Anyone looking for something to serve with a fish dinner

If you’re looking for a savoury accompaniment to fish, bear in mind that Albert Heijn and Jumbo describe crushed aniseed sprinkles as a sweet topping or decoration. That distinction matters less if you’re planning a separate sweet treat.

Anyone who wants to share a sweet topping

A 270 g pack can provide enough for several breakfasts or lunches. The stated 6 g portion is used for the nutritional information; it isn’t a separately wrapped sachet.

Anyone checking ingredients and nutritional information

For De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes, Albert Heijn and Jumbo list wheat and cereals containing gluten. Albert Heijn also states that it contains 79 g of sugars per 100 g. Check the packaging itself if these details will affect your choice.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether you’re looking for something to go with a savoury fish meal, or want to use crushed aniseed sprinkles for a separate sweet treat. Then consider whether a single pack is practical and whether the label meets your needs.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters to
Savoury or sweet use Check whether you’re looking for something to serve with fish or a sweet addition to bread, yoghurt or a decoration. I’m looking for something savoury to serve with fish and don’t want sweet bread topping instead; around 63% of consumers prioritise whether a product goes with the meal.
Packaging and sharing Compare a single 270 g pack with your need for individually wrapped portions; 6 g is the portion stated on the label. For lunch boxes, I want to know whether I’ll need to portion it out from one pack myself; around 25% of consumers prioritise how easy it is to share.
Ingredients and sugars Read the current ingredients and allergen information, and compare the nutritional information per 100 g and per portion. If I avoid wheat or keep an eye on sugars, I need the label to give me the information I need; around 12% of consumers prioritise these details.

Common mistakes

  • Buying a sweet topping to serve with savoury fish

    Albert Heijn and Jumbo describe crushed aniseed sprinkles as suitable for things such as bread, yoghurt and decoration. That doesn’t make them an obvious choice for the savoury part of a fish meal.

    Before buying, decide whether you need something to serve with the fish or a sweet treat for another occasion.

  • Mistaking a larger pack for a multipack

    According to the product information, the single 270 g pack contains 45 portions of 6 g, but not 45 individually wrapped portions for lunch boxes.

    Check the packaging if you want to hand out or take along separate portions.

  • Relying only on online allergen information

    Albert Heijn and Jumbo’s product information lists wheat and cereals containing gluten. Ingredient information can change.

    So check the ingredients and allergen information on the pack you’re actually using.

  • Overlooking the sugar content

    Albert Heijn states that De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes contains 79 g of sugars per 100 g. A small amount used as decoration and a larger amount used as a topping therefore won’t provide the same amount of sugars.

    Use the nutritional information per 100 g and the stated portion to assess how much you’ll have.
