Choose a small serving jar if you want to put out a limited amount of Gestampte Muisjes during a night shift; keep the rest separate, dry and sealed. If you want to transfer the contents into one storage jar, check the seal and test whether the contents fit in your chosen jar: the pack weight of 270 g doesn’t tell you how much space, in millilitres, you’ll need.
A small serving jar lets you set aside an amount of Gestampte Muisjes in advance, without putting the whole supply on the table. Albert Heijn lists a serving size of 6 g on the label as a guide when planning portions.
If the jar is mainly for storage, a secure seal and a dry place to keep it matter more than how it looks on the table. Albert Heijn’s product information says to store Gestampte Muisjes in a dry place.
For a snack table shared with colleagues, it should be clear what’s in the jar. Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for this product, so keep the original packaging or make sure the label information stays with the jar.
Choose this if: you only want to put out enough for one break or a shared table.
Bear in mind: you’ll need to refill it, and store the rest of the pack separately in a dry, sealed container.
Choose this if: you mainly want to keep the opened pack in one place.
Bear in mind: a large jar won’t automatically make it easy to serve small amounts, and you’ll need to check whether the pack fits inside.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Portions and serving | Check whether the opening makes it easy to scoop or sprinkle in a controlled way. Albert Heijn lists 6 g as the serving size on the label. | If you want to take a small amount during a short break, a manageable serving jar is more useful than a large jar on the table. For around 45% of consumers, portion control comes first. |
| Keeping it dry | Check that the jar is intended for food and can be sealed securely after use. | If the opened pack is mainly for storage, you won’t want to leave the contents exposed unnecessarily. For around 33% of consumers, keeping food dry is the top priority. |
| Label information | Read the current packaging and keep the product information clearly identifiable alongside the jar; Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten. | At a shared snack table, you’ll want to be able to check which ingredients and allergens are in the contents before serving. Around 22% of consumers prioritise this check. |
The weight of Gestampte Muisjes doesn’t tell you how much space the contents will take up in a glass jar. So you can’t tell from the stated jar capacity alone whether the whole pack will fit.
Test your chosen jar with one pack before buying several for the same set-up.
A glass finish doesn’t tell you whether a jar is intended for direct contact with food.
Check with the seller or manufacturer whether the jar is suitable for storing or serving food.
An open jar can be handy when serving, but it doesn’t meet Albert Heijn’s guidance to store Gestampte Muisjes in a dry place.
Put out only the amount you plan to serve, and keep the rest dry and sealed.
Once you’ve transferred the contents, the jar itself won’t show that Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for this product.
Keep the packaging or make sure the product information stays available with the jar, especially if colleagues will be eating from it.
De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes is the product this choice between a serving jar and a storage jar is based on.
These glass jars are options if you’re looking for a sealed storage jar. Their stated capacity doesn’t confirm that a 270 g pack of Gestampte Muisjes will fit in full; check this with your chosen jar.

A set for anyone who wants to divide their supplies between two sealed jars. The product name states that each jar holds 700 ml and has a clip-top lid with a silicone seal; the jars are not dishwasher-safe. Before use, check that the opening is convenient for scooping or sprinkling the amount you need.

A single jar for anyone who wants to keep their supplies together. The product name describes a clear 1.7 l glass jar with a stainless steel lid. Check that the opening suits the way you want to take out small amounts.
Choose a jar that the seller or manufacturer says is suitable for contact with food. Don’t rely on its glass appearance alone if you want to store or serve Gestampte Muisjes directly from the jar.
Store Gestampte Muisjes in a dry place, as advised by Albert Heijn. If you transfer the contents, use a clean, dry jar that you can seal again, and keep the original packaging with the product information available.
No: Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes. Before serving, also check the label on the pack you’re actually using.
