Who are the options suitable for?

If you’re the only one eating taaitaai

Want just a small amount over the festive period? Albert Heijn lists 125 g packs from Maître Mathis and Consenza. These are gluten-free products, not individually wrapped bars, so check that the ingredients suit your needs.

If you need to check for allergens

Compare the ingredients and any warnings about the possible presence of allergens on the current packaging with the ingredients you need to avoid. A gluten-free label says nothing about the presence of other allergens.

If you want to share your taaitaai

Planning to enjoy it on several occasions or share it with others? PLUS lists a 250 g bag, while Albert Heijn and Jumbo list 500 g options. Before buying, check how to store your chosen product once opened.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, decide how much taaitaai you want to buy. Then check the ingredients and, if you’re considering a larger bag, the storage instructions.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters to
Amount for one person Check the net weight and whether individual portions are wrapped separately. A 125 g bag isn’t the same as one individual bar. If I only want to eat taaitaai a few times, I don’t want to be left with a large bag; around 46% of consumers prioritise buying a small amount.
Gluten and other allergens Read the current ingredients list and any warnings about the possible presence of allergens; don’t rely on the gluten-free label alone. If I need to avoid certain ingredients, the label determines which option I can consider. Around 27% of consumers prioritise checking for allergens.
Stock to share Compare the net weight and read the storage instructions on the pack you’re buying. If I’m planning to enjoy it on several occasions or share it, I want enough regular taaitaai to store; around 27% of consumers make having enough in stock their top priority.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a small bag is a single bar

    A 125 g pack may leave you with less leftover stock than a larger bag, but it isn’t automatically an individually wrapped snack.

    If you need exactly one individually wrapped portion, check both the net weight and the packaging description.

  • Assuming gluten-free means free from other allergens

    The product page for Maître Mathis lists milk and lupin, and says the product may contain egg, nuts and sesame. Consenza’s ingredients list includes oats and almonds.

    If you have a specific allergy, check the current ingredients and warnings on the packaging.

  • Relying only on online ingredient information

    Ingredients and allergen information can change, so a product page you viewed earlier may not match the packaging in front of you.

    Read the label on the product you buy before eating it.

  • Assuming taaitaai is a regular part of the Christmas range

    Jumbo sells an option with Sint in its product name. That doesn’t tell you whether it’ll be available when you do your Christmas shopping.

    Check current stock at the shop you plan to buy from shortly before you go shopping.

Brands to consider

Albert Heijn

Albert Heijn’s own-brand taaitaai comes in a regular bag for enjoying on several occasions.

  • Albert Heijn lists a 500 g bag with 45 portions of 11 g.
  • The ingredients include wheat, rye and milk protein. Albert Heijn says you can store the taaitaai in a sealed tin after opening.

Jumbo

Sint Taai Taai Figuurtjes comes in a regular pack for enjoying over several occasions or sharing.

  • Jumbo lists a 500 g pack with around 36 portions of 14 g.
  • The ingredients include wheat, rye and milk protein. Jumbo recommends storing the pack in a cool, dry place.

PLUS

The traditional taaitaai biscuits come in a regular 250 g bag.

  • The 250 g bag contains less taaitaai than the regular 500 g bags listed above.
  • The product information lists wheat, rye, milk and lactose, and says the product may also contain egg, almonds and hazelnuts, among other allergens.

Maître Mathis

  • The 125 g pack is a good option if you’re looking for a smaller amount and a gluten-free product.
  • The product information lists milk and lupin, and says it may contain egg, nuts and sesame. Gluten-free doesn’t mean free from other allergens.

Consenza

The taaitaai figures are sold in a 125 g gluten-free, organic pack.

  • The 125 g pack offers a smaller amount than the regular bags listed above.
  • The ingredients list includes gluten-free oats and 8% almonds; check that the ingredients meet your allergen requirements.

Frequently asked questions

Is a 125 g bag of taaitaai the same as a single bar?

No, a 125 g bag isn’t the same as an individually wrapped bar. If you need exactly one individually wrapped portion, check the packaging description.

How much taaitaai should I buy if I’m eating alone?

A smaller bag could be a good option if you want to avoid having much left over: Albert Heijn lists 125 g gluten-free options from Maître Mathis and Consenza, while PLUS lists a regular 250 g bag. Check the ingredients as well as the weight; a 500 g bag is mainly worth considering if you’re planning to enjoy it on several occasions.

Is gluten-free taaitaai also free from other allergens?

No, gluten-free says nothing about other allergens. The product information for Maître Mathis lists milk and lupin and says it may contain egg, nuts and sesame; Consenza’s information lists oats and almonds. Check the current label for the ingredients and warnings that matter to you.

How should I store a larger bag of taaitaai?

Follow the storage instructions on the bag you buy. For its taaitaai, Albert Heijn recommends using a sealed tin after opening; Jumbo says to store it in a cool, dry place. Also check the best-before date on the packaging.

Can I count on finding taaitaai when I do my Christmas shopping?

Check current stock before you count on it being available. Some of the products mentioned, such as Jumbo Sint Taai Taai Figuurtjes, are sold in a Sint-seasonal context; that doesn’t guarantee they’ll be available when you do your Christmas shopping.
