What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Packaging and portion De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes is a 270 g sprinkle topping. Check whether you’d rather portion it yourself or have one individually wrapped bar. I want to take something ready to eat with my coffee, without having to sprinkle a topping on something else first. For around 40% of consumers, an individual portion comes first.
Anise flavour and how to use it Compare Gestampte Muisjes as a sprinkle topping with Anijshagel if you’re considering a different anise topping; neither is a snack bar. If I’m getting crispbread, bread or yoghurt ready at home, I mainly want to decide for myself how much anise topping to use. Around 40% of consumers give this combination of flavour and control over portion size top priority.
Ingredients and nutritional information Check the current label for wheat and gluten, and compare the sugars per 100 g with the portion you use.

Common mistakes

  • Mistaking Gestampte Muisjes for a snack bar

    The De Ruijter pack contains 270 g of sprinkle topping. For a coffee break, you’ll need to choose an amount yourself and add it to something such as crispbread, bread or yoghurt.

    If a single ready-to-eat portion is your main requirement, look for an individually wrapped snack bar rather than Gestampte Muisjes.

  • Assuming allergens from the product name

    Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes. The name alone doesn’t tell you everything you need to know when choosing ingredients.

    Check the pack label before use if wheat or gluten is relevant to your choice.

  • Assuming a sprinkle topping is a fixed portion

    With a sprinkle topping, you decide how much to use. So your portion may differ from the one the nutritional information is based on.

    Compare the amount you actually use with the portion size and the values per 100 g on the pack.
