Which pack size is right for you?

Conference planner with a shared buffet

If you’re serving food at several points during the event, you can open one of the nine individual 270 g packs each time. Kantinewinkel lists this pack size; confirm the delivery time before making plans.

Organiser of a small gathering

For a small group or a one-off set-up, you can start with an individual 270 g pack. Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS list this size; check where and when you can get it.

Caterer providing allergen information

At an open buffet or for a lunch box, it should be clear which product you’re serving. Albert Heijn’s product information lists wheat and cereals containing gluten; check the label on the pack you receive.

What should you consider when buying?

First work out how many packs you need for each serving occasion, then choose between individual packs and the bundle of nine. Albert Heijn lists 45 label servings of 6 g for a 270 g pack. That serving size won’t, on its own, tell you how much you need for a buffet.

What to consider What to check Who should pay particular attention?
Quantity and serving Count the serving occasions and decide how many packs you want to open each time. The bundle contains nine 270 g packs. For several buffet servings, I want to have enough ready without opening every pack at once. Getting the quantity right is the main priority for around 38% of consumers.
Order format and delivery Check how many packs you need, the order terms and the confirmed delivery date. When I’m buying for a conference, the order needs to arrive on time and fit my schedule. Around 31% of consumers say that certainty about their order is their main priority.
Allergen information Read the label on the packs you receive and, when serving food unpackaged, make information about the allergens present available. When I serve the topping without its original packaging, I want to be able to give guests accurate information. Providing information to guests is the main concern for around 31% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Treating the box as one large pack

    According to Kantinewinkel, the catering pack contains nine individual 270 g packs, not one large pack that you pour everything out of at once.

    Plan how many packs to open for each serving occasion, and keep the rest in a dry place until you need them.

  • Assuming other aniseed sprinkle varieties are the same product

    Jumbo lists other varieties of aniseed sprinkles alongside Gestampte Muisjes. Their names and pack sizes don’t automatically mean they’re interchangeable in terms of ingredients or allergens.

    If you choose an alternative, check its exact product name, pack size and current label separately.

  • Relying solely on online allergen information

    Product information can change. According to Ondernemersplein, clear allergen information must be provided to guests for non-prepacked food in the catering industry.

    Check the pack you receive and make sure the relevant allergen information is available at the buffet or when serving lunch boxes.
