack may not be enough for a larger group, especially if you want to serve sprinkles with several different dishes.

    First, count how many rusks, rolls or portions you want to top. Then compare the pack sizes.

  • Treating online ingredient information as definitive

    Albert Heijn says that ingredient and allergen information can change. The Gestampte Muisjes we looked at list wheat and cereals containing gluten.

    Read the label on the packaging before serving, especially if a guest needs to avoid an allergen.

  • Choosing a colour variant that doesn’t suit the occasion

    Pink-and-white and blue-and-white sprinkles are mainly associated with a birth or an agreed colour theme, which may not suit a regular coffee morning.

    Choose a colour variant if it suits the occasion, or consider Feestmuisjes for a colourful option that works for a range of occasions.
