Who are the aniseed sprinkles for?

Students organising a small housewarming get-together

You want to put out aniseed sprinkles for your housemates and guests without opening several packs straight away. PLUS lists approximately 22 servings for a 330 g pack of pink-and-white sprinkles; how much you need depends on how much you serve per person.

People moving house who want to decorate the table

You’re looking for an eye-catching topping for Dutch rusk, cupcakes or yoghurt, for example. Choosing between celebration sprinkles and a pink-and-white variety comes down to the colour and presentation you want, not just the pack weight.

Organisers sharing food with others

If guests have questions about ingredients or allergens, you should be able to show them the pack you’ve chosen. The De Ruijter Feestmuisjes and pink-and-white sprinkles checked list wheat and cereals containing gluten; also read the storage information on the label.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide how much you want to serve at your housewarming get-together, then choose the shape and colour. Before sharing, check the label on the variety you’ve selected.

What to consider What to check when buying 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.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming 330 g will be enough for every housewarming get-together

    PLUS’s estimate of around 22 servings for 330 g of pink-and-white sprinkles is based on approximately 15 g per serving. If you use more per person or serve them more than once, one pack may not be enough.

    Count your guests and serving occasions, then work out how much you want to use. Buy more than one pack if needed.

  • Treating whole and crushed sprinkles as interchangeable

    Whole celebration and coloured sprinkles are also used for decoration; PLUS suggests crushed sprinkles for bread, Dutch rusk and yoghurt. The shop listings checked include whole varieties in 330 g packs and a crushed variety in a 270 g pack.

    Decide which shape and use you want first, then compare the net weight of the packs.

  • Putting the pack away before guests can read the label

    The checked De Ruijter Feestmuisjes and pink-and-white sprinkles list wheat and cereals containing gluten. A verbal description alone doesn’t give guests all the information on the current label.

    Keep the pack available when serving and check in advance whether any guests need a suitable alternative.

  • Planning for a specific colour based on a single shop listing

    Albert Heijn shows blue-and-white sprinkles in a category overview, while a separate product page lists a different weight and a different availability status. This could throw off your plans for a particular colour or quantity.

    Check the latest listing shortly before you buy, or ask in store about the variety and pack size you want.

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.
