Choose taai-taai that’s confirmed as individually wrapped if you want to give everyone an unopened biscuit. Van Delft Chocolates confirms that its taai-taai figures are individually wrapped. If you’re sharing the biscuits at home, you could also consider the 500 g packs from Jumbo, PLUS and Aldi, or Albert Heijn’s multipack. Check the packaging, allergens, best-before date and availability of the exact product: a large bag or multipack doesn’t tell you whether each biscuit is individually wrapped.
If you want to give everyone an unopened biscuit during an outing or treat-sharing occasion, look for a specific product that’s confirmed as individually wrapped. Van Delft Chocolates states that its taai-taai figures come in this type of packaging; check availability before you rely on it.
If you’re happy to portion out the biscuits yourself, a larger pack could be a good choice. Jumbo, PLUS and Aldi list 500 g packs of taai-taai; Albert Heijn lists a 3-pack supplied as three separate items. This doesn’t confirm that the biscuits inside are individually wrapped.
Before handing out the biscuits, read the label on the product you’ve bought, including the ingredients and any ‘may contain’ statements. Jumbo and PLUS product information lists ingredients including wheat, rye, gluten and milk; the relevant statements vary by product.
