Shoppers who want to plan portions

You want to keep taaitaai biscuits in stock, but decide in advance how many little figures to have at each snack break. The stated weight per piece or portion is more helpful than the word ‘mini’ alone.

Shoppers who check for gluten or other allergens

You need to avoid certain ingredients or are buying taaitaai biscuits to share. In that case, the latest ingredients and allergen information on the packaging is what matters; a small size or a gluten-free label won’t answer every question about allergens.

Shoppers stocking up to share

You’re looking for a bag to enjoy over several snack breaks at home or in the office. As well as the weight of the bag, check the storage instructions and availability at your chosen retailer.

What should you look for when choosing?

If you’re thinking of adding mini taaitaai biscuits to your snack stash, first decide what matters most: counting portions, checking allergens or stocking up. Then compare products using the same nutritional basis, as recommended by the Netherlands Nutrition Centre: per 100 g.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters most to
Portions and weight per piece Check the weight per piece or stated portion, and compare the nutritional information per 100 g. If I want to have a few little figures at a time, I need to know how big they really are. For around 50% of these shoppers, being able to plan the number of pieces comes first.
Gluten and other allergens Read the ingredients, allergen and any ‘may contain’ information on the current packaging. When buying or sharing them, I want to be sure which ingredients I need to avoid. Around 30% of these shoppers give this check top priority.
Stock and storage Check the bag weight, availability at your chosen retailer and the storage instructions. For several snack breaks or a bag to share, I want to know whether the quantity and storage requirements suit me. This is the main consideration for around 20% of these shoppers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming ‘mini’ means less sugar or energy

    A smaller figure doesn’t automatically change the nutritional value per 100 g. And the weight per piece isn’t always the same as the portion size stated by the manufacturer.

    Start by comparing the nutritional information per 100 g. Then use the weight per piece or portion size to decide how many you want.

  • Relying only on ‘gluten-free’ or the front of the bag

    Gluten-free doesn’t mean free from other allergens. For example, the Consenza Taai Taai Poppetjes listed by Albert Heijn contain oats, almonds and nuts.

    Before buying, check the latest ingredients and allergen information on the packaging, especially if you’re planning to share the taaitaai biscuits with others.

  • Planning a stock-up around an old product listing

    A product page can remain visible even when an item is no longer available online. For example, Jumbo stated that Mini Taai Taai 500 g was no longer part of its online range.

    Check availability with the retailer you plan to order from or shop at shortly before buying.

Brands compared

These product examples show how bag weight, portion information and ingredients can vary. A brand name alone won’t tell you which option is right for your stash.

Jumbo

Jumbo Supermarkten lists Sint Taai Taai Figuurtjes in a 500 g bag, with a 14 g portion and around 36 portions per bag.

  • The stated portion weight makes it easier to plan how much to have at a time.
  • Check the ingredients and allergens for the option you choose; the name of a figures or mini product isn’t enough to tell you.

  • The stated portion sizes help you plan how much is in the bag.
  • The product information includes milk, wheat and rye, among other ingredients; check the current label if allergens are a concern.

Bolletje

Consenza

Albert Heijn describes Consenza Taai Taai Poppetjes as gluten-free and organic, in a 125 g pack.

  • The packaging is explicitly labelled gluten-free.
  • The listed ingredients include oats, almonds and nuts; in this case, gluten-free doesn’t mean allergen-free.
