Who is this choice relevant to?
Shopper looking for a fine aniseed topping

What should you look for when choosing?
For a student house move, first decide how you want to use the sprinkles. Then compare the product types and read the label before buying.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important to? |
|---|---|---|
| Pack size and use | Compare the amount in the pack with the occasions you want to use the sprinkles for. | If I want to serve something at both a moving-in breakfast and a house get-together, I want to know whether one pack will suit both occasions. For around 40% of consumers, this is the main consideration when it comes to pack size. |
| Texture | Choose between fine crushed aniseed sprinkles, aniseed sprinkles and visible whole muisjes. | If I want a fine topping for bread or crispbread, I’m looking for a different type from the one I’d choose if I wanted the muisjes to be clearly visible. Around 30% of consumers give their preferred texture top priority. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the current allergen information and compare the nutritional information per 100 g if sugar content matters to you. | Before I share something with housemates, I want to know what’s in it. Checking ingredients and allergens is the main concern for around 30% of consumers. |
Common mistakes
-
Leaving it until after you buy to check for wheat and gluten
Jumbo lists wheat starch in De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes and identifies wheat and cereals containing gluten as allergens. The De Ruijter Anijshagel listed by Jumbo also contains wheat.
Check the current packaging before buying the sprinkles or serving them as a shared treat.
-
Skipping the nutritional information because it’s only a topping
Albert Heijn lists 79 g of sugars per 100 g for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes. The amount you use is different from the nutritional value per 100 g.
Check the nutritional information and decide how much you want to use for your breakfast or decoration.
