If organic certification is essential for your film night, only choose crushed aniseed sprinkles if you can check the EU organic logo on the specific packaging. A product name that sounds natural isn’t enough; check the ingredients and allergens too, and consider whether loose sprinkles suit the way you want to take your snack with you.
