Who is this relevant for?

If you only drink coffee and don’t want leftovers

You’re looking for something with an aniseed flavour for a quick coffee break. As Albert Heijn and Jumbo list De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes in a 270 g pack, you’ll want to know whether you’re likely to use it again as a topping.

If the type of sprinkles matters to you

You want something to sprinkle over bread, crispbread or yoghurt, and are choosing between crushed aniseed sprinkles and aniseed sugar sprinkles, which Albert Heijn describes as sugar sprinkles with an aniseed flavour.

If you check the label for yourself or your guests

You want to know which ingredients and allergens the product contains before serving it, and what the nutritional information says about sugar. For De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes, Jumbo lists wheat starch, wheat and cereals containing gluten.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether you want an individually wrapped bar or a sprinkle-on topping. If you’re comparing aniseed sprinkles to go with your coffee, the pack size, the type of sprinkles you prefer and the label will help you choose the right option for how you’ll use it.

Common mistakes

  • Mistaking crushed aniseed sprinkles for an individually wrapped snack bar

    Albert Heijn and Jumbo list De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes as a sprinkle-on topping in a 270 g pack. That’s different from a single, individually wrapped portion to have with your coffee.

    Consider whether you’ll use the pack more than once as a topping. Also check the best-before date and storage advice on the pack.

  • Assuming all aniseed sprinkles are the same

    Crushed aniseed sprinkles, aniseed sugar sprinkles and coloured aniseed sprinkles come in different forms. The pack sizes listed also vary: Albert Heijn lists 270 g of crushed aniseed sprinkles, 300 g of aniseed sugar sprinkles and 330 g packs of coloured varieties.

    First choose the type of sprinkles you want, then consider how much of the pack you’re likely to use.

  • Relying only on the online description for allergen information

    For De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes, Jumbo lists wheat starch, wheat and cereals containing gluten. This is important information if you’re serving something with aniseed to yourself or your guests.

    Before buying or serving, check the ingredients and allergen information on the pack you’ll actually be using.
