A 270 g bag of crushed aniseed sprinkles can be shared in small portions as a sweet topping, but it isn’t a group lunch. Albert Heijn lists 45 labelled servings of 6 g; how many pupils the bag will serve depends on how much you want to use per person. Sort out the main lunch first, then check the ingredients and school rules before sharing.
If bread, crispbread or yoghurt is already sorted, you can share out crushed aniseed sprinkles as an extra treat. Albert Heijn lists 45 labelled servings of 6 g for the 270 g bag; decide how much you want to use per pupil.
Start with the lunch itself, then decide whether a sweet topping is suitable. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre suggests options for a school lunch such as wholemeal bread, vegetables, fruit and suitable toppings.
Before sharing, check whether anyone needs to avoid wheat or gluten. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list wheat and cereals containing gluten for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes 270 g; check the packaging you buy too.
First, choose what the pupils will have for lunch. Then decide whether an aniseed topping will work, how much you want to share out and which ingredients you need to check for the group.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Sharing and portions | Compare the 270 g contents and 6 g labelled serving with how much you want to use per pupil. Make sure you have something to sprinkle them on. | When I’m sharing with a group, I want to work out in advance how many small toppings I can hand out. For around 31% of consumers, portioning comes first. |
| Aniseed flavour as a treat | Check whether the group likes aniseed flavour and choose bread, crispbread or yoghurt to sprinkle the aniseed sprinkles over. | I want to offer something with aniseed flavour without treating it as lunch; for around 31% of consumers, this extra treat takes priority. |
| Ingredients and school rules | Check the current label for sugars, wheat and cereals containing gluten. If you’re sharing them at school, check the local rules too. | When several pupils are eating together, I want to check first that the topping is suitable for everyone in the group. For around 38% of consumers, checking ingredients is the top priority. |

Albert Heijn and Jumbo list wheat and cereals containing gluten for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes 270 g. If someone needs to avoid these, check before opening the bag.
Ask about relevant allergies or dietary restrictions in advance, and read the label on the pack you’re actually taking with you.
The pack reviewed contains 270 g. Albert Heijn’s 45 servings of 6 g are labelled servings; they don’t mean the bag will be enough for 45 lunches.
Decide how much you want to give each pupil and choose the number of bags accordingly.
The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends checking the food policy at a secondary school. Rules about food or treats may therefore apply at lunchtime.
Ask the school, teacher or organiser what the rules are before bringing anything in to share.
