For coffee time, a clean, dry glass jar intended for food contact and with a secure lid is a practical choice for a small portion of crushed aniseed sprinkles. Choose a size based on how much you want to put on the table and the space you have; store the rest in a dry, sealed container. Before serving, check the current ingredients, allergen information and storage instructions on the packaging.
A glass jar keeps crushed aniseed sprinkles within easy reach without having to put out the whole pack. Choose a jar intended for food contact and seal it securely after use; using it for serving doesn’t replace dry storage.
For this purpose, a secure lid matters more than the jar’s appearance. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre points out that sugar is sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity.
Crushed aniseed sprinkles, whole aniseed sprinkles and aniseed sugar strands are different product types. If you have a specific dietary requirement or allergy, check the current label: Albert Heijn warns that online ingredient, nutritional and allergy information can change.
First decide how much crushed aniseed sprinkles you want to put on the table at coffee time. Then choose a suitable jar and decide how you’ll store the remaining supply in a sealed container.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who should consider this? |
|---|---|---|
| Portion for the table | Check that the jar is intended for food contact and that its capacity suits the portion you want to serve. | If I only want to put out a little crushed aniseed sprinkles for coffee time, I’d rather have a manageable jar than the whole supply on the table. For around 40% of consumers, presentation on the table matters most. |
| Dry storage | Look for a secure lid and follow the storage instructions on the packaging. | If I use the pack more than once, I want to put the rest away in a dry, sealed container between coffee breaks. Dry storage is the main priority for around 30% of consumers. |
| Product type and label | Compare crushed aniseed sprinkles with other product types; check the ingredients, allergens and storage advice on the current pack. | If you’re looking for fine sprinkles or need to take an allergy into account, you’ll want to know exactly what’s being served and what the packaging says. For around 30% of consumers, this check comes first. |
Crushed aniseed sprinkles come into direct contact with the jar. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority sets out requirements for articles intended to come into contact with food.
Choose a jar explicitly intended for food contact or food storage, and use it clean and dry.
A jar on the table isn’t automatically suitable for storing the rest. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre notes that sugar is sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity.
Put out a portion for the table and store the rest in a dry, securely sealed container, following the storage instructions on the packaging.
Whole aniseed sprinkles have a different texture and appearance from the crushed variety, while aniseed sugar strands are a separate product. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list these product types separately.

According to Albert Heijn, ingredient, nutritional and allergy information can change. This is especially important when serving something to guests with an allergy or specific dietary requirement.
