Gamers who like to portion snacks themselves

If you’d rather not sprinkle straight from a large pack, you can set aside a portion before you start playing. Jumbo and PLUS list De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes in a 270 g pack.

Gamers looking for a topping

Crushed aniseed sprinkles work well as part of a planned snack of bread, crispbread or yoghurt while you’re gaming. PLUS lists these as ways to use the product.

Snack buyers who check the label

If ingredients or allergens affect your choice, check the latest packaging before eating. Poiesz lists wheat starch in De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes.

What should you consider when choosing?

If you’d like an aniseed-flavoured topping for bread, crispbread or yoghurt, think about how you’ll prepare a portion in advance. If you’re after something you can eat straight away, fruit or vegetable sticks are other snack options mentioned by the Netherlands Nutrition Centre.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters to
Measuring out a portion in advance Check the net weight and consider whether you can set aside a portion at home; a search term such as ‘mini’ doesn’t tell you how large the pack is. If I don’t want to keep sprinkling from the pack while I play, I set aside a small amount beforehand. Portion control is the top priority for around 38% of consumers.
Using it as a topping Decide in advance whether you want to use the sprinkles on bread, crispbread or yoghurt, and where you’ll put it during your gaming session. If I want something to eat without loose sprinkles next to my equipment, I first decide what to put them on. Around 37% of consumers prioritise this convenience.
Ingredients and labelling Read the current ingredients list, allergen information and nutritional information on the packaging. If I’m keeping an eye on sugar or wheat, I want to be able to read the packaging before I eat anything. Checking the label comes first for around 25% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming ‘mini’ means a small pack

    Jumbo, PLUS and Poiesz list De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes in a 270 g pack. Small sprinkles don’t mean the pack is divided into portions.

    Check the net weight of the option you’re buying. If you want a small portion, measure some out into a separate bowl yourself.

  • Treating a topping as a snack to eat on its own

    PLUS lists bread, crispbread and yoghurt as ways to use the product. Sprinkling it straight from the pack calls for a different approach from eating a snack by hand.

    Prepare your bread or yoghurt beforehand, or choose a ready-to-eat snack if you don’t want to prepare anything.

  • Relying only on online ingredients information

    Poiesz lists sugar and wheat starch among the ingredients in De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes. Ingredients information can change.

    Check the ingredients and allergen information on the packaging every time you buy it, especially if wheat is a factor in your choice.

A relevant brand to consider

De Ruijter

Jumbo lists De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes in a 270 g pack. It’s a sprinkle topping, not a pre-portioned snack for gaming.

  • PLUS lists bread, crispbread and yoghurt as ways to use it.
  • If you want a small portion, you’ll need to measure it out yourself from the pack listed.

Frequently asked questions

Is De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes available in a mini pack?

Jumbo, PLUS and Poiesz list the product in a 270 g pack. If you see a smaller size on offer, check the net weight on the product page and packaging before assuming it’s a single portion.

Can you eat crushed aniseed sprinkles on their own while gaming?

They’re used as a topping for bread, crispbread or yoghurt, among other things, as PLUS notes. If you want to eat them during a gaming session, prepare your food beforehand rather than sprinkling from the pack while you play.

What should you check if you avoid wheat or gluten?

Check the current ingredients and allergen information on the packaging of the specific product. Poiesz lists wheat starch in De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes, so don’t assume it’s suitable if you avoid wheat or gluten without checking the label.

What nutritional information matters for a small portion?

Check the ingredients and nutritional values per 100 g on the packaging, and pay attention to how much you actually use. Poiesz lists sugar as the first ingredient; measuring out a portion yourself doesn’t change the product’s ingredients.
