Quantity Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes as 270 g, with 45 portions of 6 g; work out how much you need based on how you’ll use it. For a shared sweet treat, I want to have enough without assuming a set group size. Quantity is the main consideration for around 33% of consumers.
Ingredients and storage Check the current label for wheat and gluten. Store the pack in a dry place and seal it well after opening, as advised by the Voedingscentrum. If I need to take wheat or gluten into account, I want to read the label before serving anything; storage matters to me too. This is the main concern for around 17% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Mistaking a sweet topping for something to have with chips

    Albert Heijn and Jumbo describe crushed aniseed sprinkles as sugar-coated aniseed seeds for sweet uses. Their product descriptions don’t mention serving them with chips.

    Choose them only if you specifically want a sweet aniseed topping. For chips, look for a product intended for the kind of food you plan to serve.

  • Assuming a 270 g pack is automatically a sharing pack

    Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes as 45 portions of 6 g, but that doesn’t tell you how much you’ll need for your dish or group.

    Work out the quantity you need based on your recipe or planned use as a topping, and the number of people—not on the term ‘sharing pack’.

  • Relying only on an online ingredients list

    Albert Heijn and Jumbo list wheat and gluten in this product. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says allergen information must appear on the label of prepacked foods.

    Check the label on the pack you buy, especially if someone needs to avoid wheat or gluten.
