For a shared biscuit tin, a 500 g bag of taaitaai is a sensible starting point; Jumbo states that a 500 g pack contains around 36 servings of 14 g. If you’d like to open the stock in two stages, look for a pack containing two separate items; 250 g may be a better fit for a small meeting. Always check the current ingredients, allergen information and storage instructions on the packaging before sharing.
If you’re stocking the tin for several snack breaks, you could start with a 500 g bag. Jumbo lists around 36 servings of 14 g in its 500 g pack of Sint Taai Taai Figures. How long the bag lasts depends on how many colleagues help themselves.
A pack containing separate items lets you keep one sealed while the other is in use. Albert Heijn states that its taaitaai 2-pack contains two separate items; check the packaging for the contents of each item.
When sharing a snack, it’s important to know which ingredients colleagues need to avoid before putting it out. The PLUS and Jumbo varieties described list wheat, rye and milk, among other ingredients. Also check the current packaging for warnings about the possible presence of other allergens.
First decide whether the taaitaai is for several snack breaks or one small meeting. Then check the label and think about how you’ll store an opened bag.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Stock for sharing | Compare the net weight and check whether you’ll receive one bag or several separate items. | If I’m filling the biscuit tin on different days, I want enough in it without having to open everything straight away. Around 40% of consumers prioritise having enough stock. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients, highlighted allergens and warnings about the possible presence of other allergens on the current packaging. | When colleagues are sharing from the same tin, I want to know first whether the product is suitable for them. This check comes first for around 30% of consumers. |
| Storage after opening | Check the storage advice and make sure you can seal the opened packaging properly. | If a bag will be left between snack breaks, I want to be able to store it as instructed. This is the first consideration for around 20% of consumers. |
| Amount for a small meeting | Compare a 250 g bag with a 500 g bag, based on how many people will be eating. | For one small meeting, I don’t automatically want to open a larger bag. That’s why around 10% of consumers prioritise a smaller quantity. |
A smaller bag may suit a short meeting, but it contains less taaitaai than a 500 g bag intended for a shared biscuit tin.
Estimate how many people will be eating and whether you want any left over after the meeting.
The PLUS and Jumbo products described list wheat, rye and milk. Any additional warnings vary by product.
Check the label on the bag you’re actually putting out and make the ingredients information accessible to colleagues.
Albert Heijn states that its taaitaai 2-pack is supplied as two separate items. The number of items alone doesn’t tell you how much is in each individual pack.
Choose separate items if you want to open your stock in stages; check the net weight of each item if you need a particular quantity.
These examples show which packaging details can help when choosing taaitaai for the office. Always check the current product and its packaging.
