Common mistakes

  • Assuming a seasonal listing means the product will be available

    A search result or an older online listing doesn’t mean you’ll still be able to pick up the taai-taai on your next shop. Jumbo no longer lists a previously featured Bolletje variety in its online range.

    Check the latest product information shortly before you shop, or look on the shelves at your chosen store.

  • Assuming all taai-taai is the same

    Ingredients, allergens and nutritional values can vary between products or change over time. So the information for one brand or pack won’t necessarily apply to another.

    Check the ingredients list, stated allergens and nutrition table on the pack you’re actually buying.

Frequently asked questions

Is taai-taai automatically a good choice for every long study session?

You can’t tell from the product name alone. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre points out that snacks vary in things such as sugar and saturated fat. Check the nutritional information for your chosen taai-taai, and compare similar products per 100 g if those values matter to you.

What should I check if I need to avoid certain allergens?

Read the ingredients and allergen information on the current pack of the exact variety. For example, Jumbo lists milk, rye and wheat for its 350 g pack of Bolletje Taai Taai Poppetjes. Don’t assume this product information applies to other taai-taai.

How should I store an opened bag of taai-taai?

Follow the storage instructions on the pack you bought. For AH Taai taai, Albert Heijn advises storing it in a cool, dry place and keeping it in a sealed tin once opened.
