Want to measure out a small amount of sprinkles in advance for an Oranje viewing party? De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes has a suggested serving size of 6 g to use as a guide. For a colourful topping to share, De Ruijter Feestmuisjes is another option, with a suggested serving size of 15 g. According to product information from Jumbo and Albert Heijn, these are standard boxes of 270 g and 330 g respectively, not single-serve packs. If you’re looking for an Oranje colour, check the packaging of the product you buy, and read the allergen information before serving.
If you only want to sprinkle a little over a snack, you can measure out a portion yourself rather than putting the box on the table. Jumbo lists a 6 g serving of De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes; Albert Heijn lists a 15 g serving of Feestmuisjes.
A platter of toppings can make part of the viewing occasion when you’re serving rusks, crackers or yoghurt. According to product information from Albert Heijn and PLUS, De Ruijter Feestmuisjes can be sprinkled over these foods. The name doesn’t mean the sprinkles are orange, so check the current packaging.
If someone at the table needs to avoid wheat or gluten, the ingredients list matters more than the amount you sprinkle. Jumbo and Albert Heijn product information lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for the De Ruijter varieties discussed here. Check the label on the pack you buy, too.
First decide whether you mainly want to measure out a small amount or serve a topping to share. Then check that the ingredients are suitable for everyone who’ll be eating.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Small serving to sprinkle | Compare the suggested serving size with the amount in the box. Jumbo lists 6 g per serving for Gestampte Muisjes; Albert Heijn lists 15 g for Feestmuisjes. | If I only want to sprinkle a little over one snack, I want to be able to measure out that amount in advance. For around 45% of consumers, a small, predictable portion comes first. |
| Sharing and presentation | Check the colour on the current packaging and think about how you want to serve the topping in portions. | For a viewing party, I want to serve a colourful accent without having to sprinkle it straight from the box each time. Around 33% of consumers focus most on sharing and presentation. |
| Label and nutritional information | Read the ingredients and allergen information on the packaging; compare sugars per 100 g and per serving. | When not everyone can eat the same ingredients, I want to know what’s in the sprinkles before serving. Checking the label is the top priority for around 22% of consumers. |
The suggested serving size is the amount to serve, not the contents of the box. According to Jumbo and Albert Heijn, De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes and Feestmuisjes come in boxes of 270 g and 330 g respectively.
Check the net weight if you’re looking for a smaller pack size. If you mainly want to serve a small amount at a time, measure out the amount you want to sprinkle in advance.
De Ruijter’s brand history describes an orange edition of muisjes released around the birth of Princess Beatrix in 1938. That history doesn’t tell you what colour the packaging you buy today will be.
Check the product name and image at your chosen shop, and look at the packaging to see whether the colour suits your Oranje theme.
