Who should consider the packaging options?

People who want to measure out small portions

Whether you’re having them on bread or using them as a topping, you may only want a small amount at a time. Albert Heijn and Jumbo product pages show a 270 g pack with a listed serving size of 6 g. You’ll need to measure out the portions yourself.

People avoiding wheat or gluten

For the De Ruijter variant listed, the ingredients and allergens matter more than the pack size: the product information lists wheat starch, wheat and cereals containing gluten. Check the current label on the pack.

People who want to manage how much they use

If you’re considering crushed aniseed sprinkles as a store-cupboard item for different occasions, compare the amount you actually use with the nutritional information. De Ruijter’s product information lists 79 g of sugars per 100 g.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, decide whether you need individually wrapped portions or can measure out the amount you need from a larger pack.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a serving size means it’s a mini pack

    The 6 g serving listed by Albert Heijn is the amount you can use from the 270 g pack, not an individually wrapped sachet.

    Do you need separate portions for serving or taking on the go? Check the packaging of the exact product before buying in bulk.

  • Checking the size but not the allergens

    The product information for the De Ruijter variant listed includes wheat starch, wheat and cereals containing gluten.

    Check the ingredients and allergens on the current pack label, even if you’ve bought the same brand before.

  • Assuming a small portion means little sugar per 100 g

    Scooping out a smaller amount doesn’t change the product’s composition. According to the product information, the De Ruijter variant listed contains 79 g of sugars per 100 g.

    Compare the amount you plan to use with the nutritional information on the pack.
