Who is this a relevant choice for?

Aniseed fans sharing a coffee

If you’d like to serve bread or crispbread topped with Gestampte Muisjes at afternoon coffee, one jar can be used over several occasions. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes in a 270 g jar.

People planning portions and supplies

If you want to share sprinkles between people or locations, it’s important to distinguish between a shared jar and individually sealed portions. Check the packaging itself if you need individual portions; a 270 g listing only describes the total contents of the jar.

Shoppers checking sugar or allergens

If you follow a particular eating plan or need to avoid wheat or gluten, the nutritional information and current label are what matter. Jumbo lists 79 g of sugars per 100 g for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes; Albert Heijn lists wheat and cereals containing gluten as allergens.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, decide whether you’re after the specific flavour and texture of Gestampte Muisjes or simply want portions that are easy to share. Then check the packaging and the sugar and allergen information for the product you actually plan to buy.

What to consider What to check when buying Who should consider this?
Aniseed flavour Choose between crushed, sugared aniseed and a different aniseed sprinkle, such as Anijs Hagel. I want the particular flavour and texture of Gestampte Muisjes on bread or crispbread with my coffee. For around 29% of consumers, this specific choice comes first.
Sugars Compare sugars per 100 g and per portion: Jumbo lists 79 g per 100 g for Gestampte Muisjes, and 4.7 g per 6 g reference portion. If I’m mindful of what I eat, I want to know how much sugar is in a portion. Around 36% of consumers give this the highest priority.
Packaging format Check whether the product is one jar or individually sealed portions; Albert Heijn and Jumbo list a 270 g jar of Gestampte Muisjes. If I want to give the sprinkles to different people, individual portions are more useful than a shared jar. Packaging is the main concern for around 21% of consumers.
Wheat and gluten Read the ingredients and allergens on the pack you buy; Albert Heijn lists wheat and cereals containing gluten. If a guest needs to avoid wheat or gluten, I want to check the allergen information before serving. This check matters most to around 14% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Mistaking a jar for a multipack

    You can use a 270 g jar on different occasions, but that doesn’t mean it contains individually wrapped portions. The distinction matters if you want to give some to guests or keep portions in different places.

    Read the packaging details and check that the portions are actually sealed individually.

  • Choosing based on aniseed flavour alone

    For De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes, Jumbo lists 79 g of sugars per 100 g; Albert Heijn lists wheat and cereals containing gluten. This information matters if someone follows a particular eating plan or needs to avoid allergens.

    Before serving, read the nutritional information, ingredients and allergens on the pack you’ve bought.

  • Treating Anijs Hagel as the same product

    According to Jumbo, De Ruijter Anijs Hagel is a different type of aniseed sprinkle. Jumbo lists 91 g of sugars per 100 g for this product, compared with 79 g per 100 g for Gestampte Muisjes. A similar flavour doesn’t mean the nutritional values are the same.

    Compare both products per 100 g, and consider the texture and packaging format you want too.

  • Leaving the sprinkles out all afternoon

    According to Ivoren Kruis, frequently eating foods containing sugar and starch is associated with a higher risk of tooth decay. So even with a small amount of sprinkles, it’s worth considering how often you eat them.

    Serve the topping at a set coffee break, then put it away.
