Choose De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes if you specifically want ground, sugar-coated aniseed and are happy to measure out a small amount at home: the 270 g pack lists 6 g portions, not individual sachets. If individual portions matter more, De Ruijter Kleintjes is a different kind of sweet topping, not a mini version of Gestampte Muisjes. Whichever you choose, check the ingredients and allergen information on the current packaging.
A portion size helps you measure out the amount you want, but it isn’t the same as an individual sachet. Albert Heijn lists 6 g portions for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes; De Ruijter Kleintjes contains eight individual portions of a different topping.
If you specifically want ground, sugar-coated aniseed on bread, crispbread or yoghurt, a pack of chocolate or fruit sprinkles isn’t the same product.
For De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes, wheat starch, wheat and cereals containing gluten are relevant label information. If you also want to compare the sugar content per portion, check the nutritional information on the packaging.
A good choice if: the aniseed flavour and ingredients of Gestampte Muisjes are your priorities.

A good choice if: pre-portioned servings matter more than the specific contents of Gestampte Muisjes.
The trade-off: De Ruijter Kleintjes contains other types of sweet topping and isn’t ground aniseed.
