Choose De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes, 270 g, if you specifically want crushed aniseed sprinkles for bread, rusks or yoghurt. If a shared breakfast calls for a larger pack and you’re happy with a different product form, De Ruijter Feestmuisjes, 330 g, contains whole aniseed sprinkles. De Ruijter Anijshagel, 300 g, is sugar strands flavoured with aniseed, not aniseed sprinkles. According to Albert Heijn’s product information, all three list wheat and cereals containing gluten, so check the label if this matters to your choice.
For anyone who wants to quickly add crushed aniseed sprinkles to bread, rusks or yoghurt, and doesn’t want to choose based on pack weight alone. Albert Heijn describes De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes as crushed, sugared aniseed.
For anyone who values a larger quantity more than the crushed form. The 330 g pack of De Ruijter Feestmuisjes listed by Albert Heijn contains whole aniseed sprinkles, so it isn’t simply a larger pack of the same product.
For anyone whose choice depends on the presence of wheat and cereals containing gluten. Albert Heijn’s product information lists these allergens for Gestampte Muisjes, Feestmuisjes and Anijshagel. Before using the product, check the label on the pack you buy too.

| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed form | Check the product name and compare crushed aniseed sprinkles with whole ones or aniseed-flavoured sugar strands. | If I specifically want crushed aniseed sprinkles on bread, rusks or yoghurt, a larger pack in a different product form won’t suit my preference. Around 42% of consumers would prioritise the crushed form. |
| Quantity for sharing | Compare the net weight: according to Albert Heijn, De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes contains 270 g and Feestmuisjes 330 g. | For breakfast with several people, I want enough to go around, even if that means choosing whole rather than crushed aniseed sprinkles. For around 33% of consumers, quantity would be the main consideration. |
| Label information | Read the current allergen information and, if sugar content matters to your choice, check the nutritional information per 100 g and per serving. | If wheat, cereals containing gluten or nutritional values determine my choice, I want to be able to check the packaging before using the topping. Around 25% of consumers would consider label information first. |
The 330 g pack of Feestmuisjes mentioned here contains whole aniseed sprinkles. So, in this case, more in the pack also means a different product form from the 270 g pack of Gestampte Muisjes.
Choose the product form you want first, then compare pack weights.
Albert Heijn lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for the Gestampte Muisjes, Feestmuisjes and Anijshagel varieties mentioned here.
Read the allergen information on the current packaging before buying or using the product.
The product information describes crushed aniseed sprinkles as a topping, for example for bread, rusks or yoghurt.
When choosing, think about what you’ll use them on and check the nutritional information on the packaging.
The product range mentioned includes Gestampte Muisjes, 270 g; Feestmuisjes, 330 g; and Anijshagel, 300 g, as listed by Albert Heijn.
The 270 g weight alone doesn’t tell you how many people the pack will serve. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list the pack size. If you need more, you can compare it with the 330 g Feestmuisjes, but those are whole aniseed sprinkles.
Yes, both are listed in Albert Heijn’s product information. If you have a dietary restriction, always check the allergen information on the pack you buy.
Store them in a dry place, as Jumbo advises for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes. Also follow the storage and best-before information on the packaging.
The product information describes them as a topping for foods such as bread, rusks or yoghurt, not as a breakfast product in their own right. Check the nutritional information and decide how you’d like to use them as part of your breakfast.
