A 500 g bag of taai-taai biscuits is a good choice for a night shift where several colleagues will be sharing, with the contents divided up during a break. For one person or a small team, 250 g may be a better fit, especially if a larger opened bag is likely to go unfinished. If you’re sharing, always check the current packaging for allergen information and storage instructions.
For several colleagues, a 500 g bag provides a shared supply. ALDI, Jumbo, PLUS and Dirk list taai-taai biscuits in this pack size; Jumbo says its St Nicholas Taai-Taai Figures contain around 36 portions. Agree in advance how you’ll share the bag.
If only a few people will be eating, a smaller quantity may be more practical. PLUS lists a 250 g version of taai-taai biscuits. Check the storage instructions too if you won’t finish the bag in one shift.
When sharing a snack break, everyone needs to be clear about the ingredients and allergens. The Jumbo and PLUS versions described list wheat, rye and milk, among other ingredients; additional warnings vary by product. So check the packaging of the product you’re actually putting out.
First, work out how many colleagues will be sharing and how much taai-taai you want to bring. Then check the information on the chosen pack before sharing.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Amount to share | Check the net weight and the shape of the biscuits. Use a stated portion size only for that specific pack. | When several colleagues take a break together, I want a bag we can share. Around 43% of consumers prioritise having an amount that’s easy to share. |
| Smaller quantity | Compare 250 g and 500 g with the number of people eating. Read the storage instructions if there are any leftovers. | When I’m snacking alone or with one colleague, I’d rather not have lots of taai-taai left over. For around 29% of consumers, a smaller quantity is the top priority. |
| Label information | Read the ingredients, allergen information and any warnings on the current packaging. | When sharing taai-taai at work, I want to know first whether the ingredients are suitable for my colleagues. For around 28% of consumers, checking the label is the top priority. |
A 500 g bag gives you plenty to share, but there may be taai-taai left over if fewer colleagues join in than expected.
Ask who’s joining in beforehand and divide up the contents during your break. Choose a smaller bag if only a few people want some.
The Jumbo and PLUS products described list wheat, rye and milk; possible traces of other allergens vary by version.
Read the current ingredients list and allergen information before sharing the bag. Leave the packaging next to the taai-taai so colleagues can check it for themselves.

No. 500 g is most practical when several colleagues will be sharing and you can divide up the contents. For one person or a small team, a 250 g pack may be a better match for how much you’re likely to eat during the shift.
Follow the instructions on the pack you’ve chosen. For the taai-taai packs described, PLUS advises storing them in a cool, dry, dark place. Check the current pack for any instructions on what to do after opening.

You could also bring another snack for colleagues who don’t want taai-taai. The Voedingscentrum lists fruit, vegetables, unsalted nuts and bread among the options. If you’re sharing food, check the ingredients for these too where necessary.
