Common mistakes
-
Assuming it comes in a squeeze bottle based on a search term
A search result won’t necessarily tell you what kind of packaging you’ll receive. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes in a 270 g pack; that listing alone doesn’t confirm that it comes in a squeeze bottle.
Before ordering, check the exact product name, contents and packaging description on the product page.
-
Ordering regular aniseed sprinkles instead of crushed ones
Albert Heijn lists regular and celebration sprinkles in 330 g packs alongside 270 g packs of Gestampte Muisjes. A different weight or celebratory colour doesn’t make them the same variety.
Compare the full product name. If the texture or intended use is important to your choice, try one pack first before stocking up.
-
Relying on an ingredients list you viewed earlier
Albert Heijn says that ingredient and allergy information can change. This is particularly important if someone needs to avoid an allergen.
Check the ingredients and allergen information on the packaging you receive every time you buy.

Frequently asked questions
Can I buy crushed aniseed sprinkles in a squeeze bottle?
First, check that the product on offer really is a squeeze bottle containing crushed aniseed sprinkles. The listings for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes in 270 g packs from Albert Heijn and Jumbo don’t confirm this on their own; a search term or image isn’t enough.
What should I look for if I want to store several packs?
Check the best-before date and storage instructions on every pack before stocking up. Follow the guidance for the exact variety you’re buying rather than assuming it’s the same as another aniseed topping.
What should I check if I have an allergy?
Check the ingredients and allergen information on the packaging you receive. Jumbo lists wheat starch among the ingredients in its 270 g packs of De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes; Albert Heijn points out that product information can change.
Are regular aniseed sprinkles in 330 g packs the same as crushed ones in 270 g packs?
No, they’re different product varieties. Albert Heijn lists them separately, so choose what to stock up on by checking the full product name, not just the brand or pack size.
