Who is this choice relevant to?

Student with limited cupboard space

Wants to store a small supply of De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes in a sealed container, without adding a large dispenser to a small kitchen.

Someone who wants to sprinkle with precision

Wants to portion the dry bread topping onto bread or crispbread, so the main thing to check is the opening the sprinkles actually come out of.

Someone who needs product label information

Wants to be able to check the ingredients and allergens if the sprinkles are transferred to another jar. Albert Heijn notes that product information can change, while the Netherlands Nutrition Centre stresses the importance of checking the label if you have a food allergy.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether you want to sprinkle the sprinkles, portion them precisely or simply store them compactly. Then check the outlet or opening, whether the container is suitable for food contact, and how you’ll keep the product information with your supply.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters to
Compact storage Choose a sealable container that suits how you use the sprinkles, and check that it’s intended for food contact. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes in a 270 g pack. If I’m short on cupboard space and only use the sprinkles occasionally, I don’t want to transfer more than I need to. Around 40% of consumers prioritise compact storage.
Portioning dry sprinkles Check that the outlet is suitable for dry sprinkles; a wide filling opening on its own isn’t enough. Test a potential squeeze bottle first with a small amount. When topping bread or crispbread, I want to be able to spread the sprinkles precisely, without relying on a sauce nozzle that may not let them through. For around 40% of consumers, precise portioning of dry sprinkles matters most.
Keeping the label information Read the label on the pack you buy. If you transfer the sprinkles, keep the ingredient, allergen and best-before information with the product. If I need label information, I want to be able to check it even after transferring the sprinkles. This is the main concern for around 20% of consumers.

Common mistakes when choosing

  • Choosing a sauce squeeze bottle because it has a wide filling opening

    A bottle may be easy to fill, but its nozzle could be too narrow for dry sprinkles. The squeeze bottles described are sold for uses such as sauces, oil and dressings.

    Check the intended use and the outlet separately. If in doubt, choose a shaker jar or wide-mouth jar rather than judging by the filling opening.

  • Choosing a large bottle for occasional use

    An extra-large container takes up space when you may only want to use a small amount at a time. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list a 270 g pack of De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes.

    Choose a container to suit how much you use and the cupboard space you have; you can leave the rest in its original packaging.

  • Throwing away the packaging after transferring the sprinkles

    You could easily lose the information about ingredients, allergens and the best-before date. Albert Heijn warns that product information can change.

    Read the current label and keep the packaging, or take a clear photo of the information before transferring the sprinkles.
