Choose the 9-pack only if you can share the individual packs or will use them after New Year’s Eve too. For a small gathering or occasional use, a single 270 g pack is a more practical choice: Albert Heijn lists 45 servings of 6 g per pack. For both sizes, check the current ingredients and allergen information on the packaging.
If you’d like to share crushed aniseed sprinkles between several households or use them more than once, work out in advance how many individual packs you’ll need. bol lists a 9-pack containing nine 270 g packs.
A single pack may be enough if you only occasionally sprinkle them over bread, crispbread or yoghurt. Albert Heijn lists 45 servings of 6 g in a 270 g pack; how many occasions you get out of it depends on how much you use.
Jumbo’s product information lists wheat starch and identifies wheat and cereals containing gluten as allergens. Check the label on the pack you buy, especially if you’re sharing the product with others.
Choose this if: you’re buying for a small gathering or only use sprinkles occasionally.
The trade-off: you’ll have less stock to carry home in one go, but fewer individual packs to share out.
Choose this if: you already know how you’ll divide the packs between households or save them for later.
The trade-off: the nine individual packs listed by bol need more storage space and a plan for using them after the celebrations.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Most relevant for |
|---|---|---|
| Stock and sharing | Check the number of individual packs and the contents of each one. bol lists a 9-pack of 9 × 270 g. | If I’m buying for several households or occasions, I want to be able to share unopened packs. Around 40% of consumers prioritise planning their stock in this way. |
| Small portions | Compare the pack size with how much you expect to use; Albert Heijn lists 45 servings of 6 g per single pack. | For the occasional lunch or breakfast, I don’t want to stock up straight away. Around 30% of consumers prioritise having the right amount for these occasions. |
| Ingredients and nutritional information | Read the current allergen statement and compare the sugar content per serving. Jumbo lists 4,7 g of sugars per 6 g serving. | When I share sprinkles with others, I want to know which ingredients and allergens are listed on the packaging. For around 30% of consumers, checking this comes first. |
The multipack listed by bol contains nine 270 g packs, while Albert Heijn lists 45 servings of 6 g in a single pack. Without a plan for the rest, you could be left with plenty of unopened packs.
Work out how much you’ll use on the night and who will take the remaining packs. If that’s not clear, consider buying a single pack instead.
For a multipack, the number of packs, the amount in each pack and the nutritional information are separate details. A listing for nine packs doesn’t, by itself, tell you anything about the nutritional value per serving.
For nutritional information and use-by dates, check the current product details and the labels on the packs you receive.
