If you want a breakfast you can eat on the go without any preparation, the Muisjes packs that Jumbo lists as a sweet bread spread won’t meet your need for a ready-to-eat bar: they come in 270 g or 330 g packs. If you specifically want Muisjes, make sure you have bread or rusks to go with them. If you need a single ready-to-eat portion, compare a different type of breakfast product.
Which option is right for you?
Breakfast on the go, with no preparation
You’re looking for a single portion you can eat without bread or rusks. Jumbo lists De Ruijter Muisjes as a sweet bread spread in 270 g or 330 g packs, so you’ll need to look for a different type of product if you want a ready-to-eat bar.
Enjoying Muisjes at home or at your destination
You want to use Muisjes as a sweet bread spread and have bread or rusks available. You can then choose the Muisjes variety you like, but you’ll need to provide the base separately.
What should you look for when choosing?
First, decide whether you can take bread or rusks with you and prepare them. Then choose between Muisjes as a spread and a product you can eat straight from the pack.

| What makes up your breakfast |
Check what you’ll eat it with and read the nutritional information for the products you choose. |

| Muisjes flavour |
Choose the Muisjes variety you like and make sure you have bread or rusks available. |
If I specifically want the aniseed flavour, I can prepare a base at home or at my destination. That flavour would be the deciding factor for around 20% of consumers. |
Common mistakes
-
Mistaking a pack of Muisjes for a bar
Jumbo lists De Ruijter Muisjes as a sweet bread spread in 270 g or 330 g packs. A pack like this isn’t the same as a single, individually wrapped, ready-to-eat portion.
If you need something you can eat without preparation, check the product type before choosing a breakfast product.
-
Forgetting the base of your breakfast
Muisjes is a bread spread, not a substitute for the bread or rusks you want to put it on. Voedingscentrum lists wholemeal bread and yoghurt with wholegrain breakfast cereal among its breakfast options.
Decide in advance what you’ll have as a base and whether you can take it with you.
-
Relying on a product page for allergen information
The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says that allergen information must appear on the label of prepacked foods. Albert Heijn points out that product information can change.
If you need to check for allergens, read the current label on the exact pack you’re buying.

Frequently asked questions
Can I take the Muisjes products listed with me as a bar?
No. The four De Ruijter products in Jumbo’s Muisjes category are listed as a sweet bread spread in 270 g or 330 g packs, not as individually wrapped bars. If you’re considering another product, check separately whether it’s ready to eat and individually wrapped.
What if I want Muisjes but don’t have much time?
Use Muisjes as a spread if you can prepare bread or rusks in advance. If you need a breakfast you can eat without any preparation, choose a ready-to-eat product and compare the ingredients and nutritional information for the specific options.
How should I store Feest Muisjes?
Jumbo says De Ruijter Feest Muisjes should be stored in a dry place. Also follow the storage and resealing instructions on the pack you’re using.
Where can I check allergens in Muisjes?
Read the current label on the pack you’re buying. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says that allergen information for prepacked foods must appear on the label, so don’t rely on a product page alone.
