Who is this choice for?

Buffet planner catering for a large group

You want to buy enough aniseed sprinkles without opening more packs than necessary. Kantinewinkel lists a case containing nine individual 270 g packs; check the delivery date before you plan around it.

Setting up a dessert or rusk bar

The topping will be on show at the buffet, so you need to choose between the fine crushed variety and whole Feest Muisjes. Jumbo lists rusks, yoghurt and cakes as uses for the crushed variety.

Organiser responsible for allergen information

You want to know which allergens are listed on the packs you receive and how guests can access that information. Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes; the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority also highlights the need to provide allergen information for unpackaged catering products.

What should you look for when buying?

First, work out how many packs you need and what texture you want to serve. Then check the labels on the packs that will actually be served at the buffet.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters to
Quantity and order format Compare the number of packs and the net weight. Kantinewinkel lists a case of 9 × 270 g; check the delivery date too. For a large buffet, I want to have enough unopened packs ready without ending up with unnecessary leftovers. Around 40% of consumers put quantity and order format first.
Texture and presentation Choose between crushed aniseed sprinkles and whole Feest Muisjes; consider the colour you want and try the topping on the buffet dish beforehand. For my dessert or rusk bar, I want the topping to look just right. Around 30% of consumers put presentation first.
Allergen information Read the label on the packs you receive. Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes. When I serve food to guests, I want to be able to give them clear information about any allergens before they choose. This is the main concern for around 30% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Thinking a case is one large pack

    The case listed by Kantinewinkel contains nine individual 270 g packs, not one large pack to scoop from.

    Plan how many packs you need for each part of the buffet and only open them when you’re ready to use them.

  • Assuming crushed aniseed sprinkles are gluten-free

    Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes. When sharing information with guests, check the label on the packs you receive.

    Check the packaging when your order arrives and keep the latest allergen information available when you serve the sprinkles.

  • Treating crushed and whole sprinkles as the same topping

    De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes and Feest Muisjes differ in shape. Jumbo also lists them in 270 g and 330 g packs respectively.

    Choose the texture based on how you want to present the sprinkles on rusks, yoghurt or cakes, then work out how many packs to buy.

Frequently asked questions

Which allergens should I check for in De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes?

At the very least, check the full allergen information on the packaging you receive; Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for the crushed variety. Don’t rely solely on an online ingredients list: another listing for the same product name also mentions flavouring containing milk.

Do I need to provide allergen information at a professional wedding buffet?

Yes. If you’re a business serving food to consumers, you must make information about the allergens present available, including for unpackaged products such as catering dishes. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority and Business.gov.nl, guests must be able to access this information before making a choice. A private buffet organised by someone who isn’t acting as a business doesn’t automatically fall under this requirement for businesses.
