Night-shift teams portioning their own snacks
You want to divide one box between several breaks, colleagues or lunchboxes. Check whether you’re buying individual portions or a box that you’ll need to portion yourself.
Who is this choice relevant to?
Shoppers choosing a product form
You want to enjoy whole or crushed Muisjes on bread or rusks, or stirred into yoghurt. Jumbo’s product description suggests these uses for crushed Muisjes, so choose the form you’d like to take with you.
Shoppers who check the label first
You check the ingredients, allergens, nutritional information, best-before date and storage instructions on the box you choose, especially if you’ll be sharing it with colleagues.
What should you look for when choosing?
First, decide whether you need individually portioned servings or want to portion a box yourself. Then choose the product form and read the label on the variety you’re taking with you.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Portions and packaging | Check whether individual portions are explicitly listed and confirm the net contents of the box. | If I want to divide Muisjes between several breaks or lunchboxes, I need to know whether I’ll be portioning them myself. For around 40% of consumers, this is the top priority. |
| Ingredients and nutritional information | Check the ingredients, allergens and nutritional information per 100 g and, if stated, per portion on the packaging you choose. | If I’m sharing, I want to check in advance what the Muisjes contain and how much sugar is in my portion. Around 30% of consumers prioritise checking the label. |
| Whole or crushed Muisjes | Choose the form you want and check whether the 270 g or 330 g box is right for what you plan to take with you. | For my break, I want a form that suits how I eat Muisjes, for example on bread or stirred into yoghurt. For around 30% of consumers, the product form matters most. |
Common mistakes
-
Assuming a large box is a multipack
A 270 g or 330 g box doesn’t necessarily contain individually wrapped portions. Joybuy describes the 330 g blue and white variety as a single pack.
Look for an explicit number of individual portions on the product page or packaging. If none is listed, assume you’ll need to portion them yourself.
If you’re dividing them between different lunchboxes, you may need separate, sealable containers or bags.
-
Waiting until after sharing to read the label
Jumbo’s Feest Muisjes contain wheat. The box size or colour alone won’t tell you which ingredients and allergens are in the variety you’ve chosen.
Before sharing, read the ingredients, allergens and nutritional information on the packaging of that specific variety.
Relevant brands to consider
De Ruijter
Jumbo and Albert Heijn’s Muisjes ranges include De Ruijter varieties such as blue and white, pink and white, Feest and crushed.
- The listed varieties include 270 g and 330 g boxes, so you can compare the product form and contents.
- A box with a larger quantity isn’t automatically a pack of individual portions; check the description on the packaging you choose.

Frequently asked questions
Is a 330 g box of Muisjes a multipack for lunchboxes?
No. The 330 g quantity alone doesn’t confirm that the Muisjes are individually portioned. Joybuy lists the blue and white variety as a single pack; check the stated number of portions if you’re looking for ready-to-go lunchbox packs.
Should I choose whole or crushed Muisjes for my break?
Choose the form you’d like to eat rather than assuming one is more suitable. Jumbo suggests serving crushed Muisjes on bread or rusks, or stirring them into yoghurt. Also check the contents of the box you choose.
How should I store an opened box of Muisjes?
Store the Muisjes in a dry place and seal the packaging well after opening, as indicated in the product information. Check the best-before date and any additional instructions on the box you’ve bought.
Where can I check whether Muisjes contain wheat?
Read the ingredients and allergen information on the packaging you choose. Jumbo lists wheat in De Ruijter Feest Muisjes. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority states that allergens must be listed in the ingredients list on prepacked foods.
