Who is this choice relevant to?

Hotel teams looking to reduce spills

If you serve sugar-coated aniseed sprinkles alongside coffee, first choose between whole and crushed sprinkles. Both are dry toppings; assess separately which dry packaging or dispenser is suitable for serving them.

Breakfast teams responsible for allergen information

If you transfer the sprinkles to a jar or dispenser, information about allergens in the version you are using must remain available to guests. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority requires businesses to inform consumers about allergens present in food.

What should you consider when choosing?

First, choose the dry product type and the presentation you want. Then consider how you will serve the sprinkles and how guests can access the allergen information.

What to consider What to check when buying Who is this important for?
Dispensing without a squeeze bottle Check whether the packaging is suitable for dispensing the dry topping; assess any dry dispenser separately. If I serve sugar-coated aniseed sprinkles alongside coffee, I want to reduce spills without using a squeeze bottle designed for liquid toppings. For around 42% of consumers, dispensing without spills would be their main concern.
Whole or crushed sprinkles Compare the descriptions “sugar-coated aniseed seeds” and “crushed sugar-coated aniseed seeds”. When serving them on beschuit, I want to choose between the visible form of whole sprinkles and a crushed version. Around 33% of consumers would put the product type first.
Allergens when serving unwrapped Check the label on the version you are using and make sure the information remains available when serving it. Once the sprinkles are put in a shared jar, I want to be able to tell guests which allergens are present. This would be the main concern for around 25% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Treating sugar-coated aniseed sprinkles as a liquid coffee topping

    Jumbo describes Feest Muisjes and Gestampte Muisjes as dry, sugar-coated aniseed seeds, not liquid toppings. A squeeze bottle for liquids is therefore not a suitable choice for dispensing these products.

    First, choose whole or crushed sprinkles. If you want to serve them outside their original packaging, check separately that a dry dispenser is suitable for food contact and for the way you want to serve them.

  • Leaving the allergen information on the packaging

    According to Jumbo and Albert Heijn, De Ruijter Feest Muisjes contain wheat. If guests help themselves to the sprinkles from a shared jar, they still need information about the allergens present, even if the original packaging is not there.

    Check the label on the version you are using and keep the allergen information available when serving it. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority requires businesses to inform consumers about allergens present in food.

Frequently asked questions

Can I serve sugar-coated aniseed sprinkles with hotel coffee from a squeeze bottle?

Do not use a squeeze bottle designed for liquid toppings for the dry sprinkles described here. Jumbo describes Feest Muisjes as sugar-coated aniseed seeds and Gestampte Muisjes as crushed sugar-coated aniseed seeds; assess any packaging for dry dispensing separately.

How should I store sugar-coated aniseed sprinkles while serving them?

Keep De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes dry, as Jumbo specifies for this version. For other versions, check the instructions on the packaging and, if you transfer them, choose a suitable dry serving solution.

Does a hotel have to provide allergen information when serving sugar-coated aniseed sprinkles in a shared jar?

Yes. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says businesses must inform consumers about allergens present in the food they offer. Check the version you are using: Jumbo and Albert Heijn list wheat for De Ruijter Feest Muisjes.

Where can I check the ingredients and allergens just before serving?

Check the label on the pack you are actually using. Albert Heijn notes that ingredient and allergen information can change; make sure this information is available if you serve the sprinkles outside their original packaging.
