Who are sugared aniseed sprinkles for?

Fans of sweet aniseed flavours

If you’re looking for sugared aniseed sprinkles for bread or crispbread rather than a savoury breakfast topping, this is the kind of product for you. That’s how Albert Heijn and Jumbo describe De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes.

Those weighing up how much they’ll use

If you want to work out whether a 270 g pack is right for how often you use this topping, this product may suit you.

Those avoiding wheat or gluten

If the ingredients and allergen information are a deciding factor, note that Albert Heijn and Jumbo list wheat in De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes.

What should you consider when choosing?

First, decide whether sweet aniseed is right for the breakfast you have in mind. Then check that the pack size suits how you’ll use it, and read the label if needed.

What to consider What to check Who it matters to
Savoury flavour Check whether a sugared aniseed flavour suits your breakfast. If you prefer a strictly savoury taste, choose something else. If I want a savoury breakfast, I don’t want sugared aniseed sprinkles as a topping. For around 50% of consumers, a savoury flavour comes first.
Pack size Consider whether 270 g is right for how often you use the topping, and reseal the pack tightly and store it in a dry place after opening. If I only use this topping occasionally, I want to know whether I’ll finish the pack. For around 33% of consumers, choosing a size that suits their usage matters most.
Ingredients and allergens Check the wheat starch and allergen information on the current packaging. If I need to avoid wheat or gluten, I want to know what the label says before using the product. For around 17% of consumers, ingredients and allergens take priority.

Common mistakes

  • Thinking of sugared aniseed sprinkles as a savoury topping

    Albert Heijn and Jumbo describe De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes as sugared aniseed sprinkles. Their flavour isn’t suited to a breakfast that’s meant to be strictly savoury.

    If you prefer a strictly savoury taste, choose a breakfast product that fits the bill.

  • Looking only at the pack size

    Whether 270 g is right for you also depends on how often you use the sprinkles and how you store them after opening.

    Choose a quantity that suits how you’ll use them. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends sealing the pack tightly and storing it in a dry place.

  • Skipping the allergen information

    Albert Heijn and Jumbo’s product information lists wheat in De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes.

    If you need to avoid wheat or gluten, check the current ingredients and allergen information on every new pack.
