Common mistakes
-
Assuming ‘crushed’ means a mini portion
The name describes the form of the topping, not the size of an individual portion. Jumbo and PLUS list it in a 270 g pack.
If you want a set amount for each snack, check whether a smaller alternative actually states the net contents per portion. With a larger pack, you decide how much to use.
-
Relying only on online allergen information
bol's product details list wheat starch. Ingredient information in an online product listing may differ from the pack you receive.
Check the current label before use. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says that allergen information must appear on the labels of pre-packed products.
-
Confusing a small portion with a different nutritional profile
Using less topping doesn’t change its nutritional value per 100 g. bol's product listing gives De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes as containing 79 g of sugars per 100 g.
Check the figure on your pack and compare sweet toppings on the same 100 g basis, as recommended by the Netherlands Nutrition Centre.
