Who is this choice relevant to?

People looking for a proven reduction in sugar

You only want to choose Muisjes if you can check the claim and the sugars per 100 g for the exact variant. A standard pack of Muisjes is not, in itself, proof of reduced sugar.

People looking for a sweet topping

You want the flavour of aniseed with a sugar coating and don’t need reduced sugar. With stamppot, you’re deliberately choosing a sweet contrast in flavour; also think about what you’ll do with the rest of the pack.

People who check ingredients

You want to know before buying whether your chosen variant contains wheat or gluten. PLUS lists wheat starch in De Ruijter Blue and White Muisjes; check the ingredients and allergen information on the current label.

What should you look for when choosing?

For a stamppot supper, first decide whether a proven reduction in sugar is essential. Then consider whether you want the sweet aniseed flavour, and check the ingredients for the exact variant.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters to
Proven reduction in sugar Check the claim and sugars per 100 g on the exact pack; compare them with a suitable product. I only want to buy Muisjes if I can properly compare the sugar content of the variant I’ve chosen. A proven reduction in sugar is the top priority for around 50% of consumers.
Flavour with stamppot Decide whether you want a sweet aniseed topping and what you’ll use the rest of the pack for. For this meal, I want to decide first whether the sweet flavour works with stamppot. This use is the most important factor for around 30% of consumers.
Wheat and gluten Read the ingredients and allergen information on the current label for your chosen variant. If I need to avoid wheat or gluten, I check the ingredients before comparing sugar or flavour. Around 20% of consumers make this their top priority.

Common mistakes

  • Mistaking a search result for a reduced-sugar product claim

    The search terms you use to find Muisjes tell you nothing about the sugar content of the pack. Joybuy lists 79 g of sugars per 100 g for De Ruijter Blue & White Muisjes.

    Before choosing them as lower-sugar Muisjes, check the claim and nutritional information for the exact variant.

  • Assuming Muisjes are an obvious topping for stamppot

    Product descriptions mainly suggest sweet uses, such as on bread, crispbread and yoghurt, or as decoration. That doesn’t mean the flavour combination with stamppot is a safe bet.

    Choose Muisjes for this meal only if you deliberately want a sweet aniseed contrast. Before buying, also think of another use for the rest of the pack.

  • Comparing only the sugars and overlooking allergens

    PLUS lists wheat starch in De Ruijter Blue and White Muisjes. Choosing a product based on its sugar content doesn’t tell you whether its ingredients are suitable for you.

    First read the ingredients and allergen information on the current label for the exact variant.

Relevant brands to consider

De Ruijter

PLUS lists Blue and White Muisjes, while Jumbo lists Party Muisjes. These variants give you an idea of the types of Muisjes you may come across, but a product name is no guarantee of lower sugar content.

  • The variants mentioned differ in style; always check the information on the pack you plan to buy.
  • Joybuy lists 79 g of sugars per 100 g and wheat gluten for Blue & White Muisjes. This applies to that variant, not necessarily to the entire Muisjes range.
