Who is this relevant to?

Solo traveller looking to keep leftovers to a minimum

You’re looking for aniseed sprinkles for a few breakfasts during your summer holiday and want to plan ahead for what to do with an opened box. Albert Heijn and PLUS list a 270 g box of crushed De Ruijter aniseed sprinkles.

Someone who uses them as a spread or topping

You want to use aniseed sprinkles in more than one way. PLUS describes its crushed De Ruijter aniseed sprinkles as suitable for bread, crispbread and yoghurt.

Buyer checking allergens

You need to check the ingredients before buying. The De Ruijter Feestmuisjes described by PLUS contain wheat starch. Always check the current label for the variant you choose.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, work out how much you expect to use during your holiday. Then choose the form that suits your breakfast or topping, and check the packaging before you buy.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Quantity and leftovers Compare the net weights of 270 g and 330 g, and read the storage advice on the box. If I’m travelling alone, I don’t want to come home with a large opened box. A small supply is the top priority for around 50% of consumers.
Form and use Choose between crushed and whole sprinkles based on how you plan to use them. I want to use the same box for different breakfasts, for example on crispbread and in yoghurt. This is the main consideration for around 30% of consumers.
Ingredients and label Check the ingredients and allergen information for your chosen variant on the physical packaging. If I need to avoid certain ingredients, I want to be able to check the label before taking aniseed sprinkles with me. For around 20% of consumers, this is the first thing they consider when buying.

Common mistakes

  • Mistaking aniseed sprinkles for a snack bar

    The aniseed sprinkles described here come in 270 g or 330 g boxes. A box may contain more than you need for a single snack.

    Check the packaging and buy aniseed sprinkles if you want to use them as a bread topping or garnish.

  • Choosing based on colour alone

    The ingredients may be the deciding factor: PLUS lists wheat starch in De Ruijter Feestmuisjes.

    Check the ingredients and allergens for the specific colour variant you want to buy.

  • Assuming an online ingredients list is definitive

    Ingredients and allergy information can change, as Albert Heijn notes in its product information.

    Check the physical packaging when your order arrives and before eating, especially if you need to avoid certain ingredients.
