When choosing aniseed sprinkles for your pantry, don’t assume they come in individually wrapped bars: the options discussed here are sold in 270 g or 330 g boxes. If you only need a small amount for yourself, the 270 g box is the smaller option, provided you’re happy with crushed aniseed sprinkles. Also check the label for allergens and the best-before date.
You want to keep some aniseed sprinkles in the cupboard, but don’t need a large amount for a single occasion. Jumbo lists a 270 g box of crushed aniseed sprinkles; compare this with the 330 g boxes and consider how often you’ll use them.
Start by checking the label on the exact variant you’re considering. Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten in the celebration sprinkles and crushed aniseed sprinkles covered here.
You want the colour and shape to work with rusks or decorations. Compare whole pink and white or blue and white sprinkles with crushed aniseed sprinkles, and factor in the pack size too.
For pantry use, first choose a quantity that suits how often you’ll use them, then check the label. Colour and shape matter most when you’re buying sprinkles for a particular occasion.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|

| Ingredients and allergens | Check the ingredients list and the information about wheat and cereals containing gluten for the variant you’re choosing. | If wheat or gluten is something I need to avoid, I need to know what’s in the product before choosing a colour. For around 43% of consumers, ingredients and allergens would come first. |
| Colour and shape | Choose between whole or crushed sprinkles, and decide which colour suits the occasion. | If I’m using them on rusks or as decorations, I want the sprinkles to look right for the occasion. Colour and shape would matter most to around 14% of consumers. |
