For a general office treat, De Ruijter Feestmuisjes in a 330 g pack are a sensible choice: you avoid committing to a pink-and-white or blue-and-white colour scheme. If one of those colours suits the celebration, the corresponding 330 g variety is an option. Choose crushed aniseed sprinkles in a 270 g pack if you’d prefer a finer topping and a smaller quantity. Aniseed sprinkles are intended as a bread topping or garnish, so make sure you have something to serve them with and check the label of your chosen variety before sharing.
You want to be able to offer aniseed sprinkles on several occasions without choosing a colour associated with a birth. De Ruijter Feestmuisjes are available in a 330 g pack; also decide what you’ll serve them on for colleagues to enjoy.
You want to choose pink-and-white or blue-and-white sprinkles because the colour has been chosen to suit the occasion. PLUS lists both colour varieties in 330 g packs.
You want to know which ingredients and allergens are listed on the chosen pack before sharing it. The label for De Ruijter Feestmuisjes listed by PLUS names wheat and cereals containing gluten; check other varieties separately.
First decide whether the colour needs to suit a particular celebration. Then choose the quantity based on how many times you’ll be serving them, and read the label of the variety you plan to share.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity | Compare the 330 g and 270 g pack sizes with the number of colleagues and occasions. Based on the 15 g reference serving used for aniseed sprinkles by the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, these work out at around 22 and 18 servings respectively; the amount people actually use may vary. | If several colleagues will be helping themselves from the same pack, I want to avoid it running out part-way through the treat. Around 50% of consumers prioritise having enough in the pack. |
| Colour and occasion | Choose between the general celebration variety and a pink-and-white or blue-and-white variety to suit a specific theme. | For a celebration with a chosen colour, I want the sprinkles to complement the presentation; for a general treat, that isn’t necessary. The occasion is the deciding factor for around 30% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the label on the exact variety and keep the information available when serving it to a group. The label for Feestmuisjes listed by PLUS names wheat and cereals containing gluten. | If colleagues need to take ingredients or allergens into account, I want to be able to check what’s in the chosen sprinkles before serving. This is the main concern for around 20% of consumers. |
Based on the Netherlands Nutrition Centre’s 15 g reference serving, 330 g works out at around 22 servings. That doesn’t tell you how many colleagues will actually use them: people may sprinkle on more or less.
Estimate the number of people and occasions before deciding how many packs you’ll need.
Pink-and-white or blue-and-white may suit a specific theme, but it gives a general office treat a more distinctive look.
Choose Feestmuisjes if you don’t want a colour theme; save the colour varieties for an occasion where that choice is intentional.
The label for De Ruijter Feestmuisjes listed by PLUS names wheat and cereals containing gluten. Colleagues can’t tell this information from the sprinkles themselves.
Keep the packaging with the treat or make sure the information for the exact variety you’re serving remains available.
PLUS describes aniseed sprinkles as a bread topping or garnish, for example on bread, crispbread and yoghurt. Simply putting out a pack of sprinkles doesn’t provide anything to serve them with.
Decide in advance what you’ll serve them on and have it ready alongside the sprinkles.
This range includes Feestmuisjes and pink-and-white or blue-and-white sprinkles in 330 g packs, as well as crushed aniseed sprinkles in a 270 g pack. Albert Heijn and PLUS list these varieties.
These Joybuy products are 330 g colour varieties for a treat where blue or pink has been chosen to suit the occasion. The colour choice is less obvious for a general office snack tin; with either variety, make sure you also have something to serve the sprinkles on.
