Choose crushed aniseed sprinkles if you want aniseed sprinkles while watching the Oranje: Albert Heijn describes De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes as sugared aniseed, not chocolate. If you’re after Fairtrade chocolate, look for chocolate sprinkles and check the certification mark and exact claim on the packaging. They won’t give you the aniseed flavour of muisjes; Jumbo also lists wheat starch in the ingredients of the De Ruijter product mentioned here, so bear that in mind.

| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Fairtrade chocolate | Check the Fairtrade certification mark and the exact claim on the chocolate sprinkles packaging.

| Ingredients and allergens | Read the current label; Jumbo lists wheat starch in De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes. | If a guest needs to avoid wheat, I want to check the ingredients before serving anything. Around 30% of consumers put this check first. |
