Parents decorating treats
Crushed aniseed sprinkles can be used as a topping on bread, crispbread, yoghurt or cupcakes. If you want to add small amounts quickly, check whether sprinkling from the pack is practical enough for you.
Who is this for?
Families keeping an eye on wheat and gluten
Albert Heijn and Jumbo’s product listings mention wheat and cereals containing gluten. Check the ingredients and allergen information on the pack you actually buy.
Parents looking to portion a sweet topping
If you’re using aniseed sprinkles for a holiday treat, you can decide in advance how much topping to add. Albert Heijn lists 79 g of sugars per 100 g for this product, with a serving size of 6 g. This serving size is not personal dietary advice.
What should you look for when choosing?
First, check that the packaging suits the way you want to serve the product. Then read the label and decide what role the aniseed sprinkles will play in your snack.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Portioning without making a mess | Check the packaging: a weight of 270 g tells you nothing about whether it’s a squeeze bottle. Consider whether sprinkling it yourself suits the way you’ll use it. | I want to decorate bread or cupcakes with small amounts and without making a mess. For around 30% of consumers, ease of portioning comes first. |
| Wheat and gluten | Read the current ingredients list and allergen information on the pack. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list wheat in De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes. | If wheat or gluten needs to be avoided, I want to check the packaging before serving. Around 40% of consumers prioritise this check. |
| How much sweet topping to use | Check the nutritional information per 100 g and per serving. Albert Heijn lists 79 g of sugars per 100 g and a serving size of 6 g. | For a holiday treat, I want to use a small amount of aniseed sprinkles as decoration, not as the main part of the snack. Around 30% of consumers prioritise this consideration. |
Common mistakes
-
Assuming a 270 g pack is a squeeze bottle
Albert Heijn and Jumbo list the weight of De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes, but do not describe this product as a squeeze bottle. Going by the weight alone could mean you end up with packaging that doesn’t suit the way you want to serve it.
Check whether the product page or packaging explicitly mentions a squeeze bottle. Choose the dry product if you’re happy to sprinkle or portion it yourself.
Decanting it into a separate food-safe dispenser also means extra washing up.
-
Relying on the product name alone if you avoid wheat or gluten
Albert Heijn and Jumbo’s listings mention wheat starch and flag wheat and cereals containing gluten. A product page you looked at previously is no substitute for checking the label on the pack you buy.
Read the ingredients list and allergen information on the pack before buying and serving.
-
Treating the topping as a complete snack
Albert Heijn lists 79 g of sugars per 100 g for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes. The amount you use as decoration is different from the main part of a snack.
Decide in advance how much topping you want to use, and check the nutritional information on the pack.
