Commuter who prepares breakfast in advance
Wants to add an aniseed flavour to bread, rusks or yoghurt to take along. Gestampte Muisjes needs a base to eat it with and, if you’re taking it separately, a well-sealed container for your portion.
Who is this choice relevant to?
Shopper looking for a snack to eat on its own
Wants to eat something straight from an individual pack with their coffee, without bringing bread, yoghurt or cutlery. A 270 g pack of sprinkles isn’t designed to do the same job as a snack bar.
Shopper who checks labels carefully
Pays attention to ingredients, sugars or allergens. Online listings for Gestampte Muisjes differ on whether it contains milk; if you have an allergy, the label on the pack you buy is the one to follow.
What should you look for when choosing?
First decide whether you want something to eat straight away with your coffee or are preparing breakfast. Then consider how you’ll use it and check the label: Gestampte Muisjes is a topping, while an individually wrapped snack belongs to a different product category.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who is this important to? |
|---|---|---|
| Ready to eat straight away | Are you choosing a 270 g pack of sprinkles, or do you need an individually wrapped snack? | I want to eat a single portion straight away with my coffee, without bringing breakfast items along. For around 50% of shoppers, convenience comes first. |
| Aniseed flavour at breakfast | Decide whether you’ll be taking bread, rusks or yoghurt to use the sprinkles with. | When I prepare breakfast in advance, I mainly want to add an aniseed flavour to what I’m taking with me. For around 30% of shoppers, this is the deciding factor. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients, nutrition information and allergen details on the current pack; don’t compare sugars per 100 g with sugars per portion. | I want to know what’s in my portion and which allergens are listed on the pack, especially if online listings differ. For around 20% of shoppers, checking the label is their main concern. |
Common mistakes
-
Mistaking a pack of sprinkles for a snack bar
Jumbo lists De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes in a 270 g pack. If you’re having it with coffee on the go, you’ll also need something to eat it with, such as bread or rusks prepared in advance.
If you want to eat something without any preparation, look specifically for an individually wrapped snack. Choose Gestampte Muisjes if you’re happy to bring your own portion and something to eat it with.
-
Treating online allergen information as definitive
Albert Heijn notes that product information can change. The online listings from Hollandsnackexpress and Worldwide Holland don’t list the same allergens: Worldwide Holland also lists milk.
Before eating it, check the ingredients and allergen information on the pack you actually bought.
-
Judging the sugar content without considering the portion
Hollandsnackexpress lists 79 g of sugars per 100 g for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes. That isn’t the amount in every individual portion.
Check the nutrition information on the pack and consider how much you use if the sugar content is important to your choice.
A relevant brand to consider
De Ruijter
De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes is sugared aniseed sprinkles for use as a topping, not a snack bar.
- Can be used with a breakfast prepared in advance, for example with bread, rusks or yoghurt.
- Jumbo lists a 270 g pack; if you want a single portion ready to eat, you’ll need to portion it yourself and bring something to eat the sprinkles with.
- Check the allergens on the current pack, as online listings differ on whether it contains milk.

Frequently asked questions
Is Gestampte Muisjes a snack bar for on the go?
No. Jumbo lists De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes as sprinkles in a 270 g pack. You can use it with a breakfast prepared in advance when you’re out and about, but it isn’t a bar you can eat straight from the pack.
How can I take Gestampte Muisjes with me for coffee?
Measure out a portion into a well-sealed container and take it with bread, rusks or yoghurt to use it with. That way, you won’t need to bring the large pack, but you will still need something to eat it with.
What should I check if I need to avoid wheat, gluten or milk?
Read the allergen information on the pack you buy. Hollandsnackexpress lists wheat and cereals containing gluten; Worldwide Holland also lists milk. If you have an allergy, don’t rely on just one online product listing.
How should I assess the sugar content?
Compare the nutrition information per 100 g with the amount you actually use. Hollandsnackexpress lists 79 g of sugars per 100 g of Gestampte Muisjes; the amount per portion depends on how much you take.
