Who is this for?

Hosts who want to serve small portions themselves

You want to set out a small amount for each friend to enjoy with their coffee. Jumbo lists De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes in a 270 g pack, with nutritional values per 6 g; you can decide how much to serve using small bowls or spoons.

Lovers of crushed aniseed

You’re specifically choosing crushed aniseed sprinkles for something like crispbread or bread, rather than just a topping with an aniseed flavour. Jumbo’s ingredients list includes aniseed.

Hosts who need to check the ingredients

If a guest avoids wheat or gluten, checking the label is important before serving. Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether you really want crushed aniseed sprinkles or whether another aniseed topping would also work. Then consider how you want to portion it out for each guest, and check the ingredients before serving.

What to consider What to check when buying Who is this important for?
Portions Check the pack size and decide whether you want to set out small bowls or spoons yourself. The 6 g amount listed by Jumbo is a reference for the label, not a mini portion. If I want to set out a small amount for each friend, I’d rather decide for myself how much goes on the table. Portion control is the main purchasing concern for around 42% of consumers.
Flavour and texture Compare the ingredients: Jumbo lists aniseed for Gestampte Muisjes, while Joybuy’s product information for De Ruijter Anijsstrooisels lists aniseed oil. If you want the texture of crushed aniseed with your coffee, don’t choose based on pack size alone. Flavour and texture come first for around 33% of consumers.
Ingredients and allergens Read the current label before serving, especially for wheat and cereals containing gluten. If a guest avoids wheat or gluten, I want to know what the pack I’m serving says. Ingredients and allergens are the main purchasing concern for around 25% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming ‘Kleintjes’ means mini portions of Gestampte Muisjes

    De Ruijter 8 Kleintjes variety at Albert Heijn contains other types of bread spread, including chocolate spread and honey. So the name doesn’t mean it’s mini portions of Gestampte Muisjes.

    Check the full product name and ingredients if you’re specifically looking for crushed aniseed sprinkles.

  • Confusing a nutritional serving with a packaged portion size

    Jumbo lists nutritional values per 6 g for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes, while the pack contains 270 g. The reference on the label doesn’t mean the pack includes individual portion sachets.

    Use the per-6 g value to compare nutritional information, and spoon out the amount you want yourself.

  • Treating aniseed sprinkles and Gestampte Muisjes as the same product

    The ingredients are different: Jumbo lists aniseed for Gestampte Muisjes, while Joybuy’s product information lists aniseed oil and dextrose for De Ruijter Anijsstrooisels.

    Choose based on the type of product and its ingredients, not just the mention of aniseed.

  • Relying only on an older product listing

    Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes. If your guests avoid these ingredients, check the information on the pack you’re serving.

    Read the current label before serving, and discuss the ingredients with your guests if needed.
