Who is this choice relevant to?

Organisers of a large Easter brunch

If you’re shopping for lots of guests or several servings, estimating the number of portions can help you choose between individual packs and a case. Albert Heijn lists each pack as 270 g, with 45 servings of 6 g; Kantinewinkel lists a case of nine 270 g packs.

People buying for a group

For a group order, delivery arrangements matter too. Check when the case can be delivered before planning to use it for a brunch on a set date; Kantinewinkel asks customers to enquire about delivery times.

Brunch organisers with guests who avoid wheat or gluten

When planning your buffet, the label on the pack you actually receive is what matters. Jumbo’s product information lists wheat starch as an ingredient and identifies wheat and cereals containing gluten as allergens.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, work out how much you expect to serve. Then check the ingredients for your guests and confirm delivery arrangements for a larger order.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters to
Quantity and packaging Count your guests and servings. Compare your estimated usage with the 6 g serving size listed by Albert Heijn for the 270 g pack; a case contains nine of these packs. If the number of guests may change, I don’t want to order more packs than I’m likely to use. For around 46% of consumers, the quantity needed comes first.
Ingredients and allergens Check the ingredients and allergens on the packaging you receive. For De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes, Jumbo lists wheat starch as an ingredient and wheat and cereals containing gluten as allergens. If a guest needs to avoid wheat or gluten, I want to know whether these sprinkles can go on the table before serving. For around 36% of consumers, allergen information is the deciding factor.
Delivery time Ask when a case can be delivered; Kantinewinkel asks customers to get in touch about delivery times. For a brunch on a set date, I want to know when my order will arrive. For around 18% of consumers, on-time delivery is a priority.

Common buying mistakes

  • Assuming a case is one large pack

    The case listed by Kantinewinkel contains nine separate 270 g packs. That’s 2.43 kg in total, not one large pack to serve from.

    Estimate how much you’ll need before ordering nine packs. If you’re not sure how many guests will come, you could also weigh out several individual packs.

  • Relying on the product name alone when checking allergens

    Jumbo’s product information lists wheat starch as an ingredient and wheat and cereals containing gluten as allergens in De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes.

    Check the label on the pack you receive before serving, and have a suitable alternative available for guests who need to avoid these ingredients.

  • Assuming the delivery time without confirming it

    For the case, Kantinewinkel asks customers to get in touch about delivery times. So don’t plan your order around an assumed delivery date.

    Before ordering, ask whether the case can be delivered in time for your Easter brunch.
