Who is this choice relevant to?

The sugar-conscious Oranje fan

You want to serve something festive, but having less sugar matters more than the specific flavour of aniseed sprinkles. Compare the ‘of which sugars’ information on the packaging of the products you’re considering; other types of bread topping may have a different flavour and texture.

The aniseed fan who wants a topping to scatter

You’re looking for aniseed sprinkles to top bread, rusks, yoghurt or a homemade treat. According to Jumbo’s product listing, you can use De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes for these purposes. Don’t choose them solely because of a search term suggesting they contain less sugar.

You want to know what’s in your chosen variety before serving it. Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes. Check the ingredients and allergen information on the specific pack you buy.

What should you look for when choosing?

Before setting up your Oranje viewing table, decide what matters most: less sugar, the aniseed flavour and appearance of aniseed sprinkles, or the ingredients in your chosen variety.

What to consider What should you check? Who is this most important to?
Less sugar Compare ‘of which sugars’ per 100 g on the latest packaging and check that any reduced-sugar claim applies to that exact variety. Jumbo lists 79 g of sugars per 100 g for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes. I want a bread topping for the match-day table, but a verifiable lower-sugar option matters more than the flavour of aniseed sprinkles. This sugar preference comes first for around 56% of consumers.
Aniseed flavour and how to use it Choose aniseed sprinkles if you want a topping for bread, rusks, yoghurt or baking; chocolate sprinkles are a different product. For my treat, I want to keep the aniseed flavour and a decorative topping I can scatter. This matters most to around 22% of consumers.
Ingredients and allergens Read the ingredients and allergen information for the exact variety. Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming standard aniseed sprinkles are a reduced-sugar product

    A search term tells you nothing about the nutritional information on the pack in your hand. Jumbo lists 79 g of sugars per 100 g for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes.

    Check the latest ‘of which sugars’ information per 100 g for the exact variety, along with any reduced-sugar claim.

  • Treating reduced-sugar chocolate sprinkles as aniseed sprinkles

    Albert Heijn shows chocolate sprinkles with a reduced-sugar claim as a bread topping, but they don’t have the same aniseed flavour and texture as aniseed sprinkles.

    Decide before you buy whether the aniseed flavour is essential. If less sugar matters more, compare the latest nutritional information for the alternatives.

  • Guessing allergens from the brand or colour

    For De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes, Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten. Don’t assume this information also applies to another variety without checking.

    Before serving, read the ingredients and allergen information on the specific pack.
