If you want to take certified organic Gestampte Muisjes with you, only choose a product if you can check the EU organic logo on the packaging. If organic certification isn’t essential, you could consider regular De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes as aniseed sprinkles that can be stored in a dry place and served on bread or crispbread. Check the label for wheat and gluten first.
If organic certification is essential, check the certification logo on the specific pack rather than relying on a search result. According to the European Commission, the EU organic logo may only be used on products that have been certified as organic.

| What to look for | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Organic certification | Check for the EU organic logo on the specific pack; also look for the control body’s details and the product’s origin. | If I only want a certified organic product, a search term or brand name isn’t enough. Verifiable certification is a priority for around 42% of consumers. |
| Storage in a dry place | Read the storage instructions and take packaging that you can keep closed and dry. | When I’m having breakfast by the tent, I don’t want to rely on refrigeration for my sprinkles. Around 33% of consumers prioritise this practical storage requirement. |
| Wheat, gluten and sugars | Read the allergen information and compare the nutritional information per 100 g on the current label. | If I need to avoid wheat or gluten, or keep an eye on sugars, the ingredients determine my choice. This is the first thing around 25% of consumers consider. |
A search term or a shop’s organic range tells you nothing about the certification of the pack you’re buying. According to the European Commission, the EU organic logo is linked to organic certification.
Check the logo on the actual packaging. If certification is essential to you, don’t substitute a regular version.
