Shoppers looking for a baking gift

An ingredient for decorating is different from a ready-made box of chocolates. Choose according to what the recipient wants: something to finish with aniseed sprinkles, or chocolate as a gift.

Bakers for whom allergens are a priority

If you need to avoid wheat or gluten, it’s important to check the ingredients of your chosen decoration. Jumbo’s product information for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes lists wheat and cereals containing gluten. Read the packaging label before use.

Common buying mistakes

  • Mistaking crushed aniseed sprinkles for a box of chocolates

    De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes are described as crushed, sugar-coated aniseed seeds. They’re a topping to use, not a box of chocolates to give as a gift straight away.

    Before you buy, decide whether you’re looking for aniseed decoration, chocolate decoration or a ready-made box of chocolates.

  • Overlooking wheat and gluten

    Jumbo lists wheat starch in the ingredients for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes and identifies wheat and cereals containing gluten as allergens.

    If you have a relevant dietary restriction, check the label on the specific pack before using the sprinkles.

  • Relying on online product information alone

    Ingredient and allergen information can change, so an online description isn’t enough if the product’s composition is important to your choice.

    Check the packaging when you buy, and follow the storage and best-before information shown on it.
