If you’re serving a large group and want a colourful topping that really stands out, look for whole aniseed sprinkles in 330 g packs. For bread, rusks or yoghurt, crushed aniseed sprinkles in 270 g packs are another option. Work out how many packs you need based on what you’re serving, and check the label on your chosen variety, especially if any guests need to avoid allergens.
If you’re catering for a big family gathering or an event, you’ll want to know in advance how many packs you need. Jumbo and Albert Heijn’s online ranges include relevant 270 g and 330 g packs of aniseed sprinkles; the quantity you need depends on what you’ll be serving them with.
Whole, colourful aniseed sprinkles create a different finish from crushed ones. PLUS suggests serving De Ruijter Feestmuisjes on bread, rusks, crackers and yoghurt, among other things.
If guests need to avoid certain ingredients or allergens, check the label on the exact pack you’re using. Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten in De Ruijter Crushed Aniseed Sprinkles. Don’t assume the same information applies to every other variety without checking.
First, decide how you’ll serve the sprinkles and how many topped slices or portions you want to make. Then choose the right product type and check the label on the packs before serving.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity | Count the portions you plan to top and compare the total amount needed with 270 g or 330 g packs. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre uses 15 g of aniseed sprinkles per slice as a nutritional reference, not as a fixed amount for every treat. | If I’m topping rusks for a large group, I want to buy enough without having lots left over. For around 45% of consumers, planning the quantity is the main concern. |

| Label | Read the ingredients, allergen information and nutrition details on the exact pack. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre gives 11.9 g of sugars per 15 g as a general reference for aniseed sprinkles; the amount may vary by product. | If I’m serving aniseed sprinkles to guests with specific dietary needs, I want to know what’s in the variety I’ve chosen first. Checking the label is the main concern for around 22% of consumers. |

Decide what you’ll be serving, then compare the varieties and pack sizes.
Ingredients can vary between products. Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten in De Ruijter Crushed Aniseed Sprinkles, but that doesn’t automatically tell you what’s on the label of another pack.

An option for serving blue and white aniseed sprinkles as a topping.
Pack size: 330 g. If guests have specific dietary needs, check the ingredients and allergen information on the pack you receive.
It depends on how many portions you’re topping and how much you use on each one. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre uses 15 g of aniseed sprinkles per slice in its nutritional reference; at that rate, 270 g works out at around 18 slices and 330 g at around 22. You may need a different amount for decoration or another use.
Choose whole, colourful sprinkles if you want a topping that stands out. Crushed sprinkles may be a better choice if you’ll mainly use them on bread, rusks or in yoghurt. Then check the pack size and product information for the variety you’ve chosen.
No, don’t assume they are without checking the label. Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten in De Ruijter Crushed Aniseed Sprinkles; check the allergen information on the exact pack for every variety.
Make sure guests can get information about any allergens present. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority includes catering among the situations in which consumers must also be given allergen information for unpackaged foods.
Store them in a dry place and reseal the pack after use. Check the pack you bought for the best-before date and any additional storage instructions.
