Who is this choice for?

Shoppers who prioritise certification

You want to be able to check the FAIRTRADE mark on the specific product, even if that means choosing a different type of bread topping instead of crushed aniseed sprinkles.

Online shoppers looking for crushed aniseed sprinkles

You specifically want crushed aniseed sprinkles for something like crispbread, bread or a topping. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes as an online product.

Households checking for allergens

You need to know before ordering whether the ingredients are suitable for your household. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list wheat and cereals containing gluten in De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes.

What should you check before ordering?

First decide whether the type of product or a verifiable Fairtrade mark matters most to you. Then check the ingredients of the item you’ve chosen, along with the delivery or collection options for your order.

Crushed aniseed sprinkles

Choose this option: if you specifically want the crushed aniseed product listed by Albert Heijn and Jumbo under the De Ruijter brand.

What to consider: those product listings alone are not proof that the sprinkles are Fairtrade-certified.

Chocolate sprinkles as an alternative

Choose this option: if you’re willing to switch product type to find a bread topping with a verifiable mark. Jumbo lists Fairtrade Original Dark Chocolate Sprinkles in its Fairtrade range.

What to consider: chocolate sprinkles aren’t crushed aniseed sprinkles, so they won’t fully replicate the aniseed flavour or traditional use.

What to check Check before buying Who it matters to
Fairtrade mark Check the mark on the current product image or packaging. If there’s an arrow next to the mark, Fairtrade International advises reading the packaging information about the ingredients and sourcing too. I only want to order once I’ve checked the mark on this specific bread topping, even if that means choosing a different type of product. For around 50% of consumers, checking the mark would be the top priority.
Product type and order Check that the item is actually crushed aniseed sprinkles, and look at the available delivery or collection options before completing your basket. For crispbread or another familiar use, I want crushed aniseed sprinkles, not chocolate sprinkles, and my order needs to arrive at a suitable time. Keeping to this product type would be the top requirement for around 30% of consumers.
Wheat and gluten Read the current ingredients and allergen information for the product you’ve chosen, and check the label on the packaging you receive. If wheat or gluten needs to be avoided in my household, I need to know what’s in the pack before using the product. Around 20% of consumers would make checking these allergens their main concern.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming every product in a Fairtrade range carries the mark

    A supermarket stocking Fairtrade products says nothing about the certification of an individual item. The De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes listings at Albert Heijn and Jumbo don’t show a mark for those sprinkles.

    Check the FAIRTRADE mark and any accompanying information on the specific product or its current packaging.

  • Treating chocolate sprinkles as the same type of product

    Jumbo lists Fairtrade Original Dark Chocolate Sprinkles in its Fairtrade range, but chocolate sprinkles aren’t crushed aniseed sprinkles.

    Before you start looking, decide whether an aniseed product is a must-have or whether another type of sweet bread topping would also suit you.

  • Skipping the label on a topping product

    Albert Heijn and Jumbo list wheat starch and wheat, as well as cereals containing gluten, for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority stresses the importance of clear allergen information on food labels.

    Read the ingredients and allergen information before buying, and check the label on the packaging you receive too.

  • Checking delivery terms only after putting your order together

    Being able to add a product to your basket doesn’t necessarily mean your preferred delivery or collection option is available for your order.

    Check the current minimum order value and available time slots before completing your order.
