If you want to hand out individual bites at a street festival, check the stated weight per piece: the serving size on the pack doesn’t always tell you how big each little figure is. If having enough to share is more important, compare the pack size and the number of stated servings. For a gluten-free option, look for an explicit gluten-free label and check the current packaging for other allergens too. Check availability before you buy.
For individual bites, the weight per piece is more useful than the word ‘mini’ alone. Jumbo listed Bolletje Taai Taai Poppetjes at around 9.5 g each; for Jumbo Mini Taai Taai, the stated serving was 14 g, which doesn’t necessarily mean one piece.
A small size tells you nothing about allergens. Albert Heijn describes Consenza Taai taai poppetjes as gluten-free, but also lists oats, almonds and nuts. Check the current packaging for all ingredients and allergens relevant to you.
If you need enough taaitaai for several rounds of handing it out, compare the pack size with the stated number of servings. Check availability too: on 7 October 2026, Jumbo said the small Jumbo and Bolletje varieties it had checked were no longer in its online range.
For your street festival, first decide whether the size of each bite, the ingredients or the quantity for your group matters most. Then check the details for the specific variety you plan to buy.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters most to |
|---|---|---|
| Size of each bite | Check the weight per piece and distinguish it from the weight per serving. | I want to hand out small bites without having to guess how big each little figure is. For around 42% of consumers, bite size would be the main factor in their choice. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Check for a gluten-free claim, if relevant, as well as the full ingredients and allergen information on the pack. | If I need to take a dietary restriction into account, the ingredients matter more than the size. For around 25% of consumers, this would be their first consideration. |
| Quantity for the group | Compare the pack size, the stated number of servings and current availability. | For a group, I want to plan enough rounds of handing them out, even if the size of each piece matters less. Having enough for the group would be the main concern for around 33% of consumers. |
The small size doesn’t change the ingredients. Jumbo lists wheat, rye and milk among the ingredients in Jumbo Mini Taai Taai.
Read the current label for each variety before offering taaitaai to visitors.

A serving size doesn’t have to be the same as the weight of one piece. Jumbo lists around 9.5 g per Bolletje figure, but 14 g per serving of Jumbo Mini Taai Taai; Albert Heijn lists 11 g as the serving size for AH Taai taai.
Use a stated weight per piece to compare individual bites, and also check how many servings the pack contains.

No. Jumbo lists wheat, rye and gluten in Jumbo Mini Taai Taai. If you’re looking for a gluten-free option, check for an explicit claim on the current packaging and check for other allergens too.
Check the current packaging for every variety you choose. The regular products checked list ingredients including wheat, rye or milk; for the gluten-free Consenza figures, Albert Heijn lists oats, almonds and nuts. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains that 14 allergens must be declared on the label.
Follow the instructions on the packaging for your variety. Albert Heijn says to store AH Taai taai in a cool, dry place and, once opened, in a sealed tin; for the Consenza figures, it advises storing them in a dry, sealed container.
Don’t use an old product page to confirm current availability or ingredients. On 7 October 2026, Jumbo said that two of the small varieties it had checked were no longer in its online range. Check current availability before you buy, and read the label on the pack you receive before handing it out.
