Flavour and presentation Choose carefully between Gestampte Muisjes, colourful Feest Muisjes and Anijsstrooisels; these are different product variants. When the topping is visible on Dutch rusks or cakes, I want the variant I choose to suit the flavour and presentation of my offering. Around 33% of consumers give this the highest priority.
Ingredients and allergens Read the ingredients, allergens and nutritional information on the pack you buy.

Common purchasing mistakes

  • Mistaking a larger pack for a bulk case

    According to Jumbo, the 330 g De Ruijter Feest Muisjes are a different variant from the 270 g Gestampte Muisjes. A larger individual pack is not the same as the case of 9 × 270 g listed by Kantinewinkel.nl.

    Before ordering, compare the product variant, the number of individual packs and the total weight.

  • Assuming an anise product is gluten-free

    Albert Heijn and Jumbo list wheat starch and the allergens wheat and cereals containing gluten for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes.

    Do not use this variant for a gluten-free option. If you choose an alternative, check the label on the pack you actually buy too.

  • Ordering a case without planning delivery and storage

    Kantinewinkel.nl advises buyers to check the delivery time for the case of 9 × 270 g. The storage advice for Gestampte Muisjes is also to keep them in a dry place.

    Arrange delivery to suit your first serving occasion and make sure you have enough dry storage space before ordering. Check the best-before dates on the packs when they arrive.

  • Choosing by product name alone

    Gestampte Muisjes, Feest Muisjes and Anijsstrooisels do not necessarily have the same ingredients or nutritional values. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends comparing products per 100 g and reading the ingredients list.

    If you choose a different variant, compare the nutritional information per 100 g and check the ingredients and allergens on the label.
