If you want to choose taai-taai with less sugar, first compare the ‘of which sugars’ figure per 100 g, then decide how much you’ll actually eat in the evening. A smaller portion doesn’t change the sugar content of the product. Albert Heijn lists 36 g of sugars per 100 g for Bolletje Taai Taai, compared with 38,594 to 39 g per 100 g on the product pages for the PLUS, Jumbo and AH own-brand varieties mentioned here. A lower figure in this comparison doesn’t prove a reduced-sugar claim. If such a claim is essential for you, check the current packaging or consider a different snack.
You’d like to eat taai-taai after dinner, but don’t want to rely on a word like ‘less’. Compare the sugars per 100 g, then work out how much your portion contains. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises comparing nutritional information per 100 g.
You want to decide in advance how much to take from an opened bag. The portion shown on the label can help with your calculations, but it doesn’t automatically reflect how much you’ll eat. Albert Heijn and Jumbo provide portion information for their taai-taai.
First, you need to know whether the taai-taai is suitable for you. The regular varieties from Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS mentioned here list cereals containing gluten and milk or milk protein. Check the allergen information on the pack you buy, too.
Start with anything that could rule out a product, such as an allergen or a reduced-sugar claim you’re looking for. Then compare products per 100 g, and only after that decide how much you’ll have as a snack.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Sugar content | Compare the ‘of which sugars’ figures per 100 g for different types of taai-taai. Check separately whether the current pack makes a reduced-sugar claim. | If I want to eat less sugar, I want to know whether the difference in nutritional value suits what I’m looking for, without mistaking a lower figure for a reduced-sugar claim. This is a priority for around 36% of consumers. |
| Portion size | Check the portion shown and decide how many grams or biscuits you’ll have; calculate the sugars for that amount. | For a late-night snack, I want to choose an amount in advance so I don’t unknowingly take more from the bag. A defined portion is the main consideration for around 29% of consumers. |
| Allergens | Read the ingredients, allergens and any cross-contamination warnings on the current pack. | If I need to avoid certain ingredients, the taai-taai must first fit my diet; the sugar figure comes after that. This is the first consideration for around 21% of consumers. |
| Availability | Check whether the specific variety is available at your local shop or for delivery to your area, then check the label on the pack. | If I’m looking for a particular type of taai-taai, I want to know whether I can get it before planning my snack around it. Around 14% of consumers prioritise this. |
