Don’t choose De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes if you’re looking for an individually wrapped, ready-to-eat snack for a single night shift: Jumbo lists it as a 270 g pack of sprinkles. If you’re taking bread, crispbread or yoghurt with you, you can measure out a small amount to use as a topping. Check the nutritional information before making your choice, and if you have an allergy, check the label on the pack you buy.
Who is it suitable for?
Night-shift workers looking for a ready-to-eat snack
If you want something you can eat without any preparation, a 270 g pack of sprinkles won’t meet that need. Jumbo lists De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes as a topping, not as an individually wrapped bar.
Night-shift workers who want to measure out a topping
If you’re already taking bread, crispbread or yoghurt with you and want to add aniseed flavour, you can measure out a small amount of Gestampte Muisjes in advance. It’s an addition to the food you’re taking with you, not a snack on its own.
Shoppers who need to check allergens
Jumbo lists wheat in this product; Foodstore Andaluz also mentions milk. If you need to avoid wheat, gluten or milk, check the allergen information on the pack you buy before using it.
What should you consider when choosing?
First decide whether you need a ready-to-eat snack during your night shift or whether you’re already taking something with you that you can use as a base for a topping. Then consider how much you want to measure out and check the label.

Common mistakes
-
Mistaking sprinkles for a snack bar
According to Jumbo, De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes is sold in a 270 g pack. So the pack isn’t an individually wrapped snack for a single shift.
Choose this product only if you want to take a topping with you and have something to put it on. If you want to eat straight from the packaging, look for a different type of product.
-
Taking only a sweet topping with you
Jumbo lists 4.7 g of sugars per 6 g portion of Gestampte Muisjes. As a topping, it won’t replace the food you’ve planned for your shift.
Decide in advance how much you want to use as a topping and what else you’ll take with you. Albert Heijn Leefstijl recommends combining protein and slow-release carbohydrates, among other things, when eating during a night shift.
-
Relying on a single web page if you have an allergy
Jumbo lists wheat, while Foodstore Andaluz also mentions milk for the same pack size. This difference matters if you need to avoid either of these ingredients.
Read the allergen information on the pack you buy. Don’t use the product if the information isn’t clear enough for your allergy.
