For several lunch occasions or a small group lunch, the 330 g boxes are the largest consumer packs in the ranges reviewed at Albert Heijn and Jumbo. If you specifically want crushed aniseed sprinkles, you can choose the 270 g version. For lunch on the go, you’ll also need something to put them on, such as bread, rusks or yoghurt, and it’s practical to pack the sprinkles separately. Check the label on your chosen version before serving.
If you’ll be serving them on several lunch occasions, the amount in each box matters. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list 330 g boxes of aniseed sprinkles in their ranges. These are consumer packs, not catering packs.
There are different versions to suit your colour scheme. Jumbo lists party sprinkles, as well as blue and white and pink and white aniseed sprinkles, in 330 g boxes.
Aniseed sprinkles make a topping for bread, rusks or yoghurt, among other things. A separate, tightly sealed container for the sprinkles can make them easier to take with you.

Albert Heijn’s product information for De Ruijter Feestmuisjes lists wheat and cereals containing gluten, and 79 g of sugars per 100 g.

So check allergens and nutritional information for each version rather than relying on the brand name alone.

A 330 g box is the largest consumer pack in the ranges reviewed at Albert Heijn and Jumbo, but it’s not a catering pack. For a group lunch, work out how much you want to use and how many boxes you’ll need.
If you like, pack the sprinkles separately and add them to bread, rusks or yoghurt just before eating. Jumbo suggests these uses and advises storing the pack in a dry place; the product information doesn’t guarantee spill-proof transport.
Always check the allergen information on the packaging of the version you’re buying. Albert Heijn lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for De Ruijter Feestmuisjes; WorldwideHolland also lists milk in the flavouring of the crushed version it describes.
According to the Dutch Business Portal, mandatory label information must also be available online for pre-packed foods. When serving, check the physical packaging of the version you’ve bought as well.
