Choose a multipack if you can use nine boxes across several occasions: the De Ruijter Blue & White Aniseed Sprinkles bundle at bol contains 9 × 330 g, or 2,970 g in total. For one small occasion, a single 330 g box means less to store. Then choose the variant you want and check the label and best-before date before buying.
If you’re expecting several visits to meet your new baby, count how many occasions you’ll want to serve aniseed sprinkles. The bundle at bol contains nine individual 330 g boxes. PLUS describes one blue and white 330 g box as containing around 22 portions. Use this as a guide and check how much you’ll need each time.
For a small get-together, start by deciding which shape and colour you’d like. Jumbo lists individual 330 g boxes of coloured aniseed sprinkles and 270 g boxes of crushed aniseed sprinkles.
If you’d like to pack aniseed sprinkles as a sweet topping, consider the portion you have in mind and check the nutrition information. Also check the ingredients and allergen information for the exact variant you choose; Jumbo lists wheat and gluten in its party and crushed aniseed sprinkles.
Before your first shopping trip, work out how many occasions you’re planning for. Then compare the quantity in each box and the label of the variant you want to use.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who should pay particular attention? |
|---|---|---|
| Stock to share | Compare the number of boxes, the contents of each box and the best-before date. The bundle at bol contains 9 × 330 g. | If I’m stocking up for several visits to meet the baby, I want to know how many boxes I’ll actually use. Having enough to share is the top priority for around 50% of consumers. |
| A portion for the lunchbox | Check the portion size and sugar content in the nutrition information for your chosen variant; a multipack isn’t portion-controlled packaging. | For a lunchbox, I want to decide how much sweet topping to use each time, rather than basing it on how much I have at home. Portion size matters most to around 33% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the current ingredients list and allergen information on the packaging of the specific variant. | Before choosing a colour, I want to know whether the ingredients are suitable for the person who’ll be eating the sprinkles. Checking the label is the top priority for around 17% of consumers. |
A single 330 g box is different from the bundle of nine boxes listed by bol. For one small occasion, that bundle could leave you with more than you plan to use.
Check both the number of packs and the weight per pack before choosing.
The colour doesn’t tell you which ingredients and allergens are listed on the label for your chosen variant. Jumbo lists wheat and gluten in its party aniseed sprinkles.
Read the current packaging, even if you’ve bought that variant before.
Having more boxes doesn’t change how much you sprinkle on a slice of bread or a rusk. Joybuy lists 79 g of sugars per 100 g for the blue and white variant.
Check the nutrition information for your chosen variant and decide how much you’ll use for each occasion separately from how much you keep in stock.
Jumbo lists 330 g boxes of blue and white, pink and white, and party aniseed sprinkles, as well as 270 g boxes of crushed aniseed sprinkles. Bol also lists a bundle of blue and white sprinkles containing 9 × 330 g.
This 330 g pink box is suited to a small occasion or if you’re choosing just one colour. It’s a single pack, not a multipack.

A single pink box for anyone who wants one variant for a small occasion.
Contents: 330 g. Before use, check the current ingredients, allergen information, nutrition information and best-before date on the packaging.
No. The weight alone doesn’t make a box a multipack. Jumbo lists individual 330 g boxes; the bundle at bol contains nine individual 330 g boxes, or 2,970 g in total.
A single box keeps your supplies to a minimum if you only have one occasion or variant in mind. Jumbo lists 330 g boxes of coloured aniseed sprinkles and 270 g boxes of crushed aniseed sprinkles. Choose the type you want to use and check the contents on the packaging.
Check the amount you’ll use each time, the nutrition information and the allergens for your chosen variant. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises choosing foods that fit within the Wheel of Five for breakfast and lunch for children aged 4 to 12. So consider aniseed sprinkles as part of the whole lunch, not as a replacement for it.
Yes. According to the Dutch government’s business portal, mandatory label information for prepacked foods must also be available online and provided in Dutch. When your order arrives, check the current packaging of the variant you plan to use.
