For genuine aniseed sprinkles with as little to store as possible, the 270 g box of De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes is smaller than the 330 g boxes of whole aniseed sprinkles discussed here, but it does not contain individual portions. De Ruijter Kleintjes does offer separate sachets, but according to Albert Heijn these contain chocolate sprinkles and flakes rather than aniseed sprinkles. If you need to avoid wheat or gluten, always check the label on the pack you buy.
If you want aniseed sprinkles for bread, rusks or a small treat, the box size determines how much you need to store. Jumbo and PLUS list a 270 g box of crushed aniseed sprinkles; the boxes of whole aniseed sprinkles discussed here contain 330 g.
If you want to sprinkle a set amount each time, you can measure it out yourself from a standard box. The nutritional information for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes uses 6 g as a serving size; this does not mean the contents are individually wrapped. Kleintjes sachets contain different types of sprinkles.
Check the ingredients and allergen information before choosing a variety. The product information from Jumbo, Joybuy and PLUS lists wheat or cereals containing gluten in the crushed, pink-and-white, blue-and-white and celebratory aniseed sprinkles discussed here.
First, decide whether you specifically want aniseed sprinkles: a smaller pack and individual portion sachets do not meet the same need. Then compare the pack sizes and, if you have dietary restrictions, read the label on the variety you choose.

According to Albert Heijn, De Ruijter Kleintjes contains eight individual portions, but they include chocolate sprinkles and flakes rather than aniseed sprinkles. So separate sachets do not necessarily contain the type of sprinkles you want.
Choose Kleintjes only if separate sachets matter more to you than aniseed sprinkles. If you want aniseed sprinkles, compare the standard boxes and measure out a portion yourself if you like.
