Who is this relevant to?

Festival and catering buyers

You need to be able to replenish supplies at several serving times. The box of nine individual 270 g packs listed by Kantinewinkel lets you open a fresh pack each time.

Party bakers and dessert stations

You’re looking for a topping for items such as rusks or cakes, and want to know whether you need the crushed version or coloured Muisjes for presentation.

Organisers serving loose toppings

You’ll need to take account of the wheat and gluten-containing cereals listed by Jumbo for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority requires you to provide customers with allergen information when serving food that is not pre-packed.

What should you look for?

Work out how many packs you need and whether the crushed version is important for your recipe. Before serving the product loose, check the latest allergen information on the packaging.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters to
Stock for replenishing Compare the quantity you need with the box of 9 × 270 g listed by Kantinewinkel, and confirm the delivery time for your event. If I’m replenishing at several points, I want to be able to plan for enough individual packs; around 36% of consumers consider having stock to replenish with their top priority.
Product type Check that the name includes Gestampte Muisjes. The 330 g Feest Muisjes listed by Jumbo are a different product type. If I need the crushed version for a topping, coloured Muisjes won’t do; around 28% of consumers prioritise the product type.
Allergens when serving loose toppings Check the latest packaging for wheat and gluten-containing cereals. When serving food that is not pre-packed, provide customers with allergen information as required by the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority. At a self-serve topping bar, I want to be able to tell guests which allergens are present; around 36% of consumers consider this their top priority when serving food.

Common mistakes

  • Mistaking coloured Muisjes for crushed Muisjes

    Jumbo lists Feest Muisjes, as well as blue and white Muisjes, as other varieties. They are not a direct substitute when you need the crushed version for a dish.

    Check the full product name before ordering packs for your topping.

  • Ordering a bulk pack without agreeing a delivery date

    Kantinewinkel lists a box of De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes containing 9 × 270 g packs, but asks customers to get in touch about delivery times.

    Work out how many boxes you need in good time and confirm delivery before your event.

  • Forgetting about wheat and gluten at a self-serve topping bar

    Jumbo lists wheat and gluten-containing cereals for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says you must give customers information about allergens present in food that is not pre-packed.

    Keep the current packaging or product information available at the serving point so you can give customers accurate allergen information.
