What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Using it with chips Albert Heijn and Jumbo describe uses such as bread, crispbread and yoghurt. Decide whether you actually mean a product to go with chips. If I’m picking up chips, I don’t want to accidentally choose a sweet bread topping when I’m looking for something to go with them. For around 50% of consumers, the occasion they’re buying for matters most.
Mini portion or larger pack Compare the net weight with the number of individual packs. For the De Ruijter variety described, 6 g is a serving size within a 270 g pack. For taking on the go, I want a small amount in its own pack, not just a serving size listed on a larger pack. Packaging format is the top priority for around 25% of consumers.
Flavour and ingredients Read the latest ingredients and allergen information. The variety described contains, among other things, sugar, aniseed and wheat starch. When choosing a sweet aniseed topping, I want to know what’s in it before I pick a pack. Around 25% of consumers give flavour, ingredients and allergens top priority.

Common mistakes

  • Mistaking Gestampte Muisjes for something to go with chips

    You could end up buying a sweet aniseed topping when you actually want a product to go with chips. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list other uses for the De Ruijter variety described.

    Before buying, decide what you want to eat with your takeaway and choose the relevant product category.

  • Confusing a serving size with a mini pack

    The stated 6 g serving isn’t packed separately inside the 270 g pack described.

    Check the net weight and whether the pack actually contains individual portions. For use at home, you can measure out a small amount yourself.

  • Assuming De Ruijter Kleintjes are Gestampte Muisjes

    The Kleintjes variety described by Albert Heijn contains other types of bread topping. So the name doesn’t confirm that it’s a mini version of Gestampte Muisjes.

    Compare the full product name and contents, not just the brand or the word ‘Kleintjes’.

  • Skipping the allergen information

    The De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes described contains wheat starch and is labelled as containing gluten.

    Read the allergen information on the packaging of the product you’re actually buying.
