Who is this choice relevant to?

Chocolate coating fans

You’re looking for taaitaai with chocolate, not plain taaitaai alongside a separate chocolate product. Jumbo explicitly lists Taai Taai Melkchocolade 250 g in its online product listing.

Online shoppers looking for a larger bag

You’re happy to choose plain taaitaai as an alternative and want to add a 500 g pack to your order. Both Albert Heijn and PLUS list a bag of this size online.

Shoppers who need to check allergens

You want to check the ingredients for the exact product before ordering. The plain taaitaai from Albert Heijn and PLUS lists milk and cereals containing gluten, among other ingredients. Don’t assume the chocolate version has the same information.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether a chocolate coating is essential. Then compare pack sizes and check whether the product is available for your delivery slot. Always check the label information for the product you choose.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters to
Chocolate coating Look for both taaitaai and an explicit mention of chocolate or milk chocolate in the name or description. Jumbo lists Taai Taai Melkchocolade 250 g. If I specifically want the combination of taaitaai and chocolate, a plain bag won’t meet my needs. For around 42% of consumers, the coating is the priority.
Pack size and delivery Compare the net weight and check whether the exact product can be added to your basket for your address and delivery slot. Albert Heijn and PLUS list plain taaitaai in 500 g packs. If I’m happy with plain taaitaai too, I mainly want to be able to add a suitable pack to my order. For around 33% of consumers, that combination of pack size and ease of ordering comes first.
Ingredients and allergens Read the current ingredients and allergen information for the exact product before ordering and on the packaging you receive. Also look out for any warnings about possible traces. If I need to avoid certain ingredients, I can only choose after checking the label for my product. For an estimated 25% of consumers, this is the first priority.

Common mistakes

  • Mistaking plain taaitaai for the chocolate version

    A product being listed in a Sinterklaas range doesn’t mean it has a chocolate coating. The products mentioned from Albert Heijn and PLUS are plain taaitaai; Jumbo specifies milk chocolate for its product.

    Before adding it to your basket, check that the product name or description mentions both taaitaai and chocolate.

  • Assuming allergens are the same as in another product

    The plain taaitaai from Albert Heijn and PLUS lists milk and cereals containing gluten. The ingredients in those products don’t tell you which allergens are in Jumbo Taai Taai Melkchocolade 250 g.

    Use the current ingredients and allergen information for the exact product, and check the packaging when it arrives too.

  • Assuming a supermarket listing means home delivery is available

    ALDI lists plain taai-taai in a 500 g pack and directs shoppers to its stores for this product. That doesn’t confirm that it can be delivered.

    Check with the supermarket whether the exact product is available to order for your address and chosen delivery slot.
