Common mistakes
-
Confusing the serving sizes on the label with a multipack
Albert Heijn and Jumbo list the product in 270 g packs. The 45 servings of 6 g refer to quantities of topping; they don’t mean that the pack contains several smaller packs.
Estimate the total weight of sprinkles you’ll need for all the occasions you’re serving them, then divide it by 270 g. Round up to the number of packs you need, and check the pack size on offer before buying.
-
Only adding the sprinkles to your shopping list
Rusks, bread and yoghurt aren’t included with the crushed aniseed sprinkles. Each accompaniment also has its own ingredients, which may be important to the people attending.
Remember to plan for the accompaniment and serving utensils, and include a separate alternative if needed. Check the labels of all the packaged products you intend to serve.
-
Relying on outdated ingredient information
Product listings mention wheat and cereals containing gluten. For your meeting, the label on the pack you’re actually serving is the one to rely on.
Read the label before serving and keep the packaging handy in case anyone asks about the ingredients.
