Shoppers who need to check allergens

You’re sharing with someone who needs to know about the ingredients or possible traces of allergens. Check the specific pack: even taai-taai labelled gluten-free may contain other allergens.

What should you look for in a sharing bag of taai-taai?

Choose the pack size to suit the group you’re sharing with, then decide how you’ll carry the taai-taai. Before dividing it up, check the nutritional information and allergen details for the pack you’ve chosen.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters to
Pack size for sharing Compare the net weight and, if stated, the number of portions. A 500 g bag and a 350 g bag won’t provide the same amount to share. If I’m packing for a group, I want to divide the taai-taai without having lots left over. For around 31% of consumers, pack size for sharing comes first.
Portions for the walk Check the stated piece or portion size, and choose a resealable tub or bag for carrying portions. When I’m out walking, I want to take a small portion out of my bag rather than opening a large pack each time. Portable portions are the main concern for around 25% of consumers.
Allergens Read the ingredients and any statements about the possible presence of allergens on the exact pack you’re buying. When I’m sharing taai-taai, I need to know whether the chosen variety is suitable for other people’s allergen restrictions. For around 25% of consumers, this check is their top priority.
Nutritional information Compare details such as sugars, fibre and salt per 100 g and, where stated, per portion. I want to know how a portion of taai-taai fits alongside my drinks and other food during the walk. For around 19% of consumers, nutritional choices matter most.

Common mistakes when choosing taai-taai for a walk

  • Treating a 500 g bag as one portion for a walk

    A sharing pack can make it easy to take more than you’d want to eat as a small snack on the go. Wandel.nl recommends eating smaller amounts regularly during a walk.

    Divide the taai-taai into resealable tubs or bags beforehand, and take drinks with you.

  • Assuming gluten-free means free from other allergens too

    The gluten-free variety of Maître Mathis reviewed here contains milk and lupin, and states that it may contain nuts, sesame and egg.

    When sharing, check both the ingredients and any warnings on the specific pack.

  • Relying on the product name alone

    A name or image doesn’t provide all the information you need to assess ingredients, allergens and storage instructions.

    Compare the product information before buying, then read the label on the pack you’ll actually be taking with you.

  • Taking taai-taai as your only provisions for a long walk

    A bag of taai-taai is no substitute for drinks. Wandel.nl highlights the importance of drinking enough during a walk.

    Take drinks with you and decide what other food to pack based on your walk and your usual eating habits.
