If you’re looking for taaitaai for someone with coeliac disease
You want to see a gluten-free claim on the packaging. Check the label again every time you buy it, even if you’re familiar with the product.
Who is this choice relevant to?
If organic ingredients matter to you too
Alongside the gluten-free claim, you’re looking for an organic variety and want to check its ingredients. For its organic Consenza taaitaai, Albert Heijn lists ingredients including gluten-free oat flour, buckwheat flour, almonds and aniseed.
If you need to take other allergens into account
A ‘gluten-free’ claim alone isn’t enough for you. Depending on which allergens you need to avoid, also look for information about ingredients such as oats, nuts, milk, lupin, sesame or egg.
What should you look for when choosing?
Start with the gluten-free claim on the packaging. Then check for other allergens and consider your ingredient preferences. Before buying, make sure the variety you’ve chosen is actually available.

Common mistakes
-
Assuming ‘gluten-free’ means ‘free from all allergens’
These are two different things to check. For Consenza, Albert Heijn lists oats, almonds and nuts as allergens. The Maître Mathis variety we found lists milk and lupin, as well as warnings about the possible presence of other allergens.
Use the gluten-free claim as your first check, then look at the current label for any allergens relevant to you.
-
Assuming an old product page means the product is available to order
Albert Heijn marks the Maître Mathis variety we found as no longer available. Jumbo says Gluten Free Bakery Holland is no longer part of its online range.
Use these listings only as a guide to identifying a variety. Check the current availability and packaging at the shop where you plan to buy it.
-
Assuming organic means gluten-free
An organic claim tells you something different from a ‘gluten-free’ claim, and by itself says nothing about other allergens. For example, the organic Consenza variety also lists oats and almonds.
Check the organic and gluten-free claims, as well as any allergens relevant to you, separately on the packaging.
Brands to consider
Product listings from these brands can help you compare ingredients and allergens. A listing doesn’t necessarily mean that a variety is currently available to order.
Consenza
Albert Heijn lists 125 g organic gluten-free taaitaai figures from Consenza.
- Listed ingredients include gluten-free oat flour, buckwheat flour, almonds and aniseed.
- The product information lists oats, almonds and nuts as allergens. Check that the current packaging is suitable for your needs.
Maître Mathis
Albert Heijn lists 125 g gluten-free taaitaai from Maître Mathis, but marks this variety as no longer available.
- The listed recipe includes ingredients such as cornflour, gluten-free oat flour and taaitaai spices.

Frequently asked questions
Does ‘gluten-free’ mean that taaitaai contains absolutely no gluten?
No, the claim doesn’t mean that the amount of gluten is literally zero. If you’re buying taaitaai for someone with coeliac disease, look for the claim on the current packaging, not just a description on a product page.
Is taaitaai made with oat flour automatically gluten-free?
No, oat flour as an ingredient isn’t enough on its own to determine whether a product is gluten-free. Check the claim on the taaitaai itself. For the Consenza variety we found, Albert Heijn specifically lists gluten-free oat flour.
Should I read the label again if I’ve bought the same taaitaai before?
Yes, check the packaging again before using the product. Ingredients and allergen information can change, so a previous purchase or product page is no substitute for checking the current label.
Can I order any gluten-free taaitaai I find online straight away?
No. Albert Heijn marks the Maître Mathis variety we found as no longer available, and Jumbo says Gluten Free Bakery Holland Gluten-Free Taai Taai is no longer part of its online range. Check the current order status with the shop where you plan to buy it.
Where can I find information about other allergens in taaitaai?
Read the allergen information on the current packaging. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says allergens must be listed on the labels of prepacked foods. A ‘gluten-free’ claim doesn’t replace this check.
