Who are these pack sizes for?

Organising a large get-together

For a new baby celebration, family breakfast or another shared occasion, you’ll want to make sure you have enough crushed aniseed sprinkles in the cupboard. A case of nine 270 g packs gives you more stock than one individual pack, but you’ll need to estimate how much you’re likely to use.

A large household with varying needs

If you use crushed aniseed sprinkles on different occasions, buying individual 270 g packs lets you adjust the quantity each time. This is particularly useful if you’re not yet sure whether nine packs will suit your plans.

Checking labels before buying

If you’re buying for someone who needs to avoid certain ingredients, check the information on the current packaging before buying and serving. Foodello lists wheat starch for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes; online ingredient information can change.

What should you consider when choosing?

For a large household or a shared meal, first decide whether having plenty in stock, choosing a flexible quantity or checking the label is your main priority. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list an individual 270 g pack of De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes, while Kantinewinkel lists a case containing nine of these packs.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters to
Having enough in stock Check the number of individual packs and match the total quantity to how much you’ll use. The case from Kantinewinkel contains 9 × 270 g, or 2,430 g in total. If I’m serving lots of people at once, I don’t want to have to go and buy more packs halfway through. Around 46% of consumers put having enough in stock first.
Flexible quantities Work out how many 270 g packs you think you’ll need; don’t assume a set number of portions per guest. If I’m not sure how much will be used, I don’t want to buy nine packs straight away. Around 27% of consumers prioritise being able to adjust the quantity.
Ingredients and allergens Read the current label on each pack before sharing, especially if anyone needs to avoid wheat or cereals containing gluten. If I’m buying for someone with a food allergy or dietary restriction, I want to know first whether the product is suitable for them. Checking the label is the main concern for around 27% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a case is one large bag

    The pack listed by Kantinewinkel contains nine individual 270 g packs, not one large resealable bag. This matters if you want to split up or store the packs.

    Before ordering, check both the number of packs and the total weight in the product description.

  • Assuming a set amount per guest

    How much you use depends on what you’re serving. For example, the amount used in a baking recipe won’t tell you how much crushed aniseed sprinkles each guest will put on a rusk.

    Choose the number of packs to suit how you plan to serve them. If you’re unsure how many people will be eating or how much they’ll use, individual 270 g packs give you more flexibility.

  • Relying on an old online ingredients list

    Foodello lists wheat starch in De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes. Albert Heijn warns that ingredient and allergen information on product pages can change, which is important if you’re buying for other people.

    Read the label on the packs you’re actually serving. If an ingredient could be a problem for someone and you’re still unsure, ask for confirmation before offering them the product.

A relevant brand to consider
