Common mistakes

  • Mistaking Gestampte Muisjes for a snack bar

    Albert Heijn and Jumbo describe loose, crushed, sugared aniseed in a 270 g pack. If you want to have it on bread or in yoghurt, you’ll need those ingredients too.

    If you want something you can take with you without any preparation, look specifically for an individually wrapped snack rather than this topping.

  • Looking only at the value per serving

    Jumbo lists 4.7 g of sugars per stated 6 g serving, compared with 79 g of sugars per 100 g. A serving value alone isn’t a consistent basis for comparison when products use different serving sizes.

    Compare the nutritional values of similar products per 100 g, as recommended by the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, then decide how much you’ll use.

  • Overlooking wheat and gluten

    Albert Heijn and Jumbo’s product information lists wheat and gluten-containing cereals as allergens.

    If you need to avoid wheat or gluten, check the allergen information on the current packaging before using the product.
