Shoppers with a strict organic requirement

You want to check the organic status of the exact pack before buying sprinkles for your film night. The brand name, colour or presence of aniseed doesn’t tell you that on its own.

Hosts serving guests

You want to share a sweet topping or snack, so you check the ingredients, allergens and quantity in advance. Albert Heijn lists wheat as an allergen for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes, with a pack size of 270 g and a serving size of 6 g.

Fans of classic aniseed sprinkles

You’re looking for sprinkles for things like crispbread, yoghurt or cupcakes, and organic certification isn’t a condition of purchase. Decide how you’ll serve them before working out how much you need.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, check the organic label on the exact pack. Then see whether the ingredients and allergens are suitable for your guests, and decide how much you want to serve.

What to consider What to check before buying Who should pay particular attention?
Organic status Check the organic label on the packaging of the exact variety. According to Skal Biocontrole, the EU organic logo is compulsory for pre-packed food produced in the EU and sold as organic. I only want to serve sprinkles whose organic status I can check on the pack; an estimated 50% of consumers prioritise this requirement.
Ingredients and allergens Read the current label on the pack you’ve chosen. Albert Heijn’s information for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes lists wheat starch and the allergens wheat and cereals containing gluten. If a guest avoids wheat or gluten, I want to know what’s in this variety before I put it on the table; around 30% of consumers prioritise ingredients and allergens.
Quantity and serving style Compare the pack size with your serving plans. Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes as 270 g per pack, with a 6 g serving size; the serving size on the label may not match how much guests eat when they’re served loose. I want to decide in advance between serving a small amount as a topping and putting out a bowl to snack on; an estimated 20% of consumers consider portion size and serving style the main priority.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming standard sprinkles are organic

    A familiar brand name or aniseed as an ingredient doesn’t confirm that the exact pack is organically certified.

    If organic certification is essential, check the organic label on the packaging before you buy.

  • Checking allergens just before serving

    Albert Heijn’s information for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes lists wheat starch, wheat and cereals containing gluten. This variety isn’t suitable for guests who need to avoid wheat or gluten.

    Check the current label for each variety you choose and, if necessary, pick something else for those guests.

  • Assuming the serving size on the label is right for every guest

    The stated 6 g serving size for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes doesn’t necessarily reflect how much someone will eat when they’re served from a bowl.

    Decide whether you’ll serve the sprinkles as a topping, decoration or snack, then adjust the quantity accordingly.
