Who is this relevant to?

If you just want something sweet after stamppot

You’re after that familiar aniseed flavour, but mainly want to know whether you can buy a small portion. The 270 g pack listed by Jumbo and Foodstore Andaluz means you’ll need to portion it yourself.

If you want to use crushed aniseed sprinkles as a sweet topping

You’re looking for a sweet addition to enjoy separately, not a savoury ingredient for your stamppot. For example, Jumbo uses crushed aniseed sprinkles in a recipe for sweet rolls.

If you need to check for allergens

Check the pack you’re buying: Foodstore Andaluz lists wheat and milk in De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes, while Albert Heijn points out that product information can change.

What should you look for when choosing?

For a sweet treat on your own during a stamppot evening, the pack format, how you plan to use it and the label are all key considerations.

What to consider What to check when buying Who is this important for?
Portion size Check the net weight and whether it’s a single portion or a pack of sprinkles. If I just want a small sweet treat, I don’t want to mistake a multi-use pack for a single snack bar. For around 45% of consumers, a small portion that’s ready to enjoy is likely to matter most.
Flavour and use Check whether you’re specifically looking for crushed aniseed sprinkles; aniseed hundreds and thousands are a different kind of topping. With a savoury stamppot, I’d rather save the aniseed flavour for something sweet on the side or afterwards. An estimated 33% of consumers are likely to prioritise flavour and how the product will be used.
Ingredients and label Read the ingredients, allergen and nutritional information on the pack for the portion you intend to have. If I need to watch my intake of wheat or milk, or want to know how much sugar is in my portion, the current label will help me decide. This is likely to be the top priority for around 22% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Mistaking a pack of sprinkles for a single snack bar

    Jumbo and Foodstore Andaluz list a 270 g pack of De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes. This isn’t the right format if you want to pick up a single snack bar.

    Check the pack format and net weight before buying. If you only want a small amount, portion it out yourself.

  • Relying on out-of-date ingredients information

    Foodstore Andaluz lists wheat and milk; Albert Heijn warns that ingredients and allergen information can change.

    If you have an allergy, check the label on the pack you’re actually going to use. Don’t make your choice based on an older product listing.

  • Using a sweet topping as a savoury seasoning

    Crushed aniseed sprinkles work well in sweet recipes, such as those shown by Jumbo. That doesn’t automatically make them a suitable ingredient to add to stamppot.

    It’s better to serve them separately as a sweet finishing touch, for example with bread or crispbread.

  • Not considering how much topping you’ll use

    Foodstore Andaluz lists sugar as the first ingredient in De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes. The nutritional information for sprinkles in general won’t necessarily match this product.

    Decide how much you want to use, then check the current pack for nutritional information per 100 g or per portion.

Frequently asked questions

Are crushed aniseed sprinkles a snack bar for one?

The De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes listed by Jumbo and Foodstore Andaluz come in a 270 g pack, not as an individual snack bar. Check the pack format if you’re specifically looking for a ready-to-eat single portion.

How can you enjoy crushed aniseed sprinkles during a stamppot evening?

It’s better to enjoy crushed aniseed sprinkles as a separate sweet treat than as a savoury ingredient in stamppot. Jumbo, for example, uses them in sweet rolls; a small amount on bread or crispbread also works well as a topping.

Which allergens should I check in crushed aniseed sprinkles?

Foodstore Andaluz lists wheat and milk in De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes. Check the label on your own pack before use, as ingredients and allergen information can change, according to Albert Heijn.

Where can I find allergens on the label?

For pre-packed foods, allergens are listed in the ingredients list. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority states that declaring 14 allergens is a legal requirement; check the ingredients list on the pack you buy.
