Holidaymakers planning their supplies

If you’re buying aniseed sprinkles for several breakfasts or visits, you’ll want the pack size to suit how much you’ll use. Jumbo and Albert Heijn list, among others, 330 g and 270 g packs.

Shoppers looking for a particular shape or colour

For crispbread, bread or a treat, the difference between whole and crushed aniseed sprinkles may be important. Also check that the colour option suits your plans; Jumbo and PLUS show different options from De Ruijter.

Shoppers who need to check the label

If ingredients or allergens matter to anyone in your party, read the label on the pack. Albert Heijn notes that product information may change.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide which type you need and how much you expect to use. Check the information on the pack before serving.

What to consider What to check when buying Who is this most important for?
Pack size Compare the pack size with the number of breakfasts or treats you’re planning. If I’m buying aniseed sprinkles for several occasions during the holiday, I want to choose a pack size I’ll use. Around 45% of consumers put this first.
Shape and colour Choose whole or crushed sprinkles, then see which colour option suits you. For my treat or topping, the texture or colour I want may matter more than the pack size. Around 33% of consumers put this first.
Label and storage Read the ingredients, allergens, best-before information and storage instructions on the pack. If I need to take ingredients or allergens into account, I want to be able to check the current pack before serving anything. For around 22% of consumers, checking the label is their first concern.

Common mistakes when choosing

  • Looking only at the quantity

    A 330 g pack won’t automatically suit your plans better than a 270 g pack of crushed sprinkles. Both the type and the amount you’ll use matter.

    First decide what you need the sprinkles for, then match the pack size to how much you plan to use.

  • Choosing a different type from the one you need

    Whole and crushed aniseed sprinkles have different textures. A particular colour option may also matter for a specific treat.

    Choose the type and colour before comparing pack sizes.

  • Relying on outdated product information online

    Albert Heijn says that ingredients and allergen information, among other details, may change. So an earlier visit to a product page isn’t enough if this information matters to your choice.

    Read the label on the pack before buying and serving, and follow the storage instructions on the pack.

Frequently asked questions

When should I choose 330 g of whole sprinkles instead of crushed sprinkles?

Choose 330 g of whole sprinkles if that type suits your breakfast or treat and you’ll use the contents. If you need a crushed texture, the 270 g option listed by Jumbo is an alternative.

How should I store De Ruijter crushed sprinkles?

Jumbo says to store De Ruijter crushed sprinkles in a dry place. Also follow the best-before and storage information on your own pack.

Should I check for allergens in packaged aniseed sprinkles?

Yes. Read the allergen information on the pack if the ingredients matter to you or someone else. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains how allergens must be listed on food labels.

Can I rely on the ingredients information on a product page?

For the product you’re serving, use the current label on the pack. Albert Heijn says that ingredients, nutritional values and allergen information may change.
