Hand-luggage travellers buying in advance

You want to take a dry, sweet topping with you and need to check the product’s form and the rules at Schiphol security.

Shoppers looking for a topping to take on the go

You want to use crushed aniseed sprinkles on bread, crispbread or yoghurt, and work out before you travel whether you’ll also have a suitable base to put them on.

Shoppers checking allergens

You read the ingredients and allergen information before buying. Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for the 270 g pack of De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes.

What should you look for when buying?

First, consider whether you want to take a dry sprinkle topping with you and what you’ll use it on. Then check the label and the rules that apply to your journey.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Product form and hand luggage Check that you’re buying a dry sprinkle topping rather than a paste. Schiphol classifies spreadable foods under its liquids rules. If I’m only taking hand luggage, I want to know which rules apply to my food at security. This is the main concern for around 42% of consumers.
How you’ll use it after buying Check the pack size and think about whether you’ll have bread, crispbread, yoghurt or another suitable base. I want to be able to use the pack as a topping while travelling or after I arrive, rather than as a snack on its own. This is the main consideration for around 33% of consumers.
Ingredients and nutritional information Check the allergens on the pack and, if it matters to your choice, compare the sugar content per 100 g and per serving. If I need to watch my intake of wheat, gluten or sugar, I want to be able to check the information on the pack I’m buying. This is the most important factor for around 25% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a topping is a snack in its own right

    Crushed aniseed sprinkles are intended as a topping for things such as bread, crispbread and yoghurt. Without a base to put them on, you may not be able to use them as planned.

    Before buying, think about when and what you want to sprinkle them on.

  • Guessing the allergens from the product name

    Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for the 270 g pack of De Ruijter checked here.

    If you need to check the ingredients or allergens, read the label on the pack you’re buying.

  • Treating a spreadable version as the same hand-luggage product

    Schiphol classifies spreadable foods under its liquids rules. So the product’s form makes a difference at security.

    Before you travel, check whether you’re taking a dry sprinkle topping or a paste, and follow the applicable hand-luggage rules.
