Who is this for?

Someone who lives alone and occasionally wants a sweet topping

You’re looking for crushed aniseed sprinkles for one breakfast and want to know whether a small pack will be enough. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes in a 270 g jar; check the packaging if you’re looking for individual portions.

Fan of crushed aniseed

You want to sprinkle sweet aniseed on bread or crispbread, or add it to yoghurt. A jar may suit you if you’ll use the product on several occasions and can store it in a dry place.

Someone who checks ingredients carefully

You want to know before buying whether the ingredients suit your dietary needs. Albert Heijn’s product information lists wheat starch; check the latest ingredients and allergen information on the packaging.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether you need an individual portion or will use a jar more than once. Then compare the product type and the latest label information.

What to consider What to check before buying Who is this important to?
Pack size Check the net weight and whether individual portions are explicitly mentioned. The De Ruijter jar listed by Albert Heijn and Jumbo contains 270 g. I only use crushed aniseed sprinkles occasionally and don’t want to buy a whole jar for one breakfast. A small portion is the main priority for around 36% of consumers.
Ingredients and allergens Read the latest ingredients and allergen information. The listed De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes contain wheat. If I need to avoid wheat or gluten, I want to know exactly what’s in the sprinkles before choosing. Ingredients and allergens are the main priority for around 29% of consumers.
Type of aniseed sprinkles Compare the product descriptions: crushed, sugared aniseed seeds are different from anijshagel, sugar strands with aniseed flavour. I’m specifically looking for crushed aniseed sprinkles and don’t want to choose a different product based on aniseed flavour alone. Around 21% of consumers prioritise this choice of product.
Using it on more than one occasion Consider whether you’ll also use the sprinkles on bread or crispbread, or in yoghurt, and whether you can store them in a dry place. A jar is a better fit for my breakfast if I can use the sprinkles on different occasions. Versatile use is the top priority for around 14% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Mistaking a jar for a single portion

    The De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes packs listed by Albert Heijn and Jumbo contain 270 g. A jar like this isn’t an individually wrapped portion for one breakfast.

    Check both the net weight and the type of packaging. Choose a jar if you plan to use its contents more than once; don’t rely on a search term if you need a single portion.

  • Overlooking allergens because it’s a sweet topping

    According to Albert Heijn’s product information, De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes contain wheat starch. The product name alone doesn’t tell you everything about the ingredients.

    Read the latest ingredients and allergen information on the packaging, especially if you need to avoid wheat or gluten.

  • Treating crushed aniseed sprinkles and anijshagel as the same thing

    Gestampte muisjes are described as sugared aniseed seeds, while Albert Heijn describes De Ruijter Anijshagel as sugar strands with aniseed flavour. Similar flavours don’t make them the same product.

    Compare the product description, ingredients and net weight when choosing between these two types of aniseed sprinkles. The listed pack of anijshagel contains 300 g, so it isn’t a single portion either.
