Who is this for?

If you want small portions with your coffee

You want to add a little sprinkle alongside your coffee or on a small cake. Albert Heijn lists a 6 g serving of De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes, but the pack contains 270 g. Consider whether measuring out your own portion works just as well for you as buying a smaller pack.

If you want to finish a cake with aniseed

You’re looking for a topping for cake or other bakes and want to know whether the aniseed flavour will work. Albert Heijn and Jumbo suggest using De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes on baked goods; a Jumbo recipe sprinkles them on using a tea strainer.

If you check ingredients

You want to check what’s in the sprinkles before buying. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list wheat and gluten-containing cereals in De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes. Check the label on the pack you buy too, as product information can change.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether you need a smaller pack or simply want to sprinkle less each time. Then check that the flavour, ingredients and nutritional information suit what you plan to serve.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters most to
Pack size or serving Compare the net weight with the serving size. Albert Heijn lists a 270 g pack, with 6 g per serving and 45 servings. If I only decorate cakes occasionally, I don’t want to buy more than I can use. That’s why around 36% of consumers prioritise a genuinely small pack or having little left over.
Flavour and decoration Consider whether you want an aniseed flavour and whether you’ll use the sprinkles as a finishing touch. A Jumbo recipe uses a tea strainer to sprinkle them over baked goods. For my cake, the aniseed flavour and the finished look matter most. That decorative effect is the top priority for around 28% of consumers.
Ingredients and nutritional information Check the current label for ingredients, allergens and sugars per serving. Jumbo lists wheat and gluten-containing cereals, and 4,7 g of sugars per 6 g serving. When I’m serving something to others, I want to know which ingredients and allergens it contains. This check is the top priority for around 36% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Confusing a small serving with a small pack

    The 6 g serving listed by Albert Heijn comes from a 270 g pack. Measuring your own portion helps you control how much you serve each time, but it doesn’t change the size of the pack you buy.

    Check the net weight and packaging type in the product listing. Only assume it’s a mini or portion pack if this is stated explicitly.

  • Assuming aniseed sprinkles and De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes are the same

    They’re different types of sprinkles. Albert Heijn lists a 300 g pack of De Ruijter Anijshagel and a 15 g serving; you can’t directly compare that serving with 6 g of De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes.

    Check the product name, ingredients and nutritional information for the amount you actually plan to use.

  • Relying only on an ingredients list you checked earlier

    Albert Heijn notes that product information can change. This is especially important if you’re checking for wheat or gluten, or monitoring sugar content.

    Check the label on the pack when you buy it, even if you’ve bought the same product before.

A relevant brand to consider

De Ruijter

Albert Heijn and Jumbo list De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes in a 270 g pack. De Ruijter Anijshagel is a separate product, not a smaller version of De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes.

  • The product pages for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes list a 6 g serving and provide information about ingredients and allergens.
  • The listed 270 g pack isn’t a mini pack or an individually wrapped serving; the product contains wheat and gluten-containing cereals.
