Choose aniseed sprinkles if you want to measure out a small amount of topping for a cup of tea. The packaging for De Ruijter's crushed aniseed sprinkles lists a serving as 6 g. If you’re mainly looking for a splash of colour, pink-and-white, blue-and-white or celebration sprinkles are other options. The varieties listed by Albert Heijn and Jumbo come in 270 g or 330 g boxes, not individually wrapped bars.
If you fancy one rusk or a small topping to go with your tea, you can measure out the amount yourself. Albert Heijn lists a 6 g serving for De Ruijter's crushed aniseed sprinkles; the box contains 270 g and is not a single-serving pack.
For a rusk or a small cake with a colour theme, you can choose from pink-and-white, blue-and-white or celebration sprinkles. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list these varieties in 330 g boxes, so you’ll have some left after one cup of tea.

First decide whether you want to measure out some sprinkles or are choosing them mainly for their colour. Then compare the information on the label: even for one small tea break, you’re buying a box of sprinkles, not an individual bar.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Measuring out your own portion | Check the listed serving size and the box contents.

| Colour and presentation | Choose the colour variety that suits the occasion. Check the ingredients list too if colourings are important to you. | For a colour-themed tea break, the look of the topping matters more than having a small pack. Around 30% of consumers prioritise presentation. |

For around 30% of consumers, checking nutritional and allergen information is their main concern. |
The varieties listed by Albert Heijn and Jumbo are sprinkles sold in 270 g or 330 g boxes. That’s a different purchase from a single, individually wrapped snack to have with your tea.
Choose sprinkles if you want to add them as a topping and can store the rest somewhere dry. If having an individual pack for one eating occasion is essential, look for an individually wrapped snack instead.
The pink-and-white and celebration sprinkles reviewed list different colourings; both list wheat and gluten. So even if you’re choosing by colour, the ingredients still matter.
Read the ingredients list and allergen information for the variety you’re actually buying. Compare nutritional values on the same basis, preferably per 100 g.
Albert Heijn lists a 6 g serving for its crushed aniseed sprinkles, while Jumbo shows values per 15 g for the pink-and-white and celebration sprinkles reviewed. So a figure per serving doesn’t refer to the same amount of product.
First compare the nutritional information per 100 g, then decide how much you want to use on your rusk or other topping.
