Common mistakes
-
Assuming small sprinkles mean a mini portion
The sprinkles are small, but the De Ruijter pack listed by Albert Heijn and Jumbo contains 270 g. That’s not the same as an individually packed portion for a walk.
Check the net weight and measure out the amount you want at home into a dry, sealable container.
-
Taking a sweet topping as your only snack
Crushed aniseed sprinkles can add flavour during a break, but they serve a different purpose from the snacks Wandel suggests taking on longer walks.
For a longer walk, choose what you want to eat as a snack first, such as fruit or nuts, and take some sprinkles as a small extra if you like.
-
Relying only on old allergen information online
Albert Heijn and Jumbo list wheat for the De Ruijter variant described here. Product information can change, so an online listing you viewed earlier is no substitute for the label on your pack.
Before eating, read the ingredients and allergen information on the packaging you’ve actually bought.
