Which taaitaai is right for you?

Looking for taaitaai with chocolate?

If chocolate needs to be part of the taaitaai, the product name matters more than a picture of chocolate next to plain taaitaai. Jumbo lists Taai Taai Milk Chocolate 250g; check the packaging to see whether it’s the coated version you’re looking for.

Buying for home or to share

If chocolate is optional, you could also compare pack sizes. PLUS lists plain taaitaai biscuits in a 250 g pack, while ALDI lists plain taaitaai in a 500 g pack. Choose an amount that suits what you want to take with you or share.

Checking ingredients and allergens

The product name doesn’t tell you which ingredients or allergens a particular variety contains. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority highlights the requirement to declare allergens on pre-packed food. So read the label on the exact pack you choose.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, decide whether chocolate is essential. Then compare pack sizes and, if ingredients matter to your choice, check the label on the variety you’re considering.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters to
Taaitaai with chocolate Read the full product name and check the packaging to see how chocolate features in the product. I’m looking for taaitaai with a chocolate coating for a small treat, not plain taaitaai with chocolate on the side. For around 44% of consumers, this specific product choice matters most.
Pack size and availability Compare the weight in grams and check availability at your chosen shop. PLUS lists plain taaitaai in a 250 g pack, while ALDI lists a plain variety in a 500 g pack. For home or sharing, I mainly want to be able to take a suitable amount. For around 33% of consumers, pack size and availability come first.
Ingredients and allergens Check the ingredients list, allergen information and any warning about possible traces on the current packaging; don’t rely on the label for a different variety. If certain ingredients affect my choice, I want to be able to assess the taaitaai I’ve chosen using its own label. Around 23% of consumers give this check top priority.

Common buying mistakes

  • Assuming plain taaitaai and chocolate-coated taaitaai are the same

    A pack of plain taaitaai or chocolate kruidnoten won’t necessarily meet your needs if you’re looking for chocolate-coated taaitaai.

    Read the full product name and check the packaging before choosing an alternative.

  • Assuming a product listing confirms it’s in stock

    An online product page doesn’t necessarily mean you can buy an item from your chosen shop. Jumbo says its plain Taai Taai 500g is no longer part of its online range.

    Check your chosen shop or delivery area and confirm current availability before setting off or placing an order.

  • Applying allergen information from a different variety

    PLUS lists wheat, rye and milk among the ingredients in its plain artisan taaitaai biscuits. This information doesn’t automatically apply to a chocolate variety of taaitaai.

    Check the ingredients, highlighted allergens and any warnings on the packaging of the product you’re actually buying.

Frequently asked questions

Is plain taaitaai with chocolate on the side the same as chocolate-coated taaitaai?

No. Having chocolate on the side doesn’t make the taaitaai itself chocolate-coated. Jumbo lists a product called Taai Taai Milk Chocolate 250g, but check the packaging to see how chocolate is used in that variety.

Which label should I read if allergens matter?

Read the current label on the exact variety you’re buying. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says allergens must be clearly stated on pre-packed food; you can’t assume the ingredients in plain taaitaai also apply to a variety with chocolate.

Does an online product page mean taaitaai is available?

No. Check availability for your chosen shop or delivery area. On its product page for plain Taai Taai 500g, Jumbo says this product is no longer part of its online range.

How should I store taaitaai after opening?

Follow the storage instructions on the packaging of the variety you’ve bought. PLUS says its artisan taaitaai biscuits should be stored in a cool, dry, dark place; don’t automatically apply this advice to a chocolate-coated variety.
