If you specifically want De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes, it could be the right choice if you can use a 270 g pack. The 6 g portions shown in the product information are not individually wrapped bars. Anijshagel and Anijsstrooisels are different types of product, so compare the ingredients before choosing them as alternatives.
If you don’t want to buy a multipack straight away, check the physical packaging. Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes in a 270 g pack, with a nutritional portion size of 6 g. That portion size doesn’t mean the pack contains individually wrapped snacks.
The type of product you want can determine your choice, whether you’re using it on bread or crispbread, or in yoghurt or porridge, for example. Gestampte Muisjes is not the same product as Anijshagel or Anijsstrooisels. Compare the product description and ingredients if the format matters to you.
If wheat or gluten is a concern, always go by the label on the pack you buy. Albert Heijn’s product information for Gestampte Muisjes and Anijshagel, and Joybuy’s information for Anijsstrooisels, all list wheat. If you’re comparing nutritional values, check the sugars per 100 g too.
Start by deciding whether you need an individually wrapped portion or can use a pack. Then choose between crushed muisjes and another anise topping, and finally check the label.

| Ingredients and sugars | Check the label for wheat and gluten, and compare the nutritional values per 100 g with the amount you plan to use. | I want to know which ingredients and nutritional values matter to me before using the product.
