If you want to take genuine Muisjes (Dutch aniseed sprinkles) in your gym bag or lunchbox, choose a 270 g or 330 g box and decant a small amount into a securely sealed container at home. Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS list boxes like these, but no multipack of individually portioned Muisjes. De Ruijter Kleintjes is not a like-for-like alternative: the pack listed by PLUS contains chocolate sprinkles and flakes, not Muisjes.

If the product type or colour variant matters to you, check the full name on the box. Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS list products including Feestmuisjes and Gestampte Muisjes; according to PLUS, Kleintjes contains other types of sweet bread topping.
If you want to check the ingredients, allergens or nutritional values, look at the packaging for the exact variant you’re buying. The listed product information for Feestmuisjes and Gestampte Muisjes mentions wheat and cereals containing gluten.
First, decide whether you specifically want Muisjes. Then choose the variant and box size, and think about how to take a small amount with you while keeping it dry and sealed.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Taking it with you and portioning it | Check whether it comes in a box or individual portions, and whether you can use a securely sealed container. | If I want a small topping after a workout, I don’t want to put the whole box in my bag. Around 42% of consumers put portability and portion size first. |
| Ingredients and nutritional values | Read the ingredients, allergen information and nutritional values for your chosen variant on the packaging. | If I’m watching out for an allergen or following my own dietary preferences, I want to know what’s in my portion. For around 33% of consumers, checking the label is the top priority. |
| Product type and variant | Check the full product name: Muisjes and Kleintjes are different products. | I’m specifically looking for Muisjes because of the variant or because I want to use them as a topping, not just any sweet bread topping. This distinction matters most to around 25% of consumers. |
