Which option is right for you?

Host who wants to serve with ease

You want to put small, individual biscuits on a plate without having to cut or break them up first. A 500 g bag of mini taaitaai could be a good fit; you can decide how many to serve.

Organiser with guests who have allergen requirements

You want guests to be able to check the ingredients and allergens. To do this, read the label on the pack you buy, including any warnings that the product may contain other allergens.

Organiser of a small get-together

You don’t want to serve more than your group is likely to eat. As well as the size of the biscuits, check the bag weight and storage instructions for any leftovers.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether small biscuits matter more to you than the pack size. Then check the allergen information for each option you’re considering to make sure it suits your guests.

What to consider What to check when buying Who is this important for?
Size and serving Look for an explicit mini label and check the bag weight. Don’t assume the biscuits are individually wrapped. If I’m putting biscuits on a plate for guests to help themselves, I want small pieces that I don’t have to divide up first. Around 45% of consumers put ease of serving first.
Allergens Read the ingredients, allergen information and any ‘may contain’ warnings on the pack you buy. If guests need to avoid allergens, I want to be able to check which biscuits I can offer them. For around 36% of consumers, this check is the top priority.
Quantity and leftovers Compare the bag weight with the number of guests and check the storage instructions in case there are leftovers. For a small get-together, I want to avoid having lots of biscuits left over. This is the main consideration for around 19% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming ‘mini’ means ready-portioned

    Jumbo, PLUS and Dirk list mini taaitaai in 500 g bags. The small size doesn’t tell you how many biscuits to serve per guest or whether they’re individually wrapped.

    Decide in advance how many you want to serve, then follow the storage instructions on the pack for any leftovers.

  • Relying on the product name for allergen information

    PLUS lists wheat, rye, milk and lactose among the ingredients in its taaitaai, as well as warnings about the possible presence of other allergens. The product name alone doesn’t give guests all the information they need.

    Read the current label and keep the pack handy during your get-together so guests can check the information themselves.

  • Confusing regular taaitaai with mini taaitaai

    ALDI describes its 500 g taaitaai as figure-shaped biscuits. This doesn’t confirm that they’re mini biscuits.

    If small, individual bites are important for your get-together, check the size description of the specific product.
