Start by working out how many people you’re catering for, how many times you’ll serve them and how much aniseed sprinkles you want to use on each morning snack. One 330 g pack won’t necessarily be enough for a group. Then choose between whole 330 g sprinkles for a colour theme and crushed 270 g sprinkles for a finer topping. Check the label of each variety you choose for ingredients, nutritional values and allergens.
You’re preparing a morning snack for several people. The whole varieties shown by Jumbo and Albert Heijn come in 330 g packs, while the crushed variety comes in a 270 g pack. Work out how many packs you’ll need based on how much you plan to sprinkle on.
You want to serve aniseed sprinkles on different snacks. Product descriptions from PLUS and Jumbo mention bread, crispbreads and yoghurt, among other things. Crushed sprinkles make a finer topping than whole ones.
You want to work out how much topping to use and take ingredients and allergens into account. The party and pink-and-white sprinkles described by PLUS and Jumbo list 79 g of sugars per 100 g, as well as wheat or gluten-containing cereals. Check the label of the variety you’ll actually be serving.
First, decide how much you want to serve. Then choose the topping style and colour, and check the information on every pack before serving.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who is it important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Having enough in stock | Compare 330 g packs of whole sprinkles with 270 g packs of crushed sprinkles, and work out how many you’ll need based on the number of people, servings and how much you plan to use. Jumbo and Albert Heijn list these pack sizes. | When catering for a group, I want to know in advance how many packs I’ll need so I don’t run out of topping halfway through. Having enough in stock is the top priority for roughly 36% of consumers. |
| Amount of topping | Compare the nutritional values of similar products per 100 g and decide how much to sprinkle on each snack. PLUS and Jumbo list 79 g of sugars per 100 g for the party and pink-and-white varieties described. | I want to serve a celebratory snack without mindlessly sprinkling straight from the pack. The amount of topping is the first consideration for around 29% of consumers. |
| Wheat and gluten | Check the ingredients and allergen information for every variety you choose. Use separate serving utensils if you’re also offering a separate option for guests with different dietary requirements. | If a guest needs to avoid wheat or gluten, I want to know what’s in the topping before setting the table. This check takes priority for around 21% of consumers. |
| Colour and style | Choose a colour to suit your presentation, or opt for crushed sprinkles if you want a finer topping. Bear in mind the difference between the 330 g and 270 g packs. | For a party table, I want the colour to fit the theme, or I might prefer a finer sprinkle on bread or yoghurt. Presentation or topping style is the deciding factor for around 14% of consumers. |
Jumbo and Albert Heijn list 330 g packs and 270 g packs of crushed sprinkles in their aniseed sprinkle categories. One pack may not be enough for several servings.
Count the guests and servings, decide how much you want to sprinkle each time, then work out how many packs you’ll need.
The product information for the party and pink-and-white varieties described by PLUS and Jumbo lists sugars and wheat. Choosing a different colour doesn’t replace checking the nutritional values and allergens.
Choose a colour to suit your presentation, and check the current label for each variety separately.
Even a small amount of topping matters to a guest who needs to avoid wheat or gluten. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority points out that allergens must be listed on the label.
Keep the pack to hand when serving, and avoid contact between the sprinkles and a separate option for guests with different dietary requirements.
Serving sizes can vary between products, so values per serving don’t always give you a like-for-like comparison.
Compare similar products per 100 g, as the Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends, and check the ingredients list too.
