De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes, 270 g, are not a suitable choice if a guest needs to avoid wheat or gluten: both Albert Heijn and Jumbo list wheat and gluten-containing cereals. If no one has this dietary restriction, you can use the 45 portions of 6 g listed by Albert Heijn as a starting point for planning how much to serve. If anyone has a food allergy, always check the label on the pack you’re actually serving.

Common mistakes
-
Checking only for sugar and aniseed
The ingredients listed by Albert Heijn and Jumbo for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes also include wheat starch. The allergen information lists wheat and gluten-containing cereals.
Ask which allergens your guests need to avoid, then assess the product using the ingredients and allergen information on the packaging. Don’t rely on its flavour or product name.
-
Using an online listing as your final check
Albert Heijn says that information about ingredients and allergens can change. This means a product page you viewed earlier may not match the pack you’re serving.
Check the label on that pack just before serving. If the information isn’t clear about the allergy in question, ask the manufacturer or seller for clarification before offering the product.
-
Assuming one pack will be enough for any group
Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes as a 270 g pack containing 45 portions of 6 g. How much you need depends on the number of guests and how you plan to serve the sprinkles.
Work out in advance how many people will be eating them and how much you want to use on each rusk, serving platter or decoration. Compare this with the stated pack contents before deciding how many packs to buy.
