Don’t choose De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes if you need to avoid wheat or cereals containing gluten: Albert Heijn lists wheat starch as an ingredient, while Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten as allergens. A 6 g portion doesn’t change the presence of these ingredients. Check the ingredients and allergen information on the pack you actually have before using it.
When choosing this bread topping, checking the ingredients and allergens matters more than the portion size. Albert Heijn lists wheat starch in De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes; Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten as allergens.
If you don’t need to avoid these ingredients, the stated 6 g portion can help you measure how much you use. The 270 g pack is a different thing from a mini size sold separately.
First check whether the ingredients in De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes are compatible with the ingredients you need to avoid. Then consider the portion size and pack contents.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| An allergen you need to avoid | Read the ingredients and allergen information on the pack, paying particular attention to wheat. | If I need to avoid wheat, using a small amount as a topping doesn’t make this product suitable for me. Around 50% of consumers put avoiding their own allergen first. |
| Up-to-date label information | Compare the pack you receive with your own list of ingredients to avoid. | When I choose a product online, I want to know what’s on my pack before using it; this check is the top priority for around 40% of consumers. |
| Amount used each time | Distinguish the stated 6 g portion from the 270 g pack size. | If wheat and cereals containing gluten aren’t ingredients I need to avoid, measuring the amount I use is my main concern. This is the top priority for around 10% of consumers. |
The stated 6 g portion doesn’t change the fact that De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes contains wheat starch. A small amount is no substitute for avoiding an allergen that matters to you.
Check the ingredients and allergens first. Only use the portion size to measure out an amount if the product is suitable for your list of ingredients to avoid.
Albert Heijn notes that ingredients, nutritional values and allergy information can change. This means the details shown when you order online may not match the pack you receive.
Read the label on the specific pack before using it. If anything you need to know isn’t clear, ask the manufacturer or retailer for clarification.
The stated 6 g is a portion size within a 270 g pack, not a separate pack size for sale.
Check the pack contents if you’re looking for a smaller size; don’t rely on the word ‘mini’ in a search term alone.
De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes 270 g is a specific product you can assess by comparing its ingredients, allergens and portion size.
Not based on the product information listed: Albert Heijn lists wheat starch, while Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten as allergens. Also read the label on the pack you actually buy, as product information can change.
No. The portion size doesn’t change the ingredients and doesn’t mean the product is allergen-free. Don’t use a smaller portion as an alternative to avoiding an allergen that matters to you.
Check the label on the pack you buy, not just the online product title. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority describes the mandatory labelling of 14 allergens; compare the information on the specific product with the ingredients you need to avoid.
