Plan how much crushed muisjes to buy for a conference based on the number of toppings you want to serve, rather than assuming you can get a bulk pack. Albert Heijn lists 45 servings of 6 g on the label for a 270 g jar of De Ruijter; actual consumption may differ at a buffet where guests help themselves. Check availability before ordering, and if you’re serving the product loose, make sure allergen information for wheat and cereals containing gluten is available.
If you’re buying for a known number of attendees, you can use the 45 servings of 6 g per jar shown on the label as a basis for your calculations. That figure won’t tell you how much guests will actually take from a self-service buffet.
It’s important to provide information about allergens in muisjes served on pre-prepared snacks or in a buffet dish. Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for De Ruijter Crushed Muisjes; check the packaging you’re serving too.
The topping you want can help you choose what to serve with bread, crispbread, yoghurt or pastries. Crushed muisjes, aniseed sprinkles and coloured muisjes are different product types, so choose the one that suits the dish you’re planning.
First, decide how many portions you want to offer and how guests will be served. Then choose the product type and make sure allergen information is available before serving.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters most to |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity and packaging | Albert Heijn lists 270 g and 45 servings of 6 g per jar. Match the number of jars to the amount you plan to serve, and check availability. | If I’m preparing toppings in advance, I want to order enough jars without assuming one labelled serving equals what each guest will use.

| Allergen information | Check the current ingredients and allergen information on the packaging. Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten; if you’re serving the product loose, make sure guests can access this information. | At an open buffet, I want guests to be able to check which allergens the topping contains. Around 33% of consumers say this information is their top priority. |
| Presentation and product type | Choose between crushed muisjes, aniseed sprinkles and coloured muisjes. Check the ingredients and serving size for the option you choose. | For a themed table, I want to know whether the colour and texture will suit what I’m serving. Presentation matters most to around 25% of consumers. |
The 45 servings shown on the label give you a starting point for calculating quantities, but they don’t tell you anything about outer cases, minimum order quantities or delivery for your event.
First, work out how many jars you need based on the portions you plan to serve. Before ordering, ask about the pack format, best-before date and delivery date.
