Families looking to share something at breakfast

You want to put taai-taai biscuits on the table for a relaxed weekend breakfast together, alongside the other breakfast items.

Shoppers checking allergens

Before buying, you need to check whether the specific taai-taai biscuits meet your requirements, for example around gluten, milk or nuts. Even with a gluten-free variety, it’s important to check the full allergen information.

What should you look for when choosing?

Start with how much you want to serve, decide what role the taai-taai biscuits will play at breakfast, and check the label before buying if you need to avoid any allergens.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters to
Pack size Check the net weight and choose an amount that suits the number of people eating. If only a few people are eating, I don’t want to be left with an oversized pack. Around 38% of consumers prioritise getting the right quantity.
Its place at breakfast Check the nutritional information per 100 g and, if provided, per portion. Decide whether you’ll serve the taai-taai biscuits as an addition.

Ingredients and allergens Read the current ingredients and allergen information for the specific variety, even if it is labelled gluten-free. If I need to avoid certain ingredients, I want to know what’s in the pack. For around 25% of consumers, this is their main concern.

Common mistakes

  • Thinking of taai-taai biscuits as a substitute for the whole breakfast

    Taai-taai biscuits are a sweet treat. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre lists brown or wholemeal bread, among other things, as part of a breakfast.

    Decide what else you’ll serve at breakfast, and add taai-taai biscuits if you like.

  • Assuming gluten-free means free from other allergens

    Oats and almonds are also listed for the gluten-free Consenza taai-taai biscuits described here. So a gluten-free label doesn’t tell you everything about the other ingredients.

    Read the full allergen information on the pack of the variety you’re buying.

  • Assuming the same pack will always be available

    Where and how products are available can vary. For example, Albert Heijn stated that its taai-taai biscuits were only available in store.

    Before doing your weekend shop, check whether the variety you want is available through the store or ordering option you plan to use.
