Who is this for?

Hosts welcoming visitors to meet a new baby, or planning a baking session

You’re looking for sweet anise sprinkles for rusks, bread, yoghurt or baked goods, and want to work out how much you’ll need for the occasion.

Stocking up for several planned occasions

You’re considering a case of 9 x 270 g for several gatherings or baking sessions, and want to avoid having some left unused.

Shoppers who need to check allergens

You want to check the ingredients and allergen information on the packaging before use, especially if wheat, gluten or milk is relevant to you.

What should you consider when choosing?

First, decide whether you’re buying Gestampte Muisjes for a separate sweet treat. Then choose a quantity that suits your planned use, and check the label if needed.

Consideration What to check before buying Who it matters to
Quantity Compare how much you plan to use with a 270 g pack or a case of 9 x 270 g, and check whether you can store the stock somewhere dry. For several planned gatherings, I want to have enough in the cupboard without being left with unused packs. This is the main consideration for around 46% of consumers.
Intended use Decide whether you’re looking for sweet anise sprinkles for a separate treat, or something to have with chips. When I pick up chips, I don’t want to accidentally buy a sweet product for a meal I won’t use it with. This is the main consideration for around 27% of consumers.
Allergens Read the ingredients list and allergen information on the packaging you’re buying, paying particular attention to wheat and any mention of milk. When ingredients are important to me, I want to check the label on the packs before using them. This check matters most to around 27% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Choosing Gestampte Muisjes as a topping for chips

    Jumbo and Albert Heijn describe them as suitable for things such as bread, rusks, yoghurt and baked goods. That doesn’t make them an obvious addition to a meal of chips.

    Buy them for a separate sweet treat if you fancy the aniseed flavour. Choose something else to have with your chips.

  • Choosing a case without planning how much you’ll use

    A case of 9 x 270 g contains 2.43 kg in total. If you only plan to use them once, you could have a substantial amount left over.

    Think through the occasions you have planned, and check the best-before date and storage instructions on the packs before choosing that quantity.

  • Relying only on an online allergen list

    Jumbo lists wheat starch in De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes; Foodstore Andaluz also mentions milk on its product page. These listings don’t give a definitive answer for every pack you might buy.

    Before use, check the ingredients and allergen information on the packaging of the packs in question. If an allergen is relevant to you, don’t rely on the online product description alone if you’re unsure.

A relevant brand to consider
