If you’re looking specifically for crushed muisjes for tea time, you could choose De Ruijter’s 270 g pack and measure out small amounts yourself. The 6 g portion listed by Albert Heijn isn’t a separate mini pack. If individual small packs are essential for you, check the exact product name and packaging before you buy.
Who is this relevant for?
Tea-time planners who want to portion it themselves
If you only want a light sprinkling on a rusk or a small cake, the type of packaging matters. Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes as a 270 g pack, with a portion size of 6 g. You’ll need to measure out each portion yourself.
Fans of aniseed sprinkles
If you’re looking for a topping for rusks, yoghurt or cupcakes, decide whether you specifically want crushed muisjes. De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes contains aniseed; according to Albert Heijn, De Ruijter Anijshagel is a different type of aniseed-flavoured sprinkle.
Shoppers who check the ingredients
If the ingredients affect your choice, read the label on the pack you’re buying. Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes.
What should you look for when choosing?
First, decide whether you want crushed muisjes specifically or whether another aniseed sprinkle will do. Then check the packaging and ingredients of the variety you’ve chosen.

Common buying mistakes
-
Mistaking a small portion for a mini pack
Albert Heijn lists a 6 g portion for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes, but the pack contains 270 g. So the portion size doesn’t mean the product comes in individual sachets.
Check the net weight and type of packaging. With this pack, you’ll need to measure out small amounts yourself.
-
Assuming Anijshagel is the same product
According to Albert Heijn, Anijshagel is aniseed-flavoured sugar sprinkles. It’s a different type of sprinkle from Gestampte Muisjes, even though you can use both as toppings.
Choose the product type you want and check the name on the pack, not just the word ‘aniseed’.
-
Assuming general nutrition information applies to every pack
The general nutritional values for muisjes published by the Netherlands Nutrition Centre may not match the nutritional information for the variety you’re buying.
For ingredients, allergens and nutritional values per portion, use the current label on that pack.
