Who is this choice relevant to?

Host of a small group

You want to serve crushed aniseed sprinkles on something like crispbread, yoghurt or cake, without basing the quantity solely on the size of the bag. Albert Heijn lists 45 servings of 6 g for the 270 g pack; how much you use depends on what you plan to serve.

Organiser of a larger game night

You’re expecting to serve food more than once, so you’re comparing the 270 g pack of crushed aniseed sprinkles with 330 g packs of coloured varieties. A bigger bag is only a suitable alternative if you’re happy to serve a different type of product.

Buyer checking the label for guests

You want to know which ingredients and allergens are in the variety you’ve chosen before sharing it with your guests. Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for De Ruijter crushed aniseed sprinkles; check the label on the pack you’re actually serving.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether you want crushed aniseed sprinkles or whether a coloured variety would also work. Then choose the quantity to suit what you’ll be serving during game night.

What to consider What should you check? Who is it important to?
Enough for your serving plan Compare the net weight with how many times you plan to serve the sprinkles. The 270 g pack lists 45 labelled servings of 6 g; that doesn’t mean it will serve a fixed number of guests. If I want to serve something at several points during the game, I don’t want to run out of sprinkles halfway through. Having enough in the pack is the top priority for around 29% of consumers.
Product type and colour Check the full product name: the 270 g pack of crushed aniseed sprinkles and the 330 g packs of coloured sprinkles are different product types. For my table, it matters whether I want crushed aniseed sprinkles or would rather serve a coloured variety. Around 21% of consumers give this choice top priority.
Leftovers Think about how much you’ll actually use and follow the storage instructions on the pack for anything left over. If I’m only serving something with sprinkles once, I don’t want to choose a bigger bag than I need. Avoiding leftovers is the main consideration for around 21% of consumers.
Label and allergens Before serving, read the ingredients, allergen warnings and nutritional information for the variety you’ve bought. If needed, compare the nutritional values per 100 g. When I’m serving guests, I want to know exactly what’s in the pack before I put it on the table. Checking the label is the top concern for around 29% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a 330 g bag is a bigger pack of crushed aniseed sprinkles

    The larger packs shown are coloured varieties, not a confirmed larger pack of the crushed variety. So, in this case, more contents also means choosing a different product.

    Check the full product name before deciding whether colour and quantity matter more to you than crushed aniseed sprinkles for your game night.

  • Choosing the biggest bag without a serving plan

    The weight alone won’t tell you how much you’ll use on crispbread, yoghurt or cake. The 45 servings of 6 g listed on the 270 g pack are labelled serving sizes, not recommended amounts per guest.

    Estimate how many times you’ll serve them in advance, then choose a pack that suits your plans.

  • Treating online allergen information as definitive

    Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for De Ruijter crushed aniseed sprinkles. Ingredients and warnings may vary by product and pack.

    Read the label on the variety you’ve bought before sharing the sprinkles with your guests.

A relevant brand to consider

De Ruijter

De Ruijter offers a 270 g pack of crushed aniseed sprinkles. Albert Heijn and Jumbo also stock 330 g packs of coloured varieties.

  • The product names and pack weights make it easy to tell the crushed and coloured varieties apart.
  • The 330 g varieties are not confirmed as larger packs of crushed aniseed sprinkles; check the ingredients and allergens for the pack you choose.

Frequently asked questions

Is 270 g of crushed aniseed sprinkles enough for a board game night?

It depends on what you’re serving and how much you make. Albert Heijn lists 45 servings of 6 g for De Ruijter crushed aniseed sprinkles, but the labelled serving size won’t necessarily match how much each guest takes.

Are the 330 g coloured sprinkles the same as crushed aniseed sprinkles?

No, the 330 g packs shown are separate coloured varieties, not confirmed larger packs of crushed aniseed sprinkles. Check the exact product name if you specifically want the crushed variety.

Which allergens should I check if I’m serving guests?

Check the allergens on the label of the exact variety you’re serving. Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for De Ruijter crushed aniseed sprinkles; according to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, allergen information for pre-packed products appears on the label.

How should I store any aniseed sprinkles left over after game night?

For the 270 g pack of crushed aniseed sprinkles, Albert Heijn advises storing the product in a dry place. Follow the instructions on the pack you’ve bought, too.

How can I compare the sugar content of different aniseed sprinkle varieties?

Compare the nutritional information per 100 g for the varieties you’re considering. Albert Heijn lists 79 g of sugars per 100 g for De Ruijter crushed aniseed sprinkles; the Netherlands Nutrition Centre points out that serving sizes are set by manufacturers, which can make comparisons less clear.
