Common mistakes

  • Assuming a pack labelled ‘muisjes’ contains crushed muisjes

    The name ‘muisjes’ alone doesn’t tell you whether they’re crushed, sugar-coated aniseed seeds. A different product type may not be suitable for the same use.

    Check the full product name and description before buying several packs.

  • Planning based on pack weight alone

    The 45 servings of 6 g listed on a pack of De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes are a starting point for planning, not a fixed amount per guest. A topping and self-service may result in different amounts being used.

    First decide how you’ll serve them, work out how many portions you want to offer, then calculate how many 270 g packs you’ll need.

  • Checking allergens only when it’s time to serve

    Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes 270 g. If your guests have a relevant allergy, it’s important to choose the product before the get-together.

    Ask about dietary restrictions in advance, read the current label and, if needed, choose a suitable alternative to serve separately.

  • Ordering whole muisjes as an exact substitute

    De Ruijter Pink Muisjes 330 g and Muisjes Blauw & Wit 330 g are different varieties from De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes 270 g.

    Choose these varieties only if you specifically want whole muisjes; for the crushed variety, check the full name and weight.
