If you want to measure out some aniseed sprinkles for a little snack, De Ruijter Gestampte muisjes has a stated serving of 6 g, compared with 15 g per serving for the whole varieties reviewed, according to Albert Heijn’s product information. A smaller stated serving does not mean the sprinkles are individually wrapped. Compare the nutritional information per 100 g too, and check the allergens on the label.

Common mistakes
-
Mistaking a stated serving for a portion sachet
The 6 g listed on the De Ruijter Gestampte muisjes product page is a serving size, not an individually wrapped portion.
If you want pre-portioned single servings, check the packaging photo, product description and number of sachets before buying.
-
Comparing serving sizes alone
Using a smaller amount does not change the nutritional value per 100 g. The product information for the crushed and whole varieties reviewed lists 79 g of sugars per 100 g.
Read the nutritional information per 100 g, then consider how much you add to your snack.
-
Overlooking allergens in sprinkles
The varieties reviewed list wheat and cereals containing gluten. Choosing crushed or whole sprinkles does not change this consideration.
Check the ingredients and allergens on the current packaging before use.
