If you only want to put a portion of crushed aniseed sprinkles on the table for Mother’s Day breakfast, choose a small glass serving jar. If you want to decant the whole pack, check first that it will fit in a sealable storage jar. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes in a 270 g pack and recommend storing it in a dry place, but the weight doesn’t tell you what capacity you’ll need in millilitres. Use a jar intended for food contact, and keep the original packaging so you can refer to the ingredients, allergens and best-before date.
You want to serve crushed aniseed sprinkles with Mother’s Day breakfast or on cupcakes, while keeping the rest in its original packaging. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list bread, crispbreads, yoghurt and cupcakes among the ways to use De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes.

First decide whether the jar is just for serving at the table or needs to hold the whole pack. Then check that it’s suitable for food contact and consider how you’ll keep the product information.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Serving a portion | Check that you can easily reach the contents and that the jar is intended for food contact. | I only want to put a portion out for breakfast and keep the rest separate. For around 45% of consumers, how it looks on the table comes first. |
| Whole pack | Test whether the contents of the 270 g pack will fit; choose a sealable jar and store it somewhere dry. | If I decant everything, I don’t want to be left with a half-full pack. This is the main consideration for around 33% of consumers. |
| Label kept with the jar | Keep the packaging or note the product name, best-before date and allergens alongside the jar. | When I’m serving several guests, I want to know exactly what’s in the jar and be able to check the current label. Around 22% of consumers prioritise this. |
