Who are Gestampte Muisjes right for?

Shoppers planning their shopping route

You want to recognise the 270 g pack of De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes and check whether you can pick it up with the rest of your shopping. Albert Heijn and Jumbo both list this pack.

Aniseed sprinkle fans

You’re after a fine texture and sweet aniseed flavour for bread, crispbread, yoghurt or cake, rather than just any old treat for St Nicholas Eve.

Shoppers checking the label for guests

You want to know which ingredients and allergens are listed on the pack, and how much sugar the product contains, before serving it. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list wheat and gluten for this pack.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether sweet aniseed sprinkles will work with your menu. Then check the pack and which retailer fits in with your shopping route.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Pack and retailer Check the product name and 270 g pack size. See whether your chosen retailer stocks the pack. If I’m already shopping for the evening, I want to pick up the right pack without making a separate trip. Around 40% of consumers prioritise their shopping route and product availability.
Flavour and use Choose crushed aniseed if you’re looking for a sweet topping for bread, crispbread, yoghurt or cake. If I’m topping crispbread or cake, I want aniseed flavour specifically, not a savoury snack or another kind of sprinkle. Around 30% of consumers prioritise how they plan to use the product.
Label and ingredients Check the ingredients, allergens and nutritional information on the pack. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list wheat, gluten and 79 g of sugars per 100 g. When I’m serving something to several guests, I want to check first that it suits them. For around 30% of consumers, checking the label is the most important factor.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming Gestampte Muisjes are an own-brand or frozen product

    The pack in question is a branded De Ruijter product that should be stored in a dry place. Comparing it with frozen products means you’re not comparing like with like.

    Check the product type and pack size before choosing an alternative: crushed muisjes are different from whole muisjes.

  • Relying only on online allergen information

    Albert Heijn and Jumbo list wheat and gluten for this product. Product information can change, so a page you looked at previously isn’t enough to check the pack you’re serving.

    Read the label on the pack you’ve actually bought before offering the product to your guests.

  • Thinking of the sprinkles as a neutral party snack

    Gestampte Muisjes are sweet aniseed topping. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list 79 g of sugars per 100 g for the 270 g pack.

    Decide in advance how you plan to use them, and offer something else for guests who don’t want aniseed sprinkles.
