Who are mini taaitaai biscuits handy for?

Parents who want to portion out biscuits

If you want to hand out snacks for several occasions, individual small biscuits are easier to count than large figures. Choosing a mini size doesn’t determine how much you ultimately serve.

Families sharing a bag

If you have visitors or want snacks for several occasions, you can divide biscuits from a larger bag in advance. Don’t just look at the total weight of the bag; think about how much you want to serve each time.

Shoppers checking for allergens

Check the ingredients and allergen information on the bag you buy. PLUS lists wheat, rye, milk and lactose among the ingredients or allergens for its Taai taai sint en piet; a product name containing ‘gluten free’ is no substitute for checking the current label.

What should you look for when choosing?

If you have allergies, checking the label comes first. Otherwise, start by deciding whether you want individual mini biscuits to portion out or a bag to share on several occasions.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Mini size Check that ‘mini’ appears on the packaging, and look for the number of biscuits or portion information if provided. For snack times with children, I want to be able to count out biscuits without breaking up large figures; around 37% of consumers say size is their top priority.
A bag to share Compare the weight of the bags and think about how much you want to hand out at each snack time. If we have visitors or are sharing snacks over several days, I want to have enough at home; having enough in stock is the main concern for around 27% of consumers.
Allergens Read the ingredients and allergen information on the current packaging; assess any variant labelled gluten-free separately. If someone has an allergy, I first need to know whether this specific bag is suitable for them; around 18% of consumers prioritise this check.
Availability Check stock at your local shop, along with the best-before date and storage instructions on the packaging. If I’m planning a snack for the holidays, I don’t want to be looking for a suitable bag on the day; being able to buy it in good time is a priority for around 18% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming ‘mini’ means a set portion

    Jumbo and Dirk each list a 500 g mini taaitaai variant. That’s the weight of the bag, not the weight of an individual biscuit or a portion.

    Check the number of biscuits or portion information if it’s shown on the packaging, and set out the amount you want to serve in advance.

  • Relying on the product name when checking for allergens

    PLUS lists wheat, rye, milk and lactose for Taai taai sint en piet. The size of taaitaai biscuits tells you nothing about the allergens in a particular variant.

    Check the ingredients and allergen information on the packaging of the bag you’ve chosen every time you buy it.

  • Assuming regular taaitaai is the same as mini taaitaai

    Taaitaai in figure form may be suitable for sharing, but it won’t necessarily give you the individual small biscuits you want to count.

    Choose a regular variant if you’re happy to portion it out yourself; otherwise, look specifically for a product labelled ‘mini’.

  • Counting on seasonal stock being available

    Dirk lists mini taaitaai biscuits among its seasonal sweets. A product listing doesn’t tell you whether the bag you want will be in store when you shop.

    Check local stock and the best-before date before planning snacks for a particular day.

    If the variant you want isn’t available, you may need to make an extra trip to the shop or choose something else.
