Common shopping mistakes
-
Confusing the number of packs with the total quantity
A 270 g pack of crushed aniseed sprinkles contains less than a 330 g pack of standard sprinkles, as shown in the ranges at Jumbo and Albert Heijn. So the same number of packs won’t give you the same total weight.
Work out the total quantity you need, then add up the weight of each pack you’ve chosen.
-
Assuming all colour varieties have the same ingredients
Ingredients can vary between varieties. PLUS’s information on celebration sprinkles and Joybuy’s information on blue and white aniseed sprinkles mention wheat or gluten.
Check the label on every pack you’re serving, even if you’ve bought sprinkles from the same brand before.
