Who is this useful for?

People who regularly buy taai-taai

If you often buy a pack, its size determines how much taai-taai you have at home. The standard varieties from ALDI, Dirk, Albert Heijn and PLUS listed here each come in a 500 g pack.

People who want to choose their snack portion

For a late-morning snack, you may want to know what a portion contains. Albert Heijn lists 360 kcal and 39 g of sugars per 100 g for AH Taai taai. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends comparing the nutritional values of products per 100 g.

People who need to check ingredients or allergens

When checking for allergens, the ingredients in the exact variety matter. The standard examples from Albert Heijn, PLUS and Jumbo contain cereals containing gluten and/or milk. The Consenza taai taai labelled gluten-free contains oats and almonds.

What should you look for when choosing?

Start with the pack size and the portion you want to eat. Then check the nutritional information and, if relevant to you, the ingredients and allergen information for the variety you’ve chosen.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming gluten-free means free from all allergens

    According to Albert Heijn’s product information, the Consenza taai taai labelled gluten-free also contains oats and almonds. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre stresses the importance of checking the allergen information on the label if you have a food allergy.

    As well as checking the gluten-free label, read the full ingredients and allergen information on the pack you’re buying.

  • Going by the “snack” label alone

    That label doesn’t tell you how much you’re eating or what nutritional values come with it. According to Albert Heijn, AH Taai taai contains 39 g of sugars per 100 g.

    Read the nutritional information per 100 g, then decide how much you want to have.

  • Assuming a product page means the item is currently available

    Jumbo lists product information for De Originele Taai Taai 500 g, but also says this exact variety is no longer part of its online range.

    Check which variety you can actually choose and read the label on that pack.
