Which bun might suit you?

Fans of a classic combination

You want a soft currant bun with raisins and currants to go with savoury split pea soup, without a coarser texture influencing your choice.

Shoppers comparing texture and fibre

You’re looking for a bun with a different bite and comparing the flour used and fibre per 100 g, rather than relying on the word ‘muesli’ in the name.

Shoppers who need to check allergens

You read the ingredients and allergen information before buying. The currant and muesli buns described here contain wheat and milk; PLUS Muesli-notenbollen also contain almonds and hazelnuts and may contain sesame.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide which combination you want with your split pea soup. Then compare the ingredients, nutritional information and allergens of the buns that fit the bill.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters to
Fibre and texture Compare the fibre per 100 g and check whether wholemeal flour is listed in the ingredients. With split pea soup, I want a bun with more texture and pay attention to the fibre content. This is the main priority for around 46% of consumers.
A soft, sweet bun If you’re after the classic option, check that it’s a white wheat bun with raisins and currants. If I want a soft, sweet bun with split pea soup, I prioritise that combination over a coarser texture. This preference matters most to around 27% of consumers.
Ingredients and allergens Read the current information on allergens present and possible cross-contamination; if relevant, compare the salt per 100 g too. If food allergies affect my choice of bun, I want to know what’s in it and what might have got into it. Around 27% of consumers prioritise checking the label.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming ‘muesli’ means the bun contains seeds

    PLUS lists ingredients including wholemeal wheat flour, oats, almonds and hazelnuts in its Muesli-notenbollen. The product name doesn’t tell you whether the seeds or kernels you’re looking for are in the bun.

    Look for the seeds or kernels you want in the ingredients list; don’t rely on the name or a picture on the packaging alone.

  • Choosing by fibre content without checking allergens

    PLUS Muesli-notenbollen list nuts, milk, gluten and sulphites, and may contain sesame. A higher fibre content doesn’t make this kind of bun suitable for everyone.

    Check the allergen information on the packaging of the product you’re buying first, then compare the fibre per 100 g.

  • Assuming a product page reflects current availability

    Albert Heijn states that the currant buns described are no longer in its range. A product page alone therefore doesn’t confirm that you can buy the bun.

    Check what’s currently available before heading out, and read the packaging of the product that’s actually in stock.

  • Comparing fibre content alone

    Albert Heijn’s product information lists 0.9 g of salt per 100 g for the currant buns described; Jumbo lists 1.02 g per 100 g for Jumbo Rozijnen Krentenbollen. Nutritional values can vary even between buns with similar names.

    Compare the nutritional values per 100 g that matter to you on the current label, including fibre and salt.

Brands to consider

Albert Heijn

Albert Heijn has separate product pages for currant buns and muesli buns.

  • The page for AH Rozijnen krentenbollen lists the ingredients, allergens and 2.9 g of fibre per 100 g.
  • Albert Heijn says these currant buns are no longer in its range. Check current availability and the packaging before buying.

Jumbo

Jumbo describes its Rozijnen Krentenbollen as white wheat buns with raisins and currants.

  • Jumbo lists 2.8 g of fibre and 1.02 g of salt per 100 g for this product.
  • The product information doesn’t confirm that these buns contain seeds; also check the information on wheat, milk and possible allergens.

PLUS

PLUS offers both classic currant buns and Muesli-notenbollen. They’re different products to compare when making your choice.

  • PLUS lists 3.3 g of fibre per 100 g for its classic currant buns and 5.6 g per 100 g for its Muesli-notenbollen made with wholemeal wheat flour.
  • Muesli-notenbollen contain almonds and hazelnuts; the ingredients described don’t confirm that seeds are a main ingredient.

ALDI

ALDI describes its raisin and currant buns as soft wheat buns with raisins and currants.

  • The product description makes clear that this is a classic raisin and currant bun.
  • The listing for ALDI Mueslibollen was for an offer running from 28 September to 4 October 2026. Check current availability separately.

Lidl

Lidl describes its currant buns as soft buns with currants, sold in packs of six.

  • Lidl lists this product as an in-store item.
  • Check the packaging in store if you want to compare the ingredients, nutritional values or whether the buns contain seeds.

Bolletje

Here, Bolletje is a place to look for other products with seeds, such as seed crackers, rather than a confirmed seeded currant bun.

  • The range overview lists seed crackers as a separate product category.
  • Don’t use that category as a basis for attributing ingredients or nutritional values to currant buns.

Frequently asked questions

Does ‘muesli’ mean a bun contains seeds?

No, the name alone doesn’t confirm that it contains seeds. PLUS lists wholemeal wheat flour, oats and nuts in its Muesli-notenbollen; if seeds or kernels matter to your choice, look for them specifically in the ingredients list.

Which allergens should I check in a muesli bun?

Read the full allergen information for the bun you’re buying, including warnings about possible cross-contamination. PLUS lists almonds, hazelnuts, milk, gluten and sulphites among the ingredients in its Muesli-notenbollen; the product may also contain sesame.

How can I tell whether a currant bun contains iodised salt?

Check the ingredients list for the specific product. Albert Heijn lists iodised salt in the currant buns described, but don’t assume that every bun has the same ingredients just because it’s the same type of product.

Can I freeze currant buns for a later bowl of soup?

Follow the storage instructions on the packaging of the currant buns you buy. Albert Heijn and PLUS say that their products described here can be frozen at home on the day of purchase and should be used within one month; don’t assume the same instructions apply to other products.
