Anise sprinkle fan
If you want something sweet to sprinkle over bread, crispbread or yoghurt at the office, you can portion out Gestampte Muisjes yourself. Albert Heijn and Jumbo describe it as a bread topping.
Who is this relevant for?
Solo snacker looking for an individual portion
If you want a snack you can eat straight from an individual pack, De Ruijter’s 270 g sprinkle pack isn’t suited to that. When choosing an alternative, check the type of packaging.
Consumer avoiding wheat or gluten
Albert Heijn and Jumbo list wheat and cereals containing gluten among the ingredients of De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes. Check the ingredients and allergen information on the pack you buy.
What should you look for when choosing?
First decide whether you want a ready-to-eat snack or anise sprinkles to use with breakfast or as a snack. If you’re also considering anise strands, you’re comparing two sprinkle products, not two individually wrapped bars.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Portioning convenience | Check whether the product is loose sprinkles or individually wrapped, and whether you have bread, crispbread or yoghurt to hand. | I want to be able to eat something at work without opening a shared pack or measuring out a portion myself. For around 42% of consumers, a ready-to-eat individual portion comes first. |
| Anise flavour and how to use it | Compare the product descriptions and ingredients if you’re choosing between Gestampte Muisjes and other anise sprinkles. | I want the flavour of crushed, sugar-coated aniseed as a topping for my breakfast. Around 33% of consumers prioritise this flavour and use. |
| Labelling and storage | Check the ingredients, allergens and nutritional information, and follow the storage instructions on the packaging. | For a shared office supply, I want to know in advance what the ingredients are and how much I’m using. For around 25% of consumers, labelling and storage are the most important factors. |
Common mistakes
-
Mistaking a sprinkle pack for an individual snack
The De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes pack contains 270 g of sprinkles. You’ll also need bread, crispbread or yoghurt to use them as a topping.
Choose this product if you’re happy to portion it out for your office snack. If you want to eat something straight from its own pack without any preparation, check whether the alternative is individually wrapped.
-
Relying only on online allergen information
Albert Heijn and Jumbo list wheat and cereals containing gluten among the ingredients of Gestampte Muisjes. The information on a product page may differ from the packaging you receive.
Before eating or sharing it, read the ingredients and allergen information on the pack itself.
-
Forgetting to account for how much you use
According to product information from Albert Heijn and Jumbo, Gestampte Muisjes contains 79 g of sugars per 100 g. The nutritional information per 100 g doesn’t automatically tell you how much you’ll sprinkle over a single snack.
If you want to assess the nutritional values per portion, look at the amount you actually use.
A relevant brand to consider
De Ruijter

- Sprinkle-on topping that you can portion out yourself.

A ready-to-eat snack at Joybuy
If you’d rather take a sweet snack with you than add anise sprinkles to bread or yoghurt, you could try this chocolate option. It isn’t Gestampte Muisjes.
