Common mistakes

  • Confusing a squeeze bottle with a shaker

    Jumbo describes De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes as crushed, sugared aniseed. The squeeze bottle discussed here is sold as a sauce bottle; its 250 ml capacity says nothing about whether it’s suitable for dry muisjes.

    Decide which type of product you want to serve. For dry Gestampte Muisjes, sprinkling is more practical than dispensing them from a standard squeeze bottle.

  • Skipping the label because it’s a sweet spread

    Jumbo lists wheat starch as an ingredient in De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes 270 g, and cereals containing gluten and wheat as allergens.

    Before using the product, check the ingredients and allergen information on the packaging you buy.

  • Reusing any old bottle for food

    A bottle that comes into contact with food is a food contact material. The RIVM includes items that come into contact with food in this category.

    For liquid food, choose a bottle specifically intended for food contact and follow its use and cleaning instructions.

Frequently asked questions

Can I put Gestampte Muisjes in a standard squeeze bottle?

A standard squeeze bottle isn’t a well-founded dispensing solution for dry Gestampte Muisjes. Sprinkle the product over bread, crispbread or another base of your choice; only use a squeeze bottle for a separate product it’s designed for.

Does a larger squeeze bottle make it easier to serve dry muisjes?

The bottle’s capacity doesn’t change the fact that Gestampte Muisjes are a dry product for sprinkling. Only choose a bottle size if you want to dispense a separate, suitable product and know what the supplier says the bottle is designed for.

What should I look for when buying a reusable squeeze bottle for food?

Choose a bottle specifically intended for contact with food, and check its terms of use for the contents you want to dispense. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority and the RIVM describe packaging and items that come into contact with food as food contact materials.

Do De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes contain wheat or gluten?

Jumbo lists wheat starch as an ingredient in De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes 270 g, and cereals containing gluten and wheat as allergens. When buying, read the current label on the pack you intend to use.
