If you want to serve individual small figures at the table, look for a mini taai-taai variety and check that it’s available shortly before you shop. A 500 g bag doesn’t contain individually wrapped breakfast portions, so decide for yourself how many pieces to serve. If gluten or other allergens are a concern, the information on the packaging takes priority over the shape of the biscuit.
If you’d like to serve a few small taai-taai figures alongside the rest of your weekend breakfast, a mini variety is one option. The mini products listed by PLUS and Dirk come in 500 g bags, not individually wrapped portions.
A product page doesn’t always confirm that you can still order the product. Jumbo says its Mini Taai Taai is no longer part of its online range, so check availability with the shop where you plan to do your shopping.
The standard varieties mentioned contain ingredients including wheat, rye and milk. Albert Heijn lists a gluten-free Consenza variety that contains oats, almonds and nuts. Check the packaging of the exact variety you’re buying.
Start by asking yourself whether you really want to serve small figures. Then check availability for when you plan to shop and make sure the ingredients are suitable for your guests.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Small serving portions | Check whether the product name identifies a mini variety and how much the bag contains.

Around 33% of consumers prioritise small serving portions. |
| Availability | Check the product status and information from your shop shortly before buying. Jumbo says its Mini Taai Taai is no longer part of its online range. | If you’re planning breakfast for a particular weekend, you’ll want to know whether your chosen mini variety will be available then.

Around 25% of consumers prioritise these checks. |
The mini varieties mentioned are sold in 500 g bags. Their small size doesn’t determine how many pieces you end up serving.
Decide in advance how many pieces to serve per person and put that amount on the table. Only use a stated portion size for the product it applies to.
