Which pack size is right for you?

Organisers of breakfasts for larger groups

For a big family breakfast, a club gathering or informal catering, it can be convenient to place one order for a sufficient supply. FoodWorld-XL lists a box of nine 270 g packs, totalling 2.43 kg. Before ordering, ask whether delivery will fit your planned breakfast date.

Families looking for a pack to enjoy at home

If you want to sprinkle crushed aniseed sprinkles on bread or crispbread, you could start with an individual 270 g pack. Albert Heijn and Jumbo also list this pack for use on foods such as yoghurt and cupcakes.

Shoppers who read labels carefully

If you’re serving breakfast to guests with dietary requirements, the ingredients and allergens matter. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list wheat and cereals containing gluten; their nutritional information states 79 g of sugars per 100 g. Check the pack you receive when you buy it and before serving.

What should you consider when choosing?

Work out how much crushed aniseed sprinkle you want for breakfast, then choose between individual packs and a box of nine. The 6 g serving size listed by Albert Heijn can help with planning, although the amount guests actually sprinkle may vary.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Quantity and delivery Compare one 270 g pack with nine 270 g packs, and confirm when a box can be delivered. For a big family breakfast, I want enough in stock without having to arrange lots of individual purchases; having the right quantity is the top priority for around 42% of consumers.
Flavour and use Check the ingredients list to see whether you’re looking for crushed aniseed sprinkles made with aniseed, or the other product, aniseed sprinkles made with aniseed oil. If you also want to use the sprinkles on yoghurt or cakes, choose the aniseed flavour and product that suit how you’ll use them; around 33% of consumers give this choice top priority.
Ingredients and labelling Read the current allergen information, nutritional details, best-before date and storage instructions on the pack. If I’m buying for guests with dietary requirements or keeping an eye on sugar, I want to know what I’m serving; checking the label comes first for around 25% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Relying only on an online ingredients list

    Albert Heijn and Jumbo list wheat and cereals containing gluten for their 270 g packs. For a 270 g pack, Foodstore Andaluz also lists flavouring containing milk. Product information can change, so an online list alone isn’t enough to make a decision for guests with allergies.

    Before serving the sprinkles, check the ingredients and allergen information on the pack you actually receive.

  • Not factoring in how much people will sprinkle

    For its 270 g pack, Albert Heijn lists a 6 g serving size and 79 g of sugars per 100 g. A serving size doesn’t tell you how much each guest will use, especially if the sprinkles are also going on cakes.

    Use the serving size as a starting point for how much to buy, then adjust your plans to suit what you’ll be serving at breakfast.

  • Ordering a bulk box without agreeing a delivery date

    FoodWorld-XL asks buyers to get in touch for an estimate of the delivery time for a box of nine packs. This doesn’t guarantee that the order will arrive before a particular weekend.

    Confirm the delivery date before relying on the box for a planned breakfast.
