Who is a family-size pack suitable for?

Those stocking up their biscuit tin

A larger bag could suit your plans if you want to serve taai-taai biscuits on several occasions. Check how many grams you’re buying and whether your household is likely to use that amount.

Families looking to reduce waste

A family-size pack is particularly practical if you can store the taai-taai biscuits properly once opened. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre (Voedingscentrum) lists drying out and mould as signs to look out for.

Shoppers with questions about ingredients or allergens

If the ingredients affect your choice, read the label on the pack you’re buying. Albert Heijn says that ingredient and allergy information can change.

What should you look for when choosing?

Decide how much taai-taai you want to store. Then consider whether you can use it all once opened, and check the label before serving.

What to consider What should you check? Who is this important for?
Quantity Check the net weight and think about how much taai-taai you’ll actually use. I want enough in the biscuit tin for several occasions, without opening an oversized bag; around 42% of consumers prioritise having the right amount in stock.
Storage after opening Read the storage instructions and check whether you can seal the pack securely. I want the contents to keep well after opening until we’ve finished them; that’s why storage is the main concern for around 25% of consumers.
Ingredients and allergens Read the ingredients list and allergen information on the current packaging. If someone eating with me needs to check the ingredients, I want to be able to read the pack label; around 33% of consumers prioritise this check.

Common mistakes

  • Relying only on the online product description

    Ingredients and allergy information can change. So a description you read previously may not match the pack you’re buying now.

    Check the ingredients list and allergen information on the pack every time you buy, even if you’ve bought the same taai-taai before.

  • Opening a large bag without a storage plan

    A family-size pack should still suit how you use the product once it’s open. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre (Voedingscentrum) lists drying out and mould as signs of a loss of quality or spoilage.

    Seal the pack securely, follow the storage instructions and check the taai-taai before serving.

Frequently asked questions

When should I choose a 500 g bag rather than a multipack?

Choose a 500 g bag if you want to use that amount for your biscuit tin and can store it properly. Consider a multipack if splitting the contents across several packs better suits how you use them; check the net weight and best-before date on the pack.

How should I store taai-taai after opening?

Follow the instructions on the packaging and seal the taai-taai securely. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre (Voedingscentrum) says that opened taai-taai can be stored in a kitchen cupboard for more than two months, but advises checking for signs such as drying out and mould.

Should I check the allergens again if I’ve bought the same taai-taai before?

Yes. Check the allergen information and ingredients list on the current packaging every time you buy. Albert Heijn and PLUS say that product information can change.

What if I serve taai-taai loose at my oliebollen stall?

If you unpack taai-taai and serve it to customers as a non-prepacked food, you must give them clear allergen information, according to Ondernemersplein. This requirement doesn’t apply when the taai-taai is intended solely for private use at home.
