Hotel buyers looking to offer shared breakfast toppings
A consumer pack can be practical for a shared breakfast or pantry. Decide in advance who will use the box and how the sprinkles will be served.
Who is this relevant to?
Buyers who need sealed portions for guests
For serving in guest rooms or lunchboxes, the difference between a serving-size indication and individually wrapped portions is crucial. Check that the product you choose really does contain separate portions.
Hospitality providers responsible for allergen information
If you serve De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes to guests, you should be able to check the ingredients on the pack you receive. Albert Heijn and Jumbo’s product information lists wheat; Koninklijke Horeca Nederland stresses the importance of providing guests with allergen information.
What should you look for when buying?
First, decide whether guests will share from one box or each receive a sealed portion. Then check the label and make sure the intended use is consistent with the product information.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Packaging and portions | Check whether the pack is one shared box or contains individually sealed portions. Albert Heijn lists 45 portions of 6 g in the 270 g box; this is a serving-size indication, not a count of individual packs. | If you want to give every guest their own sealed portion, you need to be sure of the serving format. An estimated 42% of consumers rank this as their primary need. |
| Allergen information | Read the ingredients and allergen information on the pack you receive, and decide how guests will access it. Albert Heijn and Jumbo’s product information lists wheat. | When serving guests, I want to be able to answer their questions about ingredients; an estimated 33% of consumers rank this information need as their top priority. |
| Intended use | Compare the listed uses with your serving plan: the product information mentions bread, crispbread, yoghurt and decoration. Assess any intended use in coffee separately. | If I serve the sprinkles with coffee, I want to know whether my serving method suits the product. This question about use matters most to an estimated 25% of consumers. |
Common buying mistakes
-
Mistaking a serving-size indication for individual hotel portions
Albert Heijn lists 45 portions of 6 g in the 270 g box of De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes. This tells you how many portions can be measured out of the box, not that they’re individually wrapped.
Ask about the packaging type when ordering if every guest needs a sealed portion.
-
Assuming De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes are intended for coffee
Albert Heijn and Jumbo describe uses such as a topping for bread, crispbread or yoghurt, and as decoration. These uses don’t tell you how the product will taste or behave in coffee.
If you still want to serve it with coffee, try that serving method yourself first and don’t present it as a listed use for the product.
-
Not checking allergens again after your first order
The product information lists wheat, but the ingredients on the pack you actually receive should be the basis for the information you give guests.
Check the label on arrival and make sure staff can access the current allergen information.
A relevant brand to consider
De Ruijter
Albert Heijn and Jumbo list De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes in a 270 g consumer pack. Albert Heijn also lists Anijshagel in a 300 g pack; Anijshagel is a different product from Gestampte Muisjes.
- The product information lists uses on bread and crispbread, in yoghurt and as decoration.
- The serving-size indication for the 270 g box doesn’t confirm that it contains individually wrapped portions for guests. Also check the current label: the listed De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes contain wheat.
