Families who want to buy organic
You should be able to verify the organic claim on the pack of Dutch birth sprinkles itself. According to Skal Biocontrole, the EU logo is mandatory for pre-packed food produced in the EU and sold as organic.
Who is this choice important for?
Large families comparing pack sizes
Whether you’re serving them at breakfast or for a new baby’s celebration, check how many Dutch birth sprinkles are in the pack you’ve chosen. Albert Heijn lists standard De Ruijter varieties in 270 g and 330 g packs; these are different products, not an indication of their organic status.
Families checking ingredients and allergens
Read the label on the exact variety before serving it. Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes 270 g.

Common mistakes when choosing
-
Assuming an organic range means the Dutch birth sprinkles are organic
A retailer may sell organic products without every variety of Dutch birth sprinkles being organic. A claim about the range doesn’t tell you anything about the pack in your hands.
Check the organic claim and EU logo on the specific product. According to Skal Biocontrole, the logo is mandatory for pre-packed food produced in the EU and sold as organic.

Relying on the brand name to check for allergens
Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes 270 g. Albert Heijn also lists these allergens for De Ruijter Blauwe en witte muisjes 330 g.
Before serving, check the current label for the exact colour and pack. Don’t rely on the brand name or information for a different variety.
