If you want to share aniseed sprinkles with several people as a late-night snack, the whole-sprinkle packs we looked at contain more than the 270 g pack of crushed sprinkles shown by Jumbo: 330 g compared with 270 g. Choose crushed sprinkles if you want a finer topping for crispbread or yoghurt. With whole sprinkles, you can also choose a colour to suit your presentation. Check the nutritional information and allergen labelling on each variant before serving.
If you want to put one pack on the table or add sprinkles to a range of snacks, the net weight is a useful place to start. The whole De Ruijter sprinkles we looked at come in 330 g packs. You can decide how much to serve.
Whole pink and white or blue and white sprinkles make a colourful topping for crispbread or cakes, for example. Choose a colour to suit the occasion, but don’t use it as a guide to nutritional value.
If you want to decide in advance how much to put in a bowl, check the nutritional information per 100 g and per portion. The De Ruijter variants we looked at list wheat, so if anyone has an allergy, always check the label on the pack you’re serving.
First, decide whether you’re looking for a larger amount to share or a particular type of sprinkle. Then check the nutritional information and ingredients for the exact variant, especially if any guests need to avoid allergens.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Amount to share | Compare the net weight: the whole-sprinkle variants we looked at are 330 g, while the crushed variant is 270 g. Decide how much you want to put out. | When I put something out for several people, I want there to be enough without automatically serving the whole pack.

| Sugars and portion size | Check the nutritional information per 100 g and, where given, per portion. Albert Heijn lists a 15 g portion for Feestmuisjes. | I want to know how much I’m putting in a bowl, rather than keep taking more from the pack without noticing. Portion size comes first for around 30% of consumers. |
| Allergens | Check the ingredients and allergen information on the exact pack. The De Ruijter variants we looked at list wheat. | If someone at the table needs to avoid wheat, I want to know what’s in the chosen variant before serving it. Allergen checks are the main concern for around 20% of consumers. |
A 330 g pack gives you plenty to share, but pack size doesn’t tell you what an appropriate portion is. The sprinkles we looked at are a sweet spread or topping.
