Choose individual 270 g packs if you want to work out the quantity you need gradually. A box of 9 × 270 g is a good fit for a group lunch planned in advance when you need 2.43 kg of the same variety, provided you check the delivery time and storage requirements beforehand. Crushed aniseed sprinkles are a topping; for lunch on the go, you’ll also need a suitable base and packaging for transport.
Who is this for?
Event organisers and canteen managers
If you’re planning lunch or a treat for a group in advance, ordering one product variety in a single order can be convenient. Kantinewinkel lists a box of 9 × 270 g; check the delivery time before planning when it will be served.
Larger families
If you use crushed aniseed sprinkles regularly, individual packs let you top up your supplies as needed. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list a 270 g pack; if you’re stocking up, check the best-before date on each pack.
Those serving unpackaged lunches
If you’re serving lunch with crushed aniseed sprinkles to others, you’ll need to take account of the wheat and gluten-containing cereals listed. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority sets requirements for allergen information on unpackaged foods.
What should you look for when choosing?
For lunch on the go, first work out how much crushed aniseed sprinkles you’ll need and when. Then consider whether you want to top up your supplies as needed or serve lunch to others.

Common mistakes
-
Ordering a box without working out how much you need
A box of 9 × 270 g gives you 2.43 kg of the same variety. For a smaller group lunch, or one where the numbers are still uncertain, individual packs may be a better match for what you’ll actually use.
Work out how much you need, and if you’re ordering for an event, check the delivery time and best-before date too.
-
Treating a topping as a complete packed lunch
Crushed aniseed sprinkles are intended as a topping and aren’t a packed lunch on their own.
Plan a suitable base, such as bread or crispbread, and make sure the assembled lunch is securely packed for transport.
-
Relying on the outer packaging alone when serving unpackaged food
The product information lists wheat and gluten-containing cereals. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, information about the allergens present must be available to consumers when you serve them unpackaged food.
Check the packaging you receive and make sure consumers can get the allergen information before buying. For gluten-containing cereals, you must also name the specific cereal.

Frequently asked questions
When should I choose individual packs rather than a box?
Individual packs are a good choice if you want to work out the quantity gradually or don’t need 2.43 kg. For a group serving planned in advance, a box of 9 × 270 g can be convenient, provided the delivery time fits your schedule.
Which allergens should I check in crushed aniseed sprinkles?
Albert Heijn and Jumbo’s product information for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes lists wheat and gluten-containing cereals. Check the packaging on the packs you actually receive before passing the information on to others.
Do I need to provide allergen information if I serve lunch unpackaged?
Yes. If you’re serving unpackaged food to consumers, information about the allergens present must be available before they buy. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority states that you must also name the specific cereal for gluten-containing cereals; providing the information verbally is only an option in certain circumstances.
How should I store the packs until the event?
Store De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes in a dry place, as recommended for this product by Albert Heijn and Jumbo. If the group lunch is some time away, check the best-before date on each pack.
