Shoppers with a strict organic requirement
You only want to buy crushed aniseed sprinkles if the organic certification on the exact pack can be verified. A standard variety isn’t a suitable alternative for you.
Who is this choice important to?
Shoppers looking for a traditional topping
You’re looking for crushed aniseed sprinkles to add to bread, rusks or yoghurt, or to use as decoration. Before buying, you want to know which ingredients and allergens are listed on the pack you’ve chosen.
Shoppers keeping an eye on wheat and gluten
You check the current allergen information before choosing a sweet topping. Albert Heijn and Jumbo’s product information lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes.
What should you look for when buying?
First decide whether organic certification is a must-have. Then compare the ingredients and allergens on the exact pack with what you need it for.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Organic certification | Look for the EU organic logo on the packaging of the exact variety. According to Skal Biocontrole, this logo is mandatory for pre-packaged food produced in the EU and sold as organic. | If organic is a must-have, I want to see the logo before buying crushed aniseed sprinkles. This certification is the top priority for around 50% of consumers. |
| Ingredients, sugars and allergens | Read the ingredients, allergen information and nutritional values on the current pack, paying particular attention to wheat and gluten and the amount of sugars per 100 g. | If you want to avoid wheat or gluten, or compare sugar content, you’ll want to read the label before buying. This check matters most to around 30% of consumers. |
| Traditional use | Decide how you’ll use the sprinkles and whether the pack size suits your needs. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes in a 270 g pack. | For rusks or yoghurt, I’m mainly looking for the familiar crushed aniseed topping in a suitable pack. This use is the top priority for around 20% of consumers. |
Common mistakes
-
Assuming a product containing anise is organic
Anise as an ingredient, or a place in a shop’s organic range, doesn’t confirm that crushed aniseed sprinkles are organically certified.
Check for the EU organic logo on the packaging of the exact variety before buying it as an organic option.
-
Relying on the product name alone for allergen information
Albert Heijn lists wheat starch as an ingredient in De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes; Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten as allergens.
Read the allergen information and ingredients on the current pack, even if you’ve bought the product before.
A relevant brand to consider
De Ruijter
Albert Heijn and Jumbo list De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes 270 g as a sweet aniseed topping, including for bread and rusks.
- The product listings also suggest using it with yoghurt or as a decoration.
- Albert Heijn lists sugar and wheat starch in the ingredients; Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten as allergens. Check the packaging of the exact variety separately for any organic claim.
