Who is this important for? |
| Servings and pack size |
Compare the net weight with the number of servings you’re planning. PLUS’s estimate of around 22 servings for 330 g of pink-and-white sprinkles is based on approximately 15 g per serving. |
If I’m putting out Dutch rusk for a small group, I want to have enough sprinkles without ending up with lots left over. An estimated 38% of consumers prioritise planning portions. |
| Colour and shape |
Check whether you want whole celebration or coloured sprinkles, or crushed sprinkles for scattering. Also check the pack size of the specific variety. |
For a table with decorated rusks or cupcakes, I care more about how they look than whether the sprinkles are crushed. Around 25% of consumers prioritise presentation. |
| Ingredients and storage |
Read the ingredients, allergens, best-before date and storage instructions on the pack. The checked De Ruijter Feestmuisjes and pink-and-white sprinkles list wheat and cereals containing gluten. |
When I’m sharing food with housemates and guests, I want to know what’s in the sprinkles I’ve chosen and how to store any leftovers. Ingredients and allergens are estimated to be the main concern for 37% of consumers. |

Frequently asked questions
Is 330 g of aniseed sprinkles enough for a small housewarming get-together?
It can be, if you serve around 15 g per person: PLUS lists approximately 22 servings for 330 g of pink-and-white sprinkles. If you use more on each rusk, cupcake or bowl of yoghurt, work out again how many packs you’ll need.
When should I choose whole or crushed sprinkles?
Choose whole celebration or coloured sprinkles if decoration matters, and crushed sprinkles if you want that texture on bread, Dutch rusk or yoghurt. The shop listings checked show whole varieties in 330 g packs and a crushed variety in a 270 g pack.
Are the De Ruijter sprinkles mentioned gluten-free?
The Feestmuisjes and pink-and-white sprinkles checked are not: their ingredient information lists wheat starch, and the allergens wheat and cereals containing gluten. Read the label on the actual pack for every variety you choose.
How should I store leftover aniseed sprinkles?
Follow the storage instructions and best-before date on the pack of sprinkles you have. Keep the pack sealed after opening and check the label before serving any leftovers later.
Can I rely on online ingredient information for guests?
Use online ingredient information to choose a variety, but read the label on the pack before serving. Albert Heijn notes that ingredients, nutritional values and allergy information may change.
