Who is this choice relevant to?

Organiser of a small coffee group

You want enough aniseed sprinkles for rusks or bread, without opening several boxes unnecessarily for a single get-together. Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS list 270 g or 330 g boxes.

Host looking for a finer topping

You’re choosing mainly based on texture and want to sprinkle them over bread, rusks or yoghurt. Jumbo describes its crushed variety as suitable for these uses.

Shopper who wants to check the label

You want to check the nutritional information or allergens for yourself or a guest. Jumbo lists 79 g of sugars per 100 g for De Ruijter Feest Muisjes, and 12 g of sugars per stated 15 g serving. Albert Heijn notes that product information can change.

What should you look for when choosing?

Work out how many coffee get-togethers you’re catering for, then choose the texture. Before serving, check the label on the product you’ve bought if the ingredients or nutritional information are important to a guest.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Quantity and stock Check the weight per box and the best-before date. Decide whether you’ll use the sprinkles at another coffee get-together. I want enough to share, but don’t want to open more boxes than necessary. For around 45% of consumers, this is their main consideration when deciding how much to buy.
Texture when serving Choose between 330 g of whole sprinkles and 270 g of crushed sprinkles, as listed in the ranges at Albert Heijn and Jumbo. I want a topping for bread, rusks or yoghurt with a texture that suits how I’m serving it. Around 33% of consumers say texture is their top priority.
Nutritional information and allergens Check the ingredients, allergens and nutritional values per 100 g or per serving on the box you buy. If a guest needs to avoid certain ingredients or is keeping an eye on their sugar intake, I want to serve the right variety. This is the main concern when buying for around 22% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Buying extra boxes because you’re looking for a multipack

    Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS list individual 270 g or 330 g boxes. Buying several boxes is a way to stock up, not necessarily a more convenient pack size.

    Count your guests and planned coffee get-togethers before deciding whether one box will be enough.

  • Treating whole and crushed sprinkles as the same variety

    The two product types have different textures. Jumbo describes its crushed sprinkles as suitable for bread, rusks and yoghurt; if you want visible whole grains, look for a different variety.

    Choose the texture you want for your topping first, then check the weight of the box you’re considering.

  • Relying only on a product page you viewed earlier

    Albert Heijn warns that ingredients, nutritional values and allergen information can change. This is particularly important if a guest needs to avoid certain ingredients.

    Before serving, read the label on the box you actually bought.

  • Overlooking the sugar content of Feest Muisjes

    Jumbo lists 79 g of sugars per 100 g for De Ruijter Feest Muisjes, and 12 g per stated 15 g serving. These values apply to this variety and serving size.

    Check the nutritional information for the variety you’ve chosen and decide how much you want to serve as a topping.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a multipack for a coffee afternoon?

Not if one box is enough for your guests and planned use. Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS list individual 270 g and 330 g boxes. Buy several if you need them for a larger group or future coffee get-togethers.

When should I choose crushed rather than whole sprinkles?

Choose crushed sprinkles if you want a finer texture on bread, rusks or yoghurt; Jumbo describes these uses for its crushed variety. If you want visible whole grains, choose whole sprinkles and check the different pack weight.

Can I rely on a product page for ingredient and allergen information?

Use the product page to compare varieties, but check the label on the box you’ve bought before serving. Albert Heijn says that ingredients, nutritional values and allergen information can change.

How should I store an opened box of sprinkles?

Follow the storage instructions on the packaging and close the box carefully after use. If you’re saving the rest for another coffee get-together, also check the best-before date on the box.
