Choose a 500 g pack of taaitaai if you regularly share it with several people. Albert Heijn lists 45 servings of 11 g per pack, while Jumbo lists around 36 servings of 14 g for its shapes. For a one-off snack on the go, a smaller pack or a portion prepared in advance is more practical. If you have allergies, always check the label.
If several people help themselves to taaitaai on different mornings, a 500 g pack could be a good choice. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list different serving sizes for their packs, so check the grams per serving as well as the number of servings.
You don’t need to take a large pack with you for a one-off snack. Choose a suitably smaller pack or prepare a portion from a larger pack in advance.
Look for a product clearly labelled as gluten-free, and check the other ingredients and allergens too. The gluten-free Consenza option listed by Albert Heijn contains oats and almonds.
| What to consider | What to check | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Pack size for sharing | Compare the net weight with the number of times you plan to share the pack. Albert Heijn and Jumbo both list 500 g packs, but their serving sizes differ. | If housemates or colleagues will be sharing it over more than one morning, I want enough in the pack without it staying open for too long. Pack size for sharing is the top priority for around 44% of consumers. |
| Portion to take with you | Check the serving size on the pack and, if needed, prepare a portion in advance to take with you. | On a rushed morning, I want to be able to take something with me without having to serve it from a large pack there and then. Portion control matters most to around 33% of consumers. |
| Allergens | Read the ingredients, allergens and any warnings about traces on the packaging you buy. | If someone sharing the food needs to avoid certain ingredients, I want to check that this taaitaai is suitable first. This check comes first for around 23% of consumers. |
Albert Heijn’s 3-pack contains three separate 500 g bags, not individually wrapped biscuits or breakfast portions.
Check whether you’re buying a multipack, a sharing pack or individually wrapped portions. If you need something to take with you, prepare a portion from a sharing pack yourself.
According to Albert Heijn, its taaitaai from Consenza labelled gluten-free also contains oats and almonds. Standard options from Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS list wheat, rye and milk, among other ingredients.
Check the current allergen information on the pack every time you buy, including warnings about possible traces.
Taaitaai is a sweet biscuit. The convenience of a portion to take with you doesn’t tell you how it fits into the rest of your breakfast.
Check the nutritional information per 100 g and per serving, and decide what else you’d like to have with your breakfast.
A listing for a 500 g option at Jumbo doesn’t necessarily mean that particular product is still available to order.
Before buying, check the current product page or the range at the shop where you plan to buy it.

A 500 g pack could work if you’re sharing the taaitaai with several people over different occasions. Albert Heijn lists 45 servings of 11 g per pack, while Jumbo lists around 36 servings of 14 g for its shapes. Use the serving information on the pack you choose.
Don’t assume that a portion of taaitaai will make up your whole breakfast. The Voedingscentrum recommends considering snacks in the context of what else you eat. If you’d like to have taaitaai for breakfast, check the nutritional information per 100 g and per serving.
Follow the storage instructions on the pack you’ve bought. Albert Heijn recommends storing its taaitaai in a cool, dry place and keeping it in a sealed tin after opening. PLUS recommends storing its option in a cool, dry and dark place.
No, check the packaging for each product. The standard options mentioned from Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS list wheat, rye and milk, among other ingredients. Albert Heijn’s Consenza option is labelled gluten-free, but contains oats and almonds.
