If you want to take a small portion of muisjes on an NS train, a smaller box isn’t the same as a single-serving pack. Albert Heijn and PLUS list De Ruijter Crushed Muisjes in 270 g boxes, alongside 330 g varieties. If you don’t want to travel with an opened box, measure out a portion at home or prepare your bread or crispbread in advance. Check the label of the variety you choose, too.
You don’t want to take an opened box containing hundreds of grams on a single train journey. The 270 g and 330 g boxes listed by Albert Heijn and PLUS aren’t individually packed travel portions. Measuring out a portion at home or choosing another snack is a better fit for your needs.
If you want to use muisjes as a topping, you can prepare your bread or crispbread at home rather than sprinkling them from a box during your journey. Jumbo and PLUS describe muisjes as a topping; preparing them in advance is a practical way to avoid loose muisjes in the carriage, though it won’t guarantee a crumb-free journey.
If you need to avoid wheat or gluten, the exact variety matters. Jumbo’s product information for De Ruijter Feest Muisjes and Joybuy’s for De Ruijter Muisjes Blauw & Wit both mention wheat or gluten. If you’re keeping an eye on sugar, compare the nutritional information per 100 g and per portion on the packaging you buy.
First decide whether you need an individually packed travel portion or would rather measure one out at home. Then think about how you’ll take the muisjes with you and check the label of the variety you choose.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Portion size | Compare the net weight with the amount you need for an individual portion: Albert Heijn and PLUS list De Ruijter Crushed Muisjes in a 270 g box, while the regular varieties mentioned contain 330 g. | I want to take a small amount for my journey without opening the whole box; portion size is the top priority for around 45% of consumers. |
| Keeping things tidy | Check whether you can prepare your bread or crispbread at home, or take a measured amount in a sealed container. NS asks passengers to put packaging and food waste in the bin or take it with them. | When I eat on the way, I don’t want to leave loose muisjes on my seat. Practicality when travelling matters most to around 33% of consumers. |
| Label information | For the exact variety, check the ingredients, allergens and nutritional information per 100 g and per portion. Jumbo and Joybuy list wheat or gluten for the De Ruijter varieties mentioned. | I want to know whether my chosen variety contains wheat and how much sugar is in my portion. For around 22% of consumers, checking the label is the deciding factor. |
At 270 g, De Ruijter Crushed Muisjes has a lower total weight than a 330 g box, but that doesn’t make it a measured single-serving portion.
If you need an individually packed portion, check the packaging format carefully. If you want to take these muisjes with you, measure out the amount you need at home.
Jumbo lists wheat and gluten in De Ruijter Feest Muisjes, and Joybuy lists them in De Ruijter Muisjes Blauw & Wit, too. These varieties aren’t suitable if you need to avoid wheat or gluten.
Before buying, check the allergen information for the exact variety and read the label on the packaging you receive as well.
Small sprinkles don’t tell you how much sugar is in the portion you eat. Nutritional values can also vary by variety and portion size.
Compare the nutritional information on the packaging and decide how much to take with you. Don’t assume that a smaller portion means a different product composition.
Preparing food in the carriage can leave muisjes and packaging behind. NS asks passengers to put rubbish in the bin or take it with them.
It’s best to prepare your bread or crispbread in advance, then clear away any leftovers and packaging after eating.
