Organisers of an informal work meeting
You want to offer a sweet aniseed topping on rusks, bread, yoghurt or mini cakes that you’ve prepared yourself. You’ll also need something to put it on and a way to serve the sprinkles.
Who is this suitable for?
Teams with different dietary requirements
You don’t want the only treat on offer to be unsuitable for some colleagues. Albert Heijn and Jumbo’s product information lists wheat and gluten-containing cereals for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes. If needed, have a separate alternative ready.
Organisers who want to serve snacks quickly
You want to be able to put out a snack for each person without needing serving dishes or preparation. According to Albert Heijn and Jumbo, De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes is a sprinkle product in a 270 g pack, not an individually wrapped bar.
What should you look for when choosing?
First decide whether you want to prepare snacks yourself or hand out something to each person straight away. Then check that the flavour and ingredients are suitable for your group.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Easy to serve | Think about what you can serve the sprinkles on and what serving items you can have ready. For the 270 g pack, Albert Heijn lists a serving size of 6 g. | If I want to hand something out during a meeting without much preparation, loose sprinkles don’t fit my plan. Around 45% of consumers put ease of serving first. |
| Ingredients and preferences | Check the label for wheat and gluten-containing cereals; also compare the nutritional information and any alternatives. | I want colleagues with different dietary requirements to have an option that suits them. This is the most important factor for around 33% of consumers. |
| Aniseed flavour and presentation | Consider whether a sweet aniseed topping will suit the group and the snacks you plan to serve. | For an informal meeting, I specifically want to offer something with the distinctive aniseed flavour of Gestampte Muisjes. This is the main reason for choosing them for around 22% of consumers. |
Common mistakes
-
Treating Gestampte Muisjes as a ready-to-eat bar
According to Albert Heijn and Jumbo, De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes is a 270 g pack of sprinkles. Without something to put them on and a plan for serving them, you can’t hand them out as individual meeting snacks.
Prepare rusks and serving items in advance, for example, or choose a snack you can hand out to each person straight away.
-
Offering only Gestampte Muisjes when people have different dietary requirements
Albert Heijn and Jumbo’s product information lists wheat and gluten-containing cereals. This means they aren’t a suitable sole option for colleagues who avoid these ingredients.
Check the label on the pack you buy and, if needed, put out a clearly labelled alternative.
-
Assuming a small portion means a less sweet option
Albert Heijn and Jumbo list 79 g of sugars per 100 g for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes. Using a small amount as a topping doesn’t change the product’s composition.
If you expect people to have different preferences, offer a less sweet option alongside the topping.
-
Assuming Pink Muisjes and Gestampte Muisjes are the same variety
De Ruijter Pink Muisjes, 330 g, on Joybuy have a different product name, shape and pack size from De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes, 270 g.
When ordering, compare the full product name, shape and pack size; don’t rely on the brand name alone.
