Choose De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes 270 g if you specifically want to serve crushed, sugar-coated aniseed for your work meeting. Albert Heijn lists 45 portions of 6 g per pack, but that doesn’t automatically mean 45 guest portions. Plan the quantity around what you’ll serve, and don’t assume a larger bag labelled ‘aniseed sprinkles’ is the same as this bread topping without checking first.
You want to offer a familiar treat without having lots left over. The number of servings and your choice of base product matter more when working out quantities than the number of people attending alone.
You need to plan the quantity and make sure guests can check the product and allergen information if the aniseed sprinkles are served loose.
You want fewer individual packs to manage, but need to check that a product labelled ‘aniseed sprinkles’ actually contains crushed aniseed for bread or crispbread, rather than sweets.
First decide what you’ll serve the aniseed sprinkles with and how often. Then check the quantity, the information available to guests and the exact product variant.
| What to consider | What to check | Most relevant for |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity | The De Ruijter pack contains 270 g; Albert Heijn lists 45 portions of 6 g. Work out how much you want to serve and allow for self-service. | If I’m putting out crispbread or yoghurt, I want enough topping without lots left over. For around 40% of consumers, planning the quantity comes first. |
| Allergen information | Check the label on the pack you buy for wheat and cereals containing gluten. If serving the product loose, make sure guests can access the information. | If I’m putting out an open serving bowl, I want guests to be able to check what’s in it before choosing. Around 30% of consumers give this information the highest priority. |
| Part of the spread | Decide whether the sweet topping is a small addition or a larger part of the meeting snacks, then choose the other snacks to suit. | If not everyone fancies something sweet, I want to be able to offer other options too. Around 20% of consumers put this consideration first. |
| Exact product type | For larger bags, compare the category, ingredients, description and intended use. The word ‘aniseed sprinkles’ alone isn’t enough. | If I’m buying something for crispbread, I want crushed aniseed, not a different type of product. Avoiding this kind of mix-up is the main concern for around 10% of consumers. |
The 45 portions of 6 g listed on the pack don’t tell you how many guests you can serve. How much you use depends partly on what you’re topping and whether guests are helping themselves.
First count the crispbreads, slices of bread or other portions you plan to serve. Then use the pack weight to work out how many packs you’ll need.
