Which bag is right for you?

Households sharing the biscuit tin

If several people eat taai-taai, or you want to fill the tin for more than one evening, a 500 g bag is worth comparing. ALDI, Jumbo, PLUS and Dirk list taai-taai or mini taai-taai in 500 g bags.

Shoppers comparing pack sizes

You want to know how much taai-taai you’ll be bringing home at once. Compare the weight on the pack with how often you expect to snack from the bag.

Households that need to check the label

If you have a relevant allergy or intolerance, check the ingredients and allergen warnings on the current packaging of the specific product.

What should you look for when choosing?

Choose a bag size that suits who’ll be eating it and how often. If allergens are a concern, checking the current label comes first.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters to
Enough to share Check the net weight and whether the bag contains mini shapes or larger biscuits. If several of us snack from the biscuit tin, I want enough for another snack break. Sharing and having a supply ready are priorities for around 46% of consumers.
Ingredients and allergens Read the ingredients and allergen warnings on the current packaging of the bag you’ve chosen. If someone at home has an allergy or intolerance to consider, I want to know what’s in this taai-taai before sharing it. Checking the label is the top priority for around 36% of consumers.
A smaller amount left over Compare 250 g and 500 g bags, and read the storage advice on the packaging. If I only eat taai-taai occasionally, I don’t want to open more than we’re likely to use. Keeping leftovers to a minimum is the main consideration for around 18% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming another brand’s label applies

    Ingredients and allergen warnings can vary from one product to another. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority stresses that allergens must be clearly listed on the label.

    If you have a relevant allergy or intolerance, read the current packaging of the exact bag you intend to use.

  • Choosing a large bag without planning how you’ll use it

    A 500 g bag may be handy for several snack breaks, but it could leave you with more leftover if you only eat taai-taai occasionally.

    Choose a size that suits how much you expect to eat, and follow the storage advice on the packaging.

Brands to compare

ALDI

ALDI lists 500 g taai-taai with an aniseed flavour, shaped into figures.

  • Check the current label in store and confirm that the bag is available.

Jumbo

Jumbo lists Sint Taai Taai Figuurtjes, 500 g, and De Originele Taai Taai, 500 g, as separate products.

  • You can compare two listed varieties in the same pack size.
  • Read the label for the variety you choose; information for one bag doesn’t automatically apply to the other.

PLUS

PLUS lists a 500 g bag of taai-taai, as well as separate 250 g artisan taai-taai biscuits.

  • The two weights let you choose between a larger pack and a smaller amount to have at home at once.
  • The product information for the 500 g bag doesn’t automatically apply to the 250 g artisan biscuits.

Dirk

Dirk lists 1 de Beste Mini taai taai, 500 g.

  • The stated weight makes it easy to compare with other 500 g bags.
  • Check the bag’s label for ingredients, nutritional information and allergens.

Albert Heijn

Albert Heijn lists products including AH Taai taai, AH Taai taai 2-pack and Bolletje taai taai.

  • You can compare these individual products by checking their packaging and ingredients.
  • Albert Heijn recommends reading the packaging because product information can change. Don’t assume that all varieties have the same weight or label.
