Choose 330 g of whole aniseed sprinkles if you want to use the same topping for several children or snack occasions. Choose 270 g of crushed aniseed sprinkles if a finer topping matters more to you than having more in the pack. Jumbo’s festive and crushed varieties both contain 79 g of sugars per 100 g and wheat, so decide how much you want to serve and check the packaging of the variety you choose.
If several children have aniseed sprinkles on different days, the amount in each pack matters most. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list 330 g packs of whole aniseed sprinkles and 270 g packs of crushed aniseed sprinkles.
A small amount of aniseed sprinkles can add a touch of sweetness to bread, crispbread or yoghurt. The Dutch Nutrition Centre recommends that children aged 4 to 12 mainly have snacks from the Dutch Wheel of Five and eat at set times.
If you’re preparing a treat for several children, it’s important to check the packaging of the variety you choose. According to Jumbo’s product information, De Ruijter Feest Muisjes and Gestampte Muisjes contain wheat.

|---|---|---|

| Amount per serving | Check the sugars per 100 g and, if listed, the nutritional information per serving.

A measured amount is the most important consideration for around 33% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and storage | Read the allergen information for the specific variety and follow the storage instructions on the packaging. | When I’m buying for a group, I need to know whether the aniseed sprinkles I’ve chosen are suitable for everyone who’ll be eating them. This check takes priority for around 25% of consumers. |
