Which pack is right for you?

Families with a well-stocked biscuit tin

Would you like to serve taaitaai at several points over the weekend? The AH 2-pack contains two separate bags, so you can keep the second one sealed until you need it.

Weekend shoppers looking for a single bag

If you expect one bag to be enough, you can compare the 500 g size with a 2-pack. Both ALDI and Dirk have listed a 500 g taaitaai option; check which pack is actually available at your chosen shop.

Shoppers who want to check the label

Are you buying for someone who needs to avoid certain ingredients, or would you like to check the nutritional information? Read the label on the bag you buy. The 500 g AH version lists wheat, rye and milk, among other ingredients.

What should you look for when choosing?

Decide how much taaitaai you want to keep for the weekend. Then check how many individual bags there are and read the label for the version you choose.

What to consider What to check Who it matters to
Weekend supplies Check the total weight and the number of separate bags. The AH 2-pack contains two 500 g bags. If several family members want taaitaai at different times, I want to have enough in the cupboard without opening everything at once. For around 42% of consumers, having enough in stock comes first.
The right amount Consider whether one 500 g bag is enough for what you want to serve and store, or whether you need a second bag. When I’m buying taaitaai just for this weekend, I don’t want to automatically pick up a second bag as well. Around 33% of consumers prioritise getting the right amount.
Ingredients and nutritional information Check the current pack for ingredients, allergens and sugar content per 100 g or per serving. If I need to keep an eye on ingredients or sugar, I want to check the label before choosing a pack. For around 25% of consumers, this check comes first.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a 2-pack is one resealable bag

    Albert Heijn sells the AH Taai taai 2-pack as two separate bags. This means you can keep one sealed, but you’ll need to store the opened bag carefully yourself.

    Check that two separate bags suit your plans, and follow the storage instructions on the pack once it’s opened.

  • Relying on an allergen list you read earlier

    Ingredients can change. Allergens and warnings about possible traces can also vary between versions.

    Before eating, read the current label on each bag. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says that allergen information must appear on the label of prepacked foods.

  • Planning taaitaai as the only part of breakfast

    Taaitaai is a biscuit. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre describes a breakfast that includes foods from the Wheel of Five, such as wholegrain products and fruit.

    If you’d like to serve taaitaai at weekend breakfast, decide what other breakfast foods you’ll put on the table too.

Brands and shops to consider

Albert Heijn

Albert Heijn lists both a single 500 g bag of AH Taai taai and a 2-pack containing two separate bags.

  • The single bag lists ingredients, allergens and a serving suggestion.
  • The 2-pack isn’t one resealable pack; check the current label before buying, too.

Jumbo

Jumbo lists Sint Taai Taai Figuurtjes in a 500 g bag, with ingredient and allergen information.

  • The pack states that it contains around 36 servings.
  • Check the exact product name: information about these shaped biscuits doesn’t automatically apply to other Jumbo versions.

ALDI

ALDI lists a 500 g bag of anise-flavoured taai-taai biscuits in shaped pieces.

  • The pack size is comparable to other single 500 g bags.
  • Check the pack and the current label for the version you choose in store.

PLUS

PLUS lists a 500 g taai-taai version with ingredients, allergens, nutritional information and storage instructions.

  • The product information gives it a Nutri-Score D; that score alone doesn’t determine whether the product is right for your breakfast.
  • Read the current label, as product information can change.

Dirk

At Dirk, Mini taai taai is a 500 g option to consider as a single bag for the family.

  • The listed pack has the same weight as the other single 500 g bags.
  • When you buy it, check the ingredients, allergens and storage instructions on the pack.

Frequently asked questions

When is a 2-pack of taaitaai handy for a family weekend?

A 2-pack is useful if you want to keep two 500 g bags for several occasions. The AH Taai taai 2-pack comes as two separate bags, so you can leave the second one sealed; decide for yourself whether you need both.

Follow the instructions on the pack you’ve chosen. Albert Heijn recommends storing its taaitaai in a cool, dry place and putting the biscuits in a sealed tin after opening; PLUS recommends storing its version in a cool, dry and dark place.

Is online allergen information enough to choose taaitaai?

Use online information to compare versions, but read the label on the bag you’ve bought before eating it. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says that allergen information must appear on the label of prepacked foods.

Can taaitaai make up the whole weekend breakfast?

Taaitaai is a biscuit. If you’d also like to put together a breakfast with foods from the Wheel of Five, you’ll need to choose other foods as well. In its breakfast guidance, the Netherlands Nutrition Centre mentions wholegrain products and fruit, among other options.
