Choose crushed aniseed sprinkles if you want a finer product and would like to measure out a small amount yourself: Albert Heijn lists a 6 g serving on the label for the 270 g pack. For a baby celebration, pink and white or blue and white sprinkles may better suit your colour scheme; celebration sprinkles are another option if you don’t want to stick to those colours. A serving size on the label doesn’t mean the sprinkles are individually wrapped, and if you have an allergy, always base your choice on the current label.
Want to decide for yourself how many sprinkles to use for a small occasion? Crushed aniseed sprinkles have a finer texture and can be measured out as needed. Albert Heijn lists a 6 g serving on the label for the 270 g box; this isn’t a pack of individually portioned servings.
If you want the colour to suit the occasion, you can choose between pink and white or blue and white sprinkles. Albert Heijn also mentions sprinkles for baby showers; the colour you serve on rusks or cakes is up to you.
If you have a wheat allergy or need to avoid gluten, the ingredients list matters more than the colour or packaging. The De Ruijter varieties discussed here list wheat or cereals containing gluten. Check the label on the product you buy before serving it.
First, decide whether by ‘mini’ you mean a small amount to measure out yourself or individually wrapped portions. Then choose the colour or occasion you have in mind, and check the nutritional information and ingredients on the packaging.

A colour that suits the occasion tells you nothing about the ingredients. The crushed, blue and white, and celebration varieties discussed here list wheat or cereals containing gluten.
