Common mistakes

  • Mistaking a serving size for an individually wrapped snack

    The 6 g serving of De Ruijter Crushed Aniseed Sprinkles isn’t a separate bar or individually wrapped portion. Albert Heijn lists a 270 g pack containing 45 servings.

    Think about how many rusks you want to serve and whether you’ll use the leftover sprinkles in other ways, too.

  • Treating crushed and coloured sprinkles as the same variety

    Albert Heijn lists crushed sprinkles separately from the pink-and-white and blue-and-white varieties. So choosing a fine texture won’t automatically give you the colour you want.

    Before buying, check the name and image of the exact variety you want to serve.

  • Relying only on online product information for allergen details

    According to Jumbo, De Ruijter Crushed Aniseed Sprinkles contain wheat starch and list wheat and cereals containing gluten as allergens. Product information can change.

    Before serving the sprinkles, check the ingredients, allergens and any warnings on the current packaging.

  • Storing rusk and sprinkles in open or damp conditions

    Jumbo says to store De Ruijter Crushed Aniseed Sprinkles in a dry place. Rusk may go soft or lose flavour if it isn’t stored properly.

    Store the sprinkles in a dry place and seal any opened rusk well, keeping it somewhere cool and dry.
