Choose De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes if you want sweetened aniseed with a quick breakfast: according to Albert Heijn and Jumbo, it is not a chocolate product. If you’re looking for chocolate sprinkles with an explicit Fairtrade label, Fairtrade Original Hagelslag Puur is another option; Albert Heijn lists that label for this product. Check the packaging to see what the certification covers, including if you specifically want to buy Gestampte Muisjes.
If the flavour of sweetened aniseed is what matters most to you, Gestampte Muisjes makes a tasty topping for bread, crispbread or yoghurt at a quick breakfast with coffee. Albert Heijn and Jumbo describe it as an aniseed topping, not chocolate sprinkles.
If a Fairtrade label on a chocolate product matters more to you than anise flavour, look for chocolate sprinkles bearing that label. Albert Heijn lists it for Fairtrade Original Hagelslag Puur; check the packaging to see what it applies to.
If ingredients, allergens or how much you use influence your choice, compare the nutritional information and check the current packaging. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, allergen information for prepacked products must appear on the label.
