Which option is right for you?

If you want to make up small portions yourself

If you can measure out sprinkles yourself during a coffee break, the standard 270 g pack of De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes is still an option. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list this pack size.

If you need pre-measured portions

For quick serving, individual portions may matter more than aniseed flavour. Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter hagelslag puur in individual portions, but these chocolate sprinkles are a different product from crushed aniseed sprinkles.

If you need to check the label carefully

If ingredients or allergens affect your choice, read the label on the pack you buy. Albert Heijn notes that online product information can change.

What should you look for when choosing?

Decide whether the aniseed flavour of crushed aniseed sprinkles or the convenience of individual portions matters more for your coffee break. Then check the pack and its label.

Crushed aniseed sprinkles from a standard pack

A good fit if: you specifically want crushed aniseed sprinkles and can measure out a small amount yourself.

The trade-off: the 270 g pack listed by Albert Heijn and Jumbo does not contain pre-measured portions.

Another type of sprinkle in portion packs

A good fit if: individual portions matter more to you than the specific aniseed flavour.

The trade-off: the portion pack listed by Albert Heijn contains De Ruijter hagelslag puur, not crushed aniseed sprinkles.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Portions Check the net weight and whether the pack contains individual portions. If I want to serve a set amount quickly during a short break, I don’t want to have to measure it out each time. Around 38% of consumers prioritise this portion control.
Aniseed flavour and product type Check that the description says crushed aniseed sprinkles, rather than another type of sprinkle. For my bread, crispbread or yoghurt, I want crushed aniseed sprinkles, not chocolate sprinkles. Around 31% of consumers prioritise this specific product choice.
Label Check the ingredients, allergens and nutritional information on the current pack. If ingredients or allergens determine what I can choose, the label matters more than convenient packaging. For around 31% of consumers, this check is the most important factor.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a small serving means a small pack

    Albert Heijn and Jumbo list De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes in a 270 g pack. Using a small amount doesn’t mean the pack contains individual portions.

    Check the net weight and make sure the pack really does contain individual sachets or portions.

  • Confusing portion-packed chocolate sprinkles with crushed aniseed sprinkles

    Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter hagelslag puur as 120 portions of 20 g. These are individual portions, but they contain chocolate sprinkles rather than crushed aniseed sprinkles.

    Choose this alternative only if a different flavour and product type suit your coffee break.

  • Relying on one online ingredients list when you have an allergy

    Online product information can change. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority requires allergens to be clearly listed on the label of prepacked foods.

    Before eating the product, check the ingredients, highlighted allergens and any warnings on the pack you actually receive. If in doubt, contact the manufacturer or seller.

Frequently asked questions

Are crushed aniseed sprinkles available in a confirmed mini pack?
