Choose taaitaai with an explicit mini label if you want to hand out small pieces at your oliebollen stall without breaking up larger biscuits; Dirk lists 1 de Beste Mini taai taai in a 500 g bag. If size is less important, you could consider regular taaitaai. If you also want to offer gluten-free taaitaai, treat it as a separate option and check for other allergens too. For unpackaged sales, the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says you must inform customers about any allergens present before they buy.
You want to be able to give each visitor a small piece without breaking up a larger shaped biscuit. Dirk lists 1 de Beste Mini taai taai in a 500 g bag; check the packaging to see how large the pieces are.
You portion it out or offer taaitaai unpackaged. In that case, customers must be able to access information about any allergens present before they buy, according to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority.
You want to offer visitors who eat gluten-free a separate option. Albert Heijn describes Consenza Taai taai poppetjes as gluten-free; the product also contains oats and almonds.
First decide whether small individual pieces, information for unpackaged sales or a separate gluten-free option is your priority. Then check the packaging of the exact variety you plan to offer.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Small portions | Check that the variety is labelled as mini and look at the packaging to see how large the pieces are. A bag weighing 500 g doesn’t tell you how many pieces it contains. | If I want to hand out one small piece at a busy stall without breaking up shaped biscuits, size is crucial. For around 50% of consumers, ease of handing them out is the top priority. |
| Allergens when selling loose | Keep up-to-date allergen information for each variety to hand, and make it clear at the point of sale how customers can get that information before buying. | When selling loose, I want to be able to give customers accurate allergen information even when I switch between varieties. Around 33% of consumers prioritise this information. |
| Separate gluten-free option | Check the gluten-free label and all other allergens on the packaging you choose. Consenza Taai taai poppetjes contain oats and almonds. | For visitors who eat gluten-free, I want to offer a separate option without overlooking other allergens. For around 17% of consumers, this separate option is the main priority. |
