Who is this choice for?

The shopper with a strict organic requirement

You only want to buy crushed aniseed sprinkles if the specific product can be verified as organic. A standard alternative isn’t right for you.

The host of an Orange-themed breakfast

You’re looking for a sweet aniseed topping for bread, crispbread or yoghurt, for example, while you watch the match, and want to know in advance what you’re serving.

The ingredient-conscious eater

You check whether a topping fits your diet, paying particular attention to wheat, gluten and the nutritional information provided.

What should you look for when choosing?

Start with the exact pack: a shop’s organic section tells you nothing about whether crushed aniseed sprinkles are certified. According to Skal Biocontrole, the EU organic logo is mandatory on pre-packed foods produced in the EU and sold as organic. The European Commission also specifies the control body’s code number and the indication of where the agricultural raw materials come from.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Organic certification Check the specific pack for the EU organic logo, the control code and the indication of origin. If organic is essential for me, I won’t pick up a standard pack just because the shop also sells organic products. Verifiable product certification comes first for around 50% of consumers.
Serving during the match Decide what you want to serve the topping on, and check the packaging if the colour needs to suit your Orange-themed spread. If you want something quick to add to bread, crispbread or yoghurt while you watch, using it as a topping is the priority. That’s the most important consideration for around 30% of consumers.
Ingredients and nutritional information Read the allergen information and compare the sugar per 100 g and per portion on the current label. If you avoid wheat or gluten, you’ll want to know what’s in the pack before serving it. Ingredients and nutritional information matter most to around 20% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming an organic range proves that an individual product is organic

    Albert Heijn, Lidl and ALDI have organic ranges, but that doesn’t automatically make an individual pack of crushed aniseed sprinkles organic.

    Check the organic labels on the pack you actually intend to buy.

  • Assuming organic means suitable for every diet

    Organic certification alone tells you nothing about the amount of sugar or the presence of allergens. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list wheat and cereals containing gluten for the standard De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes 270 g.

    Assess the organic label, allergens and nutritional information separately.

  • Assuming the product name tells you what it looks like in an Orange-themed spread

    The name crushed aniseed sprinkles doesn’t tell you what colour the topping will be on the table. The football theme and organic certification are also two separate considerations.

    Check the colour on the current packaging if it matters for your presentation, and check separately for any organic label.
