Common mistakes
-
Treating sprinkles as a snack on their own
De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes are used as a topping. Jumbo lists 79 g of sugars per 100 g for this product; that figure alone doesn’t tell you how much you’ll use.
Think about what you’ll sprinkle them on and how much you’ll use. If you’re considering a different topping, compare the nutrition table per 100 g.
-
Relying on a website alone for allergen information
Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten, while WorldwideHolland also mentions milk in the flavouring. This difference means an online listing isn’t enough to make a choice when allergens matter.
Before buying and eating them, check the ingredients and allergen information on the current pack.
