Who are these aniseed sprinkles for?

If you want to serve small portions

You want to offer guests a little sweet topping without mistaking the serving size on the label for an individual mini pack. Spoon it out yourself to control how much you put out.

If presentation matters to you

You use aniseed sprinkles as a topping for things like crispbreads, yoghurt or small bakes, and choose a colour or style that suits the occasion.

If you check the label for your guests

Before sharing, you want to know which ingredients and allergens are listed for the variety you’ve bought, as well as what the pack says about its shelf life and storage.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether portion size, presentation or label information matters most for your coffee table. Then choose the variety and how you’ll serve it.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Small portions Compare the pack size with the serving size on the label. Spoon out the sprinkles yourself if you want to offer each guest a small amount. When I set out a little topping for each guest, I want to decide how much goes in each bowl. For around 45% of consumers, controlling portions is the main priority.
Presentation Choose between coloured aniseed sprinkles and a crushed variety based on what you plan to serve; colour doesn’t indicate whether a product is suitable for a particular diet. For crispbreads or small bakes, I want a colour and style that suit the coffee table. Around 33% of consumers prioritise presentation.
Label information Read the ingredients, allergens and nutritional information on the pack for the exact variety you’ve bought. When I share aniseed sprinkles with friends, I want to check in advance what’s in them and whether any guests need to take something into account. For around 22% of consumers, checking the label is the top priority.

Common serving mistakes

  • Mistaking a serving size on the label for a mini pack

    Albert Heijn lists a 6 g serving for De Ruijter crushed aniseed sprinkles in a 270 g pack, and a 15 g serving for party aniseed sprinkles in a 330 g pack. The serving size doesn’t refer to a separate pack.

    Use small bowls or measure out the portions in advance if you want to serve smaller amounts.

  • Choosing by colour alone

    The De Ruijter varieties checked list wheat and cereals containing gluten. Choosing a suitable colour doesn’t automatically make a variety suitable for every guest.

    If necessary, ask guests in advance about any relevant allergies and read the current label for the variety you’re serving.

  • Assuming online product information never changes

    Albert Heijn states that ingredient and allergen information can change. An older product description may therefore differ from the pack you have in front of you.

    Before serving, check the ingredients, allergens, best-before date and storage instructions on that pack.

  • Skipping the nutritional information when serving

    Albert Heijn lists 79 g of sugars per 100 g for the party and crushed aniseed sprinkles discussed here. This figure doesn’t tell you how much a guest will have.

    Serve them as a topping and let guests decide how much to use.

Can I serve these aniseed sprinkles to someone who needs to avoid wheat or gluten?

Don’t assume that the De Ruijter varieties discussed here are suitable: product information from Albert Heijn and Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten. Ask the guest what they need to avoid, and check the label on the pack you’ve bought before serving anything.

Is online ingredient information enough to help me choose for guests?

Use online product information to compare varieties, but also read the pack you’ve bought before serving. Albert Heijn states that ingredient and allergen information can change.
