Don’t choose aniseed sprinkles as a substitute for an individual bar: according to Albert Heijn, De Ruijter Feestmuisjes are used as a loose topping or decoration. So, for a school fair, you’ll need a separate base product and a clearly defined portion, provided the school allows edible treats. Check all the ingredients too: Albert Heijn lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for this variety.
You want to decorate a base product, such as a cupcake, with aniseed sprinkles rather than offer a bar as a standalone snack. Decide in advance how you’ll serve each item and check what the school’s policy allows.
You want to make sure every part of the treat is suitable for the children who may receive it. Albert Heijn lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for De Ruijter Feestmuisjes; check the current packaging and the base product you choose too.
If the school doesn’t allow edible treats, aniseed sprinkles aren’t a suitable purchase for that celebration. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre explains that schools can set out what may and may not be handed out in their celebration policy.
First, check what the school allows. Then decide which individual item, if any, you’d like to serve with aniseed sprinkles. Before putting it together, check the ingredients of the whole item.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| School policy and how items are handed out | Check whether edible treats are allowed. Decide which base product and portion you can offer individually. | I want to offer something the school allows and that can be clearly portioned out for each child. For around 42% of consumers, school policy and how items are handed out are the top priorities. |
| Allergens and dietary requirements | Read the current packaging for every component and ask about any relevant allergies or dietary requirements. Albert Heijn lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for De Ruijter Feestmuisjes. | When there are different dietary requirements, I want to know what’s in both the topping and the base product. Allergens and suitability for different diets come first for around 33% of consumers. |
| How you’ll use it and how much you’ll need | Work out how many items you’ll make and how much topping you’ll use on each one. Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter Feestmuisjes in a 330 g pack. | If I’m only making a few cupcakes, I want to match the amount I need to what I’m making. For around 25% of consumers, how a product will be used and pack size matter most. |
