Common mistakes

  • Mistaking a box for a squeeze bottle

    PLUS describes the 270 g De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes as a box. De Ruijter Muisjes Blauw & Wit, at 330 g, is a different product, even though the brand name looks familiar.

    If you want a squeeze bottle, check the packaging type as well as the exact product name and size.

  • Relying on old online ingredient information

    Albert Heijn lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for Gestampte Muisjes. As ingredient information can change, an old product listing isn’t enough to assess the product when you use it.

    Read the ingredients list and allergen information on the pack you have in front of you.

  • Assuming convenient packaging means a nutritious breakfast

    Packaging that makes dispensing easy doesn’t, by itself, tell you anything about the overall meal. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends that children aged 4 to 12 choose foods for breakfast and lunch that fit within the Dutch Wheel of Five.

    Check the topping’s nutritional information and consider the other parts of breakfast too.
