If you want to serve only organically certified crushed aniseed sprinkles, check the organic label and EU organic logo on the packaging of the specific product; a natural appearance or aniseed flavour tells you nothing about its certification. Jumbo describes De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes 270 g as a sweet aniseed topping for bread and rusks, among other things, but don’t assume it is organically certified without checking the label. Check the ingredients, allergens and nutritional information for your guests, too.
If organic certification is a must for your coffee gathering, check the label on the packaging. Skal Biocontrole explains that organic labels are protected; the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) identifies the familiar green leaf as the EU organic logo.
