Choose aniseed sprinkles by product type and pack size, not by squeeze-bottle size. Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS list dry aniseed sprinkles in 270 g or 330 g packs; choose whole or crushed sprinkles depending on what you want to serve. Before checkout, check the exact variety, ingredients and delivery options for your postcode.
Who is this choice relevant to?
Anyone ordering aniseed sprinkles for visitors meeting their new baby
You want whole sprinkles in a suitable colour and check the pack size if several people will be sharing them. PLUS describes its 330 g blue and white variety as providing around 22 portions; that figure does not automatically apply to other varieties.
Anyone who wants to serve aniseed sprinkles without any fuss
You might be looking for a squeeze bottle to help prevent spills. However, the aniseed sprinkles on Albert Heijn and Jumbo’s product pages are dry, sugar-coated aniseed seeds. Choose the pack you want first, and don’t assume that a squeeze bottle for liquids is suitable for sprinkling them.
Anyone checking ingredients or allergens
You want to know what’s in your chosen variety. Albert Heijn’s pink and white sprinkles and Jumbo’s party sprinkles list wheat and cereals containing gluten. Check the label on the pack you receive before serving them, too.
What should you look for when ordering?
First decide whether you want whole or crushed aniseed sprinkles. Then compare the pack size of the exact variety and check the product information and delivery options before checkout.

Common mistakes
-
Choosing a squeeze bottle as if aniseed sprinkles were liquid
The aniseed sprinkles described by Albert Heijn and Jumbo are dry, sugar-coated aniseed seeds. A squeeze bottle designed for liquids is therefore not an obvious way to dispense them.
Choose the sprinkles you want to serve first. If you also want to use a dispenser, check that it’s suitable for food and dry sprinkles.
-
Assuming one variety has the same ingredients as another
Albert Heijn’s pink and white sprinkles and Jumbo’s party sprinkles list wheat and cereals containing gluten. That doesn’t tell you which ingredients are in every other colour or variety.
Read the information for the exact product and check the pack label when it arrives, especially if allergens are important to your choice.
-
Assuming all packs have the same weight or number of portions
Albert Heijn lists whole aniseed sprinkles in 330 g packs alongside crushed sprinkles in 270 g packs. The figure of around 22 portions given by PLUS applies to its 330 g blue and white variety.
Check the pack size and any portion information for your chosen variety. Before checkout, also see which delivery or collection options are available for your postcode.

Frequently asked questions
Can I serve aniseed sprinkles in a regular squeeze bottle?
Don’t assume that a squeeze bottle designed for liquids is suitable for dry aniseed sprinkles. Albert Heijn and Jumbo describe the products reviewed as sugar-coated aniseed seeds sold in packs. If you want to dispense them using a separate dispenser, check that it’s suitable for food and dry sprinkles.
Which pack should I choose for visitors meeting my new baby?
Choose a variety with a colour, product type and quantity that suit the occasion. PLUS says its 330 g blue and white aniseed sprinkles provide around 22 portions. Crushed sprinkles are a different product type; Albert Heijn and PLUS list them in 270 g packs.
Should I check the allergens after ordering online?
Yes, read the label on the pack you receive before serving. Albert Heijn’s pink and white sprinkles and Jumbo’s party sprinkles list wheat and cereals containing gluten; check the information for the exact variety you’ve chosen.
How should I store aniseed sprinkles after delivery?
Store them in a dry place, as Jumbo advises for its party sprinkles. Always check the label on the pack you receive for storage instructions and the best-before date.
