De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes 270 g are a good fit if you specifically want to take dry anise sprinkles with you, but they are not a proven lower-sugar option: Albert Heijn and Jumbo list 79 g of sugars per 100 g. If reducing sugar is your main priority, compare the nutritional information per 100 g for a specific alternative against this figure. Separately, check whether any liquid or spreadable products you want to take with you comply with Schiphol’s hand luggage rules.
You want to take dry sprinkles or an alternative with you, but you’re choosing based on sugar content. For that, the label on the exact product needs to show a lower figure per 100 g than the standard Gestampte Muisjes.
You’re looking for the familiar sugared anise seeds to enjoy on bread, rusks or yoghurt. However, the standard version checked here has not been shown to be a lower-sugar option.
Before buying, you check the packaging for wheat and gluten-containing cereals; these are listed for the De Ruijter version checked here.
If your aim is to cut down on sugar, compare the sugar content first. Then check the ingredients and consider what you actually want to take in your hand luggage.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Sugar content | Albert Heijn and Jumbo list 79 g of sugars per 100 g for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes 270 g. Compare this with the per-100 g figure on the label of an alternative. | If I specifically want less sugar, I need to see a demonstrably lower figure, rather than just a different product name; an estimated 50% of consumers put this comparison first. |
| Hand luggage | Keep the sprinkles dry and check separately whether any products you’re taking with them are liquid or spreadable. Schiphol’s liquid rules apply to these. | I want to take my food with me without overlooking a spreadable topping; an estimated 30% of consumers put hand luggage convenience first. |
| Wheat and gluten | Read the current label: wheat and gluten-containing cereals are listed for the De Ruijter version checked here. | If I need to avoid wheat or gluten, I want to check the ingredients before buying; an estimated 20% of consumers make this their top priority. |
A similar name or taste tells you nothing about the sugar content. Albert Heijn lists 91 g of sugars per 100 g for De Ruijter Anijshagel, compared with 79 g per 100 g for the Gestampte Muisjes checked here, according to Albert Heijn and Jumbo.
Always compare the ‘of which sugars’ figure per 100 g for the exact product.
A smaller serving doesn’t automatically mean a product contains less sugar per unit of weight.
Compare products per 100 g first, as the Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises, then check the serving size you plan to use.
The De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes checked here list wheat and gluten-containing cereals. Product information can change.
If you need to avoid certain ingredients, read the label on the packaging every time you buy.
Yoghurt or a spreadable topping you want to eat with the Muisjes may be subject to different hand luggage rules from dry sprinkles.
Check these products separately against Schiphol’s liquid rules and follow the instructions at security.

Dry Gestampte Muisjes are not classed as liquid or spreadable food, which Schiphol’s liquid rules cover. Keep them dry and packaged; security will assess what you’re allowed to take with you.
Under Schiphol’s rules, liquid or spreadable foods are subject to the hand luggage rules for liquids: no more than 100 ml per container, packed in a transparent, resealable bag with a maximum capacity of 1 litre. Check any accompanying product separately; taking dry Muisjes with it does not exempt it from these rules.
Compare products per 100 g first. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends this as serving sizes can vary; then use the per-serving figure to assess how much sugar you’ll consume on the occasion you have in mind.
