What should you look for?
If you’re considering Gestampte Muisjes as a little evening snack, think about whether flavour, the convenience of a single portion or checking the ingredients matters most to you.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who is this important to? |
|---|---|---|
| Flavour and how you’ll use it | Think about whether you want a sweet aniseed topping, and what you’ll use it on, such as bread, crispbread or yoghurt. | I want to add a little aniseed flavour late in the evening, not eat a bar. For around 42% of consumers, flavour and how they’ll use it would be the main consideration. |
| Pack format | Compare the net weight with the stated serving size: Albert Heijn lists 270 g per pack and 6 g per serving. | A jar for several occasions isn’t right for me if I want a ready-to-eat snack. For around 33% of consumers, an individual portion would be the priority. |
| Ingredients and sugars | Read the ingredients, allergen information and nutritional details on the pack you’re buying; the variety reviewed is listed as containing 79 g of sugars per 100 g. | If I need to avoid wheat or keep an eye on sugars, I want to know what I’m eating in advance. For around 25% of consumers, ingredients and nutritional information would matter most. |
Common mistakes
-
Mistaking a serving size for an individually wrapped snack
Albert Heijn lists a 6 g serving for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes, but the jar contains 270 g. You’ll need to measure out a portion yourself and store the rest.
If you want a ready-to-eat snack, check the alternative’s product page to make sure the pack really contains a single portion.
-
Overlooking the sugar content because you’re only sprinkling on a little
The variety reviewed is listed as containing 79 g of sugars per 100 g. How much you use determines how much you take from the jar.
Measure out the amount you want, and compare the nutritional information for specific products if sugars are a factor in your buying decision.
-
Relying only on an online description for allergen information
The variety described by Albert Heijn and Jumbo contains wheat and cereals containing gluten. Product information can change.
Check the ingredients and allergen information on the pack you’re actually using.
-
Assuming all aniseed toppings have the same nutritional values
According to Joybuy’s product information, De Ruijter Anijsstrooisels contains 91 g of sugars per 100 g; the Gestampte Muisjes variety reviewed is listed as containing 79 g per 100 g. They are different products.
Compare the ingredients, allergen information and nutritional values of the specific varieties you’re considering.
