Who are these options for?

Students with limited cupboard space

In a room or shared kitchen, the amount of space a pack takes up matters. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes in a 270 g pack; consider whether that amount suits how much you use.

Shoppers looking specifically for crushed aniseed

For bread, crispbread, yoghurt or decoration, you may be looking specifically for the crushed, sugar-coated aniseed that Jumbo describes as Gestampte Muisjes. Regular aniseed sprinkles are a different type of product.

Shoppers checking ingredients

Jumbo lists wheat starch in De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes. If ingredients or allergens are important to you, check the label on the pack you buy.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, decide whether you need the crushed version. Then check that the pack size suits your space and how much you use, and read the ingredients on the label.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters to
Portions and packaging Check the net weight and best-before date. Consider whether you want to measure out small amounts yourself. In a shared kitchen, I want to be able to store the pack and avoid sprinkling on more than I need. For around 50% of consumers, portion size and storage space are the most important factors.
Product type Compare the full product name: crushed aniseed sprinkles, regular aniseed sprinkles and aniseed vermicelli are different products. If I want crushed aniseed on crispbread or yoghurt, whole sprinkles won't suit me as well. That specific product type is the deciding factor for around 30% of consumers.
Ingredients and nutritional information Read the ingredients, allergen information and nutrition information on the current packaging. When buying for someone with a food allergy, I want to be able to check the label. For around 20% of consumers, ingredients, allergens or nutritional information are the main concern.

Common mistakes

  • Reading ‘crushed’ as ‘mini’

    Crushed describes the product type, not the portion size. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes in a 270 g pack.

    Check the net weight if you're looking for a smaller size. If 270 g suits how much you use, you can put a small amount in a clean, dry dispenser.

  • Assuming regular aniseed sprinkles are the same product

    De Ruijter Muisjes Blauw & Wit, 330 g, is not the same version as De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes, 270 g. The product type and pack size are different.

    Compare the full name, weight and ingredients before choosing one product over the other.

  • Relying only on an online product description

    For De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes, Jumbo lists wheat starch and 79 g of sugars per 100 g. If you're choosing based on allergens or nutritional information, check the label on the pack you buy.

    Before use, read the ingredients list, allergen information and nutrition information on that pack.
