Which pack is right for you?

Caterers serving guests at several times

If you need to top up during different breaks or at several stations, individual packs in an outer case are worth considering. Kantinewinkel lists an outer case of 9 × 270 g packs of De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes; you can decide how much you need for each service period.

Organisers of a small topping station

For one limited serving period, you could start with an individual 270 g pack. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list this pack of De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes; test how much you use before buying enough for several service periods.

Event teams with a colour scheme

If colour matters more than the crushed form, a separate Muisjes variant may be a better fit. For example, Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter Blauwe en witte muisjes in a 330 g pack. Check that this different product format works with your presentation.

What should you consider when choosing?

For conference catering, first decide how many separate service periods you’re planning. Then check the allergen information, the presentation you want and the delivery date.

Consideration What to check before buying Who it matters to
Stock and replenishment Check how many individual packs are included and arrange dry storage for your stock. For several breaks, I want to be able to top up without opening all the stock at once; this is the top priority for around 36% of consumers.
Allergen information Read the current label and make information about the allergens present available at the serving point, in line with the requirements of the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority. If I’m serving Muisjes unpackaged, I want guests to be able to get allergen information at the topping station; this is the top priority for around 29% of consumers.
Format and colour Choose between Gestampte Muisjes and a separate colour variant; confirm your chosen variant before finalising the presentation. For a themed buffet, I want to know whether both the colour and product format fit the plan; presentation is the main concern for around 21% of consumers.
Ordering and delivery Confirm the quantity you need and the delivery date with your chosen supplier. If the stock needs to arrive before the conference, I want to know in good time when my order will arrive; reliable delivery matters most to around 14% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming an outer case is one large sharing bag

    The outer case listed by Kantinewinkel contains nine individual 270 g packs. You’re buying stock that you can open in stages, not a large pack for immediate self-service.

    Decide separately whether you’ll use a bowl or dispenser on site, and how much you want to serve at a time.

  • Keeping allergen information with the stock only

    Albert Heijn lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, when food is offered unpackaged, consumers must be able to get information about the allergens present where the food is being served.

    Check the label on the pack you receive and make information available at every serving point. You can provide it verbally only if you meet the requirements of the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority.

  • Choosing a colour variant without confirming it

    Coloured Muisjes are a different product from Gestampte Muisjes. If colour is central to your event concept, a different variant could change the look you had in mind.

    Confirm the specific variant with your supplier before finalising your menu or buffet signs.
