Which pack size is right for you?

Office organisers planning regular treat breaks

If you want to serve bread or crispbread with crushed aniseed sprinkles on several days, you can open a fresh pack from a case for each occasion. Kantinewinkel lists a case of 9 x 270 g packs; this is different from one large bag.

Teams planning a one-off or small snack break

For a one-off treat, a single 270 g pack means you won't immediately have nine packs in stock. Albert Heijn lists 45 portions of 6 g per pack; use this as a guide and consider what else you’ll be serving when deciding how much you need.

Buyers who need to share product information

For a shared office treat, colleagues should be able to check the ingredients and allergen information. Jumbo’s product information lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes; check the packaging of the product you’re actually serving.

What should you consider when choosing?

First, decide whether you’re catering for one treat break or several. Then check that the ingredients and storage requirements suit what you want to offer at the office.

What to consider What to check before buying Who should consider this?
Stock for several occasions Compare a case of 9 x 270 g with the number of planned occasions and the dry storage space available. If I want to offer something for bread or crispbread on several office mornings, I want to be able to open a separate pack each time. For around 25% of consumers, having stock for repeated use is the top priority.
A small amount to start with Consider whether one 270 g pack will be enough; Albert Heijn lists 45 portions of 6 g per pack. For a one-off treat, I don’t want to be left with nine packs straight away. For around 33% of consumers, starting small is the most important consideration.
Ingredients and snack policy Read the latest allergen and nutritional information, including any mention of wheat and cereals containing gluten. When colleagues need to decide for themselves whether the treat is suitable for them, I want to keep the packaging and ingredient information to hand. Around 42% of consumers prioritise this information and their own snack policy.

Common mistakes

  • Mistaking a case for one large sharing bag

    The 9 x 270 g quantity listed by Kantinewinkel consists of nine separate packs. This matters if you’re specifically looking for one pack to share with a group.

    Check the pack description and work out how many packs you want to open for each occasion.

  • Guessing the allergens from the product name

    Jumbo’s product information lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes. The name alone doesn’t tell you this.

    Read the label on the pack you’ve bought, and keep the allergen information available if you serve the sprinkles outside their packaging.

  • Treating crushed aniseed sprinkles as an everyday snack

    Crushed aniseed sprinkles are a sweet topping. The product information reviewed lists 79 g of sugars per 100 g, which is worth bearing in mind if your office considers the nutritional information of the products it offers.

    Check the nutritional values per 100 g and per portion on the latest packaging. You could also offer other options for the snack break.

  • Assuming aniseed sugar strands are the same product

    Jumbo describes De Ruijter Anijs Hagel as sugar strands with an aniseed flavour. It’s a different type of product from crushed aniseed sprinkles, even though both have an aniseed flavour.

    Check the full product name if the texture of crushed aniseed sprinkles is important to you.
