Hosts looking to serve aniseed sprinkles
You want to offer something with an aniseed flavour to enjoy with coffee, on crispbread, bread, yoghurt or cakes. Jumbo suggests these uses for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes.
Who is this relevant for?
Anyone looking for an individual bar
You want something guests can eat straight away or take with them, without serving a topping or a base product. A jar or pack of sprinkles won’t meet that need.
Guests who check for allergens
The ingredients list is key for you: Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten in De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes.
What should you consider when choosing?
First decide whether you want to hand out a bar that’s ready to eat, or whether you can serve aniseed sprinkles on something else. If sprinkles are suitable, De Ruijter Anijshagel is another option for an aniseed topping according to Jumbo, but it isn’t an individual bar.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Individual bar or sprinkles | Check whether the product is explicitly sold as an individually wrapped, ready-to-eat bar. Jumbo describes the 270 g pack of De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes as a topping. | I want to be able to give every guest something without first preparing crispbread or cakes; for around 40% of consumers, a ready-to-eat bar is the top priority. |
| Serving with coffee | Consider whether you want to serve crispbread, bread, yoghurt or cakes that the sprinkles will go well with. | If I’m putting something on the table anyway, I want to be able to add an aniseed flavour without choosing a separate snack for everyone. Ease of serving comes first for around 40% of consumers. |
| Wheat and gluten | Read the current ingredients and allergen information on the pack; Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for Gestampte Muisjes. | I want to know whether I can serve this product to my guests if wheat or gluten is a concern for them. For around 20% of consumers, this check is the top priority. |
Common mistakes
-
Mistaking sprinkles for an individual bar
With Gestampte Muisjes as a topping, you’ll also need something to serve it on; you can’t hand it out as an individually wrapped bar.
Choose this product when a topping suits your coffee occasion. If you need a ready-to-eat bar, look for a product that is explicitly sold as a bar.
-
Overlooking the allergen information
Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten in De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes. This could determine whether you can serve it to a guest.
Before serving, read the current ingredients and allergen information on the pack, and only choose an alternative whose information meets your guest’s needs.
-
Assuming a small serving means less sugar
Sugar is listed near the top of the ingredients list shown by Jumbo for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes. The amount you use depends on how much you sprinkle.
Compare the nutritional information per 100 g and, if provided, per serving if the amount of sugar matters to your choice.
