Who is this choice relevant to?

If you specifically want crushed aniseed sprinkles

Whether you’re serving them on crisp rusks, using them as a bread topping or sprinkling them over food, you’ll want to stock up on the crushed variety rather than accidentally switching to regular aniseed sprinkles. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes in 270 g packs.

If you’re buying for a large gathering

For a new baby celebration, baby shower or party treat, the stated serving size can help you work out how many packs to buy. De Ruijter lists 45 servings of 6 g per 270 g pack of crushed aniseed sprinkles; how much you actually use will depend on how you serve them.

If you need to consider allergens

If someone needs to avoid wheat or gluten, checking the ingredients comes before choosing a size or product type. The crushed and regular De Ruijter varieties described by Albert Heijn and Jumbo list wheat and cereals containing gluten.

First, decide whether you need crushed aniseed sprinkles. Then work out how many packs you’ll need and check the allergen information before buying.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a larger bag contains crushed aniseed sprinkles

    De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes 270 g is described as crushed, sugar-coated aniseed seeds. The 330 g bags of regular aniseed sprinkles we looked at don’t have the same product description.

    Choose several 270 g packs if crushed sprinkles are a must. Switch to 330 g only if regular aniseed sprinkles are also suitable for what you’re serving.

  • Looking only at the largest pack

    A 330 g bag contains more than a 270 g pack, but it isn’t a larger pack of the same crushed variety. If you’re serving lots of portions, the number of packs you need also matters.

    Plan using the stated 45 servings of 6 g per pack of crushed aniseed sprinkles, and adjust the quantity if you use more per serving.

  • Checking allergens only after buying

    Albert Heijn and Jumbo’s product information lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for the crushed and regular De Ruijter sprinkles we looked at. The packaging you receive is still important for your final check.

    Read the allergen information before buying and check the label on each pack again before serving.

  • Treating a bundle title as complete product information

    In a bol bundle listing labelled ‘9 × 270 g’, the stated weight details contradict each other. The allergen fields also need checking more closely.

    For a bundle, check that the number of packs, the contents of each pack and the total net weight all match. Also read the ingredients and allergen information before ordering.
