The De Ruijter Muisjes stocked by Albert Heijn and Jumbo are sprinkles sold in 270 to 330 g packs, not individually wrapped bars for a single snack. If you want something to eat straight away at Schiphol without bread, crispbread or another base, look for a ready-to-eat snack. Choose Muisjes if you want to use them as a topping or spread. Schiphol lists an Albert Heijn on Plaza, before security, but check whether that store has Muisjes in stock if you plan to buy them there.
If you want to eat a single portion while waiting or on the plane, without having to bring anything else, a pack of sprinkles may not suit your plans. If you choose an alternative, look for an individually wrapped, ready-to-eat option.
If you want to sprinkle Muisjes on bread, crispbread or another base, a larger pack may suit you if you plan to take it with you or share it. Albert Heijn and PLUS describe De Ruijter Muisjes as a spread or topping.
If you need information about ingredients or allergens, read the label on the exact variety you’re buying. Albert Heijn lists wheat and gluten-containing cereals in the pink and white De Ruijter Muisjes; don’t assume the same information applies to a different variety.
First decide whether you want an individually wrapped snack to eat straight away, or Muisjes to use as sprinkles. If you’re considering buying Muisjes on your own near Schiphol, the timing of your purchase and what you need to check before travelling are the main things to consider.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| A portion to eat straight away | Check whether it’s a ready-to-eat snack in an individual pack. A serving size on the label isn’t the same as the contents of the retail pack. | If I’m travelling alone and don’t want anything else with my snack, an individually wrapped, ready-to-eat option is more useful than sprinkles. Around 45% of consumers prioritise having a portion they can eat straight away. |
| Buying before departure | Check stock at your chosen shop and allow time for shopping before security. Schiphol lists an Albert Heijn on Plaza, but doesn’t specify whether a particular product is in stock. | If you’re planning to shop at the airport, you’ll want to know whether you can get Muisjes in time. For around 33% of consumers, being able to buy them at that point is the main consideration. |
| Labelling and hand luggage | Read the ingredients and allergen information for your chosen variety. Check Schiphol’s hand-luggage rules separately for anything you bring to go with it, especially if it’s a liquid or gel. | If I need to read the label or bring something spreadable to go with my Muisjes, I want to know what I can take before I set off. Around 22% of consumers prioritise this check. |
Albert Heijn gives a serving size of 15 g for pink and white De Ruijter Muisjes, while the retail pack contains 280 g. So it isn’t an individually wrapped snack for a single occasion.
If you’re looking for a single portion you can eat straight away, check the pack size and format.

Check each item you’re taking separately, such as yoghurt or a spreadable product.
