For one lunchbox or a short trip, a 270 g pack of De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes is usually more convenient than a box of 9 × 270 g. The box contains 2.43 kg in total and is best suited to a specific plan to distribute or store the individual packs. Schiphol allows food in hand luggage, but check the rules for your destination before you travel too. If you avoid wheat or gluten, read the pack label.
Want to take a little dry topping for bread, crispbread or yoghurt without carrying a large box? According to Albert Heijn and Jumbo, the standard pack of De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes contains 270 g. Check the rules separately for any spreadable toppings you’re taking with you.
Need several individual packs for a group or for different lunchboxes? Kantinewinkel lists a box of 9 × 270 g. Before buying, decide where you’ll distribute or store the packs: together, they contain 2.43 kg of product.
The label needs particular attention for this product. Albert Heijn lists wheat starch as an ingredient in De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes, while Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten as allergens. Don’t choose this version if you need to avoid wheat or gluten, and check the packaging you actually buy.
First decide whether you want one pack for your journey or several individual packs to distribute. Then check what you’re taking in your hand luggage and whether the ingredients are suitable for everyone who’ll be eating it.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Lunch in your hand luggage | Check whether your topping is dry or spreadable. Schiphol allows food in hand luggage, but spreadable foods are subject to the liquids rules. | For lunch on the go, I want to take dry sprinkles without confusing them with the rules for spreadable toppings. For around 50% of consumers, hand luggage requirements would be the main concern. |
| Distributing packs | Compare one 270 g pack from Albert Heijn or Jumbo with the box of 9 × 270 g listed by Kantinewinkel. Consider whether you’ll actually use all nine packs and have somewhere to take or store them. | If I’m packing for a group, I want to hand out individual packs rather than share one. For around 30% of consumers, distributing the packs would be the priority. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the label on the pack you buy and check for wheat and cereals containing gluten. Also check the nutritional information per 100 g and per serving if the amount of sprinkles in your lunchbox matters. | When I prepare food for myself or others, I want to know what ingredients and allergens it contains. For around 20% of consumers, checking the label would be the most important factor. |
The box listed by Kantinewinkel contains nine 270 g packs: 2.43 kg of product in total. For one lunchbox, that’s considerably more to carry than a single pack.
Decide in advance how many individual packs you want to hand out or store; don’t choose based on the word “multipack” alone.

De Ruijter Pink Muisjes, 330 g, has a different product name and weight from Gestampte Muisjes, 270 g. Having the same brand or the word Muisjes in the name doesn’t make them identical products.
