First, decide how many serving stations you want to stock and whether guests will sprinkle the topping themselves or be given portions prepared in advance. Then check that the ingredients are suitable for the guests you’re catering for.

Point to considerWhat to check when buyingWho it matters to
Dividing up the quantity Use the 270 g pack size and the 6 g serving listed by Albert Heijn as a guide; choose the number of packs to suit your dishes and serving stations. If I want to serve the topping in several places, I need enough to put out without leaving an open pack at every station. For around 30% of consumers, dividing up the quantity comes first.
How to serve it Choose between a dry spoon or shaker for self-service, and your own tightly sealed containers for portions prepared in advance. When guests are finishing their own bread or dessert, I want the topping to be easy to serve; for takeaway portions, I need to divide it up in advance. Around 40% of consumers give this serving method top priority.
Ingredients and allergens Check the ingredients, allergens and any warnings on every pack you buy. Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for the 270 g pack. If guests want to know what’s in the topping, I need to be able to show them the information on the pack being served. For around 30% of consumers, this check matters most.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a single pack is a multipack of small portions

    Albert Heijn and Jumbo’s product pages show a single 270 g pack, not individually wrapped portions. So, for a buffet or lunchbox-style serving, you’ll need to organise the portions yourself.

    Work out how many packs you need based on your guests and dishes. Try out in advance how much topping you want to offer per portion.

    Preparing portions yourself takes time, small containers and serving equipment.

  • Relying only on allergen information you read earlier

    Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes. When sharing information with guests, the label on the pack you’re actually using is what matters.

    Check every pack before the buffet and make sure guests can see the relevant ingredient and allergen information.

  • Leaving an open pack at a damp buffet station

    The product information says that crushed aniseed sprinkles should be stored in a dry place. Bear this in mind if you’re dividing a pack between several serving stations.

    Use dry serving containers, top them up as needed and reseal any unused stock.
