Who are these options for?

For anyone looking for organic, individually wrapped taaitaai

If you want to take taaitaai with you or hand it out, individual wrappers can be handy. For the same variant, check that it is also labelled organic: the product listings from Albert Heijn and Van Delft do not confirm both requirements together.

For anyone looking for organic, gluten-free taaitaai

Albert Heijn describes Consenza Taai Taai Poppetjes as organic and gluten-free. Alongside these claims, check the ingredients and allergens for the pack you choose; Albert Heijn lists oats, almonds and nuts, among other ingredients.

For anyone wanting to hand out individually wrapped taaitaai figures

For treats at school, at work or around St Nicholas’ Day, individual wrapping may be the deciding factor. Van Delft lists this for its classic taaitaai figures, but this type of packaging does not confirm organic status.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether both organic certification and individual wrapping are essential. Then compare the allergen information or, if you’re buying a standard pack for home, the pack size and storage advice.

What to consider What to check Who it matters to
Organic and individually wrapped Check the exact variant for an organic label or EU organic logo, as well as explicit confirmation that the biscuits are individually wrapped. I want to hand out taaitaai without giving up on buying organic. Around 42% of consumers prioritise this combination.
Gluten-free and allergens Read the ingredients, allergens and any warnings on the current packaging; check separately for a gluten-free claim. If I’m looking for organic, gluten-free taaitaai, I also want to know which other ingredients are relevant to me. Around 25% of consumers prioritise this check.
Pack size, availability and storage Compare the pack size and current availability; check how to store the product after opening. For taaitaai that we eat at home over several occasions, the quantity and how to store it after opening matter more. Around 33% of consumers prioritise this need.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming an individual wrapper means a product is organic

    An individual wrapper says nothing about organic status. Likewise, an organic label does not tell you how the biscuits are wrapped inside the pack.

    Check both features on the packaging or product information for exactly the same variant.

  • Overlooking other allergens when checking for gluten

    According to its product information, the organic, gluten-free Consenza variant listed by Albert Heijn contains oats, almonds and nuts, among other ingredients. Gluten-free does not mean that all the other ingredients will suit everyone.

    Read the full ingredients and allergen information, including any warnings, on the current packaging.

  • Assuming a product listing means it is currently available

    An existing product page does not mean the variant shown is available to order. Jumbo states that its 500 g Taai Taai is no longer part of its online range.

    Just before ordering, check your chosen store, the variant and current stock.

  • Not sealing an opened pack properly

    Taaitaai can change in texture during storage. This is worth bearing in mind if you don’t eat the whole pack at once.

    Follow the storage advice for your chosen variant; Albert Heijn recommends keeping its regular Taai taai in a sealed tin after opening.

Frequently asked questions

How can I check whether taaitaai is organic?

Look for an organic label or the EU organic logo on the packaging of your chosen variant. The Netherlands Enterprise Agency says that the term ‘organic’ is protected, so check the product itself rather than relying only on the shop category.

Is individually wrapped taaitaai also organic?

No. Individual wrapping on its own does not confirm organic status. Check both features separately for the same variant, even if the product description clearly mentions one of them.

Which allergens should I check in taaitaai?

Read the allergen information on the current packaging for the variant you want to buy. For its organic, gluten-free Consenza figures, Albert Heijn lists oats, almonds and nuts, among other ingredients; for its regular own-brand taaitaai, it lists milk and cereals containing gluten, among other ingredients.

How should I store taaitaai after opening?

Follow the storage advice on the packaging for your variant. For its regular Taai taai, Albert Heijn recommends storing it in a sealed tin after opening; sealing the pack properly matters if you plan to eat the biscuits over several occasions.

Does an online product page mean taaitaai is still available?

No. Check current availability at your chosen store for the variant you want before ordering. For example, Jumbo states on the page for its 500 g Taai Taai that this variant is no longer part of its online range.
