Who is this for?

Families having breakfast together on Sunday

If several people want bread or crispbread with crushed aniseed sprinkles, the serving information can help you plan. For the 270 g pack, Albert Heijn lists 45 servings of 6 g; the amount you sprinkle yourself may differ.

Parents planning lunchboxes too

If you want to use sweet toppings for breakfast and lunch, consider more than just the number of packs you need: think about the rest of the meal as well. For children aged 4 to 12, the Voedingscentrum recommends choosing mainly foods from the Dutch Wheel of Five for breakfast and lunch.

Shoppers checking ingredients

If wheat, gluten or sugar content matters for your household, read the label on the pack you buy. The product information from Albert Heijn and Jumbo lists wheat and gluten in De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes.

What should you look for?

First, work out how many people and mealtimes you’re buying for. Then consider whether the topping fits your planned breakfast or lunch choices and your household’s dietary needs.

What to consider What to check Who is it important for?
Quantity for several people Compare how much you plan to use with the 270 g in each pack and the 45 servings of 6 g listed by Albert Heijn. Check the best-before date if you’re buying several packs. When several of us are having breakfast together, I want enough sprinkles without ending up with packs we can’t use in time. For around 33% of consumers, planning their supplies is the top priority.
Breakfast and lunchboxes Think about which bread, crispbread or other base you’ll use the sprinkles on, and how they fit into the rest of the meal. When I’m making lunchboxes too, I want to have a choice and not plan around sweet toppings alone. For around 25% of consumers, how well a product fits into their routine is their main concern.
Ingredients and nutritional information Check the ingredients, allergens and nutritional values per 100 g on the pack you buy; the product information from Albert Heijn and Jumbo lists wheat and gluten. If someone in my household needs to avoid wheat or gluten, or if I’m keeping an eye on sugar, the label tells me whether this pack is suitable. For around 42% of consumers, ingredients and nutrition are the top priority.

Common mistakes

  • Mistaking an individual pack for a multipack

    Albert Heijn and Jumbo list De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes as an individual 270 g pack. The product name alone on a shopping list won’t tell you how many packs you’re ordering.

    Plan how many breakfasts and lunches you’ll need it for, then check the number of individual packs in your order. Use the listed 6 g serving as a guide, not as a fixed amount for everyone.

  • Only noticing the wheat and gluten after buying

    The ingredients list includes wheat starch, and the product information lists wheat and gluten. This pack is therefore unsuitable for anyone who needs to avoid wheat or gluten.

    Check the allergen information on the packaging you’re actually buying. If necessary, choose another product whose label meets your requirements.

  • Planning sweet sprinkles as the basis for every child’s lunch

    Albert Heijn lists 79 g of sugar per 100 g for this product. For children aged 4 to 12, the Voedingscentrum recommends choosing mainly foods from the Dutch Wheel of Five for breakfast and lunch.

    When planning breakfast or lunch, consider the whole meal and use the nutritional information and serving size to decide whether to add crushed aniseed sprinkles.

  • Relying only on online product information

    A product page you viewed earlier may not match the label on the pack you eventually buy. This is especially important if ingredients or allergens affect your choice.

    Before use, check the label on the pack you’ve bought, even if you already know the product name.
