Organisers buying for a group
You want to know whether a pack contains enough for the number of people attending, so you can work out how many packs you’ll need.
Who is this for?
Organisers checking allergens
You’re buying for colleagues or guests with dietary requirements or allergies, so you check the label of the exact variant you’ve chosen.
Organisers planning ahead

What should you look for when buying?
First, decide how much taai-taai you want to serve. Then check whether the exact pack size is right for the number of people attending and the planned meeting date.

Common mistakes
-
Looking at just one pack
A 250 g pack contains half as much as a 500 g pack. You may need several packs for a larger meeting.
Work out how much taai-taai you want to serve altogether, then compare the net weight of each variant.
-
Assuming the same taai-taai is suitable for everyone
Ingredients vary between variants. According to Albert Heijn’s product information, the Consenza variant labelled gluten-free contains oats and almonds, among other ingredients.
Ask which dietary restrictions are relevant and read the current label on the pack you’re buying.
-
Treating a product page as confirmation of stock
Dirk lists mini taai-taai among its seasonal sweets. Jumbo’s product pages also state that two taai-taai products previously offered are no longer part of its online range.
Check that the exact variant is available shortly before buying, and have an alternative in mind.

- The product listing refers to an in-store purchase, so check availability at the store where you plan to shop.

Frequently asked questions
How do I work out which pack size is right for a work meeting?
Compare the net weight with the amount of taai-taai you want to serve to those attending. The standard packs listed contain 500 g; the smaller variants listed contain 250 g or 125 g. This will help you work out whether one pack is enough.
Can I choose regular taai-taai if someone eats gluten-free?
Don’t choose a variant without checking its exact label. According to Albert Heijn’s product information, the Consenza Taai taai poppetjes are labelled gluten-free, but contain oats and almonds. Check whether those ingredients are suitable for the person in question too.
How should I store taai-taai until the meeting?
Follow the storage instructions on the pack you buy. Albert Heijn’s product information recommends keeping AH Taai taai in a cool, dry, dark place and storing it in a sealed tin once opened.
Why should I check availability shortly before the meeting?
Taai-taai may be part of a seasonal range: Dirk lists its mini taai-taai among its seasonal sweets. Jumbo says that two taai-taai products are no longer part of its online range. So check that your chosen variant is available before relying on it for a meeting on a set date.
