Walkers who want to take one biscuit for each break
For them, an individual wrapper for each biscuit matters more than the weight of the bag or the number of stated portions. Check the outer packaging before relying on this feature.
Who is this relevant to?
Walkers who need to check allergens
For the taaitaai products described by Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS, allergens include cereals containing gluten and milk. Ingredients and any warnings can vary by product, so check the label on the pack you’re buying.
Walkers who want to take taaitaai on several walks
For this group, the amount in each pack and the storage instructions after opening are important. A larger bag doesn’t mean the biscuits are individually wrapped.
What should you look for when buying?
First decide whether you need each biscuit to have its own factory-sealed wrapper. If not, you could choose a regular bag and pack the amount you want before setting off.
Taaitaai with an individual wrapper for each biscuit
When: If you want to be able to take or share one sealed biscuit at a time while you’re out.
Please note: A label such as ‘per bag’, ‘2-pack’ or a number of portions doesn’t confirm that each biscuit has its own wrapper.
Taaitaai from a regular bag
When: If a factory-sealed wrapper isn’t essential and you can pack a portion yourself at home.
Please note: Follow the product’s storage instructions after opening. Albert Heijn recommends keeping its taaitaai in a sealed tin.

Common mistakes
-
Assuming a bag or multipack means individually wrapped biscuits
‘Per bag’, ‘2-pack’ and a number of portions don’t tell you whether each biscuit is individually wrapped. You could still end up buying a pack that isn’t suitable if you want one sealed biscuit for each walking break.
Before buying, check that the packaging clearly states that each biscuit has its own wrapper.
-
Checking only an online allergen list
You need to check the ingredients and warnings on the exact product you buy. For the taaitaai products described by Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS, allergens include cereals containing gluten and milk.
Before eating, read the label on the pack you’re actually taking with you, including any ‘may contain’ warnings.
-
Taking an opened bag without suitable packaging
For taaitaai from a regular bag, the storage instructions after opening still matter. Albert Heijn recommends keeping its taaitaai in a sealed tin, while PLUS says to store its product in a cool, dry, dark place.
Before setting off, portion out the amount you want into a clean, securely sealed container, and follow the bag’s instructions for any taaitaai you leave at home.
