If you want organic aniseed sprinkles, only choose a variant if the organic label or EU organic logo appears on the packaging or product page for that exact variant. Skal Biocontrole and RVO describe the green EU leaf as a mark of organic products. Albert Heijn and Jumbo also list regular De Ruijter aniseed sprinkles, but a shop’s general organic range doesn’t make those variants organic. For a late-night snack, also check the sugars on the label, your portion size and any allergens.
