Who is this relevant for?

Organisers of larger meetings

If you’re shopping for a larger group or several occasions, the pack weight and stated portions can help you plan how much to buy.

Organisers who need to check allergens

When choosing snacks for colleagues with different allergies, check the information on the packaging of your chosen variety before serving the taaitaai biscuits.

People planning a small meeting

If taaitaai biscuits are just one of several snacks, you may prefer not to open too much at once. A smaller pack or a single bag may be better suited to the number of people attending.

What should you look for when choosing?

Decide how many occasions you need to cater for, then check the portions and allergen information on the pack you’re actually buying.

What to consider What to check Who it matters to
Quantity and portions Compare the net weight with the portion size on the packaging. 500 g bags may list different numbers of portions. If I’m catering for several meetings, I want to have enough to serve without opening every bag straight away. This quantity is the top priority for around 42% of consumers.
Allergens Read the allergen information and any warnings about possible cross-contamination on the packaging of the exact variety you’ve chosen. When colleagues have allergies, I want to know which taaitaai biscuits I can and can’t serve. This check matters most to around 33% of consumers.
Leftover taaitaai biscuits Match the number of bags to expected attendance and the other snacks on offer. Check how to store unopened and opened bags. For a single short meeting, I don’t want to open more than people are likely to eat. Avoiding leftovers is the main concern for around 25% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming every 500 g bag contains the same number of portions

    Albert Heijn lists 45 portions of 11 g for its 500 g bag. Jumbo lists around 36 portions of 14 g for its 500 g Sint Taai Taai Figuurtjes. So the same bag weight doesn’t necessarily mean the same stated number of portions.

    Decide what size portion will work for your meeting, then compare the net weight and portion size of the bag you’ve chosen.

  • Guessing allergen information from the product name

    The varieties mentioned from Albert Heijn and Jumbo include milk, wheat and rye. The packaging may also carry warnings about other allergens.

    Ask about relevant allergies, and check the up-to-date packaging of each variety you’ve chosen both before buying and before serving.

  • Relying on a seasonal product without checking availability

    Taaitaai biscuits may be part of a Sinterklaas range. Jumbo states that its De Originele Taai Taai 500 g variety is no longer available in its online range.

    Check shortly before your meeting whether your chosen shop has the variety you want, and consider an alternative snack if necessary.

Frequently asked questions

How much taaitaai do I need for a work meeting?

Use the portion size stated on the bag you’ve chosen as a guide, and take the other snacks into account. Albert Heijn lists 45 portions of 11 g for its 500 g bag; Jumbo lists around 36 portions of 14 g for its 500 g Sint Taai Taai Figuurtjes. Decide in advance how much you want to serve each person.

When is a 3-pack more useful than a single bag?

A 3-pack can work well for a larger group or several meetings, as the AH Taai taai 3-pack contains three separate 500 g bags. For one smaller meeting, a single bag may be enough, so you won’t have to open as much at once.

Can I serve taaitaai biscuits if someone has a milk or gluten allergy?

Don’t rely on the product name. Check the packaging of the exact variety you want to serve, and if someone has an allergy, confirm what is suitable for them. The varieties mentioned from Albert Heijn and Jumbo contain milk, wheat and rye. Check for any warnings about other allergens too.

How should I store taaitaai biscuits after the meeting?

Follow the storage advice on the packaging of your product. Albert Heijn recommends storing AH Taai taai in a cool, dry place and putting the biscuits in a sealed tin after opening. PLUS recommends storing its taaitaai in a cool, dry, dark place.
