A 500 g bag of taaitaai biscuits could suit a shared treat from time to time. If you’re planning only a few occasions like this, 350 g may be more practical. For a toddler, portion size matters more than pack size: the Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends biscuits as a weekly rather than daily treat. When packing them, check the latest label and find out what your child’s school or childcare setting allows.
They want to share taaitaai biscuits with the family while setting aside a small portion for their toddler. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends biscuits as a weekly rather than daily treat for babies and toddlers.
They’re looking for a pack size that suits the number of people eating and how often they plan to have biscuits. A 500 g bag takes up more cupboard space than AH’s 350 g pack.
They need to check the allergens on the latest label, as well as the rules at their child’s school or childcare setting. The standard varieties described by Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS contain cereals containing gluten and milk.
First, think about how often your family wants to have taaitaai biscuits and what portion you’d give your toddler. Then check the label and choose a pack size that suits those occasions.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| A small biscuit treat | Check the portion size on the pack and decide in advance how many biscuits you’ll give. | If I give my toddler taaitaai biscuits, I want them to be a small, occasional treat. This is the top priority for around 29% of consumers. |
| Allergens and childcare rules | Read the latest label and ask the school or childcare setting about its food policy. | Before I pack anything, I want to know whether the ingredients and any allergen warnings are suitable for my child. Around 29% of consumers say this check is their top priority. |
| Pack size and storage | Compare the net weight with the number of biscuit occasions you have planned, and follow the storage instructions after opening. | Several people in our family will be eating them, but an opened bag still needs to suit how often we have biscuits. For around 24% of consumers, family-sized packaging is the main consideration. |
| Local availability | Check that the variety you want is available when you need it. | If I want to bring taaitaai biscuits along for a planned family occasion, that particular pack needs to be available in time. This is the most important consideration for around 18% of consumers. |
The size of a bag doesn’t determine how often taaitaai biscuits are suitable for a toddler. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends biscuits as a weekly rather than daily treat for babies and toddlers.
Save a large pack for sharing on occasional occasions, and agree on a small portion in advance.
A gluten-free variety may contain other allergens. The Maître Mathis taaitaai biscuits described by Albert Heijn contain milk and lupin, and may also contain egg, nuts and sesame, among other things.
Read all the allergen information and warnings on the latest label. Check the school or childcare setting’s rules too before packing taaitaai biscuits for your child.

That depends on the rules at the school or childcare setting and the product you want to pack. Ask about its food and allergen policy, and check the latest label beforehand.
Follow the storage instructions on the pack. Albert Heijn recommends storing its taaitaai biscuits in a cool, dark, dry place and putting them in a sealed tin after opening.
