Who is this relevant to?

A telly viewer with coeliac disease

You’re looking for taaitaai as an evening snack, but want to check the current packaging before eating it. Look for a gluten-free label or the Crossed Grain symbol, and check the ingredients and any warnings.

If you’re specifically looking for taaitaai

You want taaitaai for St Nicholas celebrations or a night in front of the telly, not just any gluten-free biscuit. Check whether the seasonal version is available, and assess the packaging of the product you’re actually buying.

If you’re putting out snacks for a group

You’re serving snacks to someone with coeliac disease too. Keep the gluten-free option clearly separate from regular taaitaai, so the packaging and crumbs don’t get mixed up.

What should you look for when choosing?

If you have coeliac disease, start by checking the label on the packaging you’ll be using. Then check whether the taaitaai you want is available and how you can serve the snacks separately.

What to look for What to check when buying Who is this important for?
Gluten-free label Check the current packaging for a gluten-free label or the Crossed Grain symbol, the ingredients and any warnings. If I have coeliac disease, I want to know which taaitaai I can actually eat. For around 50% of consumers, checking the packaging comes first.
Availability Check the current order status or in-store stock of the specific gluten-free version. I want taaitaai for my night in front of the telly, rather than having to look for another biscuit at the last minute. For around 30% of consumers, finding taaitaai is the priority.
Serving snacks together Choose a clearly identifiable gluten-free product in its packaging, and keep it separate from regular taaitaai and crumbs. If I’m putting out snacks for several people, I want to be able to clearly distinguish the gluten-free option and, if necessary, choose another St Nicholas biscuit instead. For around 20% of consumers, practical serving considerations come first.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming regular taaitaai is gluten-free

    The shape of a product tells you nothing about its ingredients. PLUS lists wheat flour and rye flour in its Ambachtelijke taai taai koeken.

    Check each pack individually; don’t use a regular version as a substitute for a product labelled gluten-free.

  • Assuming a product page confirms stock

    Jumbo has a page for Gluten Free Bakery Holland Taai Taai Glutenvrij 130 g, but also states that the product is no longer in its online range.

    Check the current order status or in-store stock before counting on a particular version for your night in front of the telly.

  • Reading only the online product name

    An online listing isn’t the label on the pack you receive. The packaging itself is what matters for your final check before eating.

    When your order arrives, check the gluten-free label, ingredients and any warnings. Serve the product separately from snacks containing gluten.
