Office teams buying for lots of colleagues
If the tin is used during several breaks, first check how much taaitaai is in each bag. Jumbo, PLUS, ALDI and Dirk list a 500 g pack.
Who is this choice relevant to?
Colleagues who want to check allergens in advance
When sharing a tin, it should be clear which ingredients and any warnings apply to the taaitaai. Use online product information to narrow down your options, then read the label on the pack you buy before putting it out.
Teams with a small tin or one that empties slowly
If little taaitaai is eaten, a smaller bag may better suit how often you top it up. Albert Heijn lists its single pack as 350 g and advises storing the taaitaai in a sealed tin after opening.
What should you look for when choosing?
First, work out how quickly the tin empties. Then check the label for everyone who’ll be sharing the snacks, and choose a storage method that suits the opened pack.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Pack size | Compare the net weight with how often you top up. Jumbo, PLUS, ALDI and Dirk list 500 g; Albert Heijn’s single product page lists 350 g. | If lots of colleagues share the same tin, I want enough to last for more than one break. For around 45% of consumers, having enough to share is the priority. |
| Allergens | Check the pack you buy for its ingredients, allergens present and any ‘may contain’ warnings. | When I share food with colleagues, I want everyone to be able to check the allergens before helping themselves. Around 36% of consumers prioritise this check. |
| Storage and topping up | Check the date and storage instructions on the pack. Albert Heijn advises keeping its taaitaai in a sealed tin after opening; Albert Heijn and PLUS both recommend storing it in a cool, dry, dark place. | If the tin empties slowly, I don’t want to keep a large bag open for longer than necessary. How often to top up is the main consideration for around 19% of consumers. |
Common mistakes when sharing and storing
-
Sharing taaitaai without keeping the label to hand
The product name won’t tell you which allergens are present or whether there are warnings about possible traces. This information varies by pack and may change if the recipe is updated.
Read the current label before filling the tin, and keep the pack or relevant label information available for colleagues.
-
Opening a large bag without a plan for topping up
If the tin empties slowly, a larger quantity will stay open for longer. So the bag size you choose should suit not only the number of colleagues, but also how often they help themselves to taaitaai.
Use a clean, dry tin that seals well, and top it up in small quantities. Check any leftover taaitaai before adding fresh pieces.

Frequently asked questions
Is a 500 g bag always more convenient for the office snack tin?
No, it depends on how quickly your colleagues empty the tin. Jumbo, PLUS, ALDI and Dirk list 500 g bags; if the tin empties slowly, you could also consider Albert Heijn’s 350 g single pack.
Which allergens should I check before sharing taaitaai?
Read the full, current label, including any ‘may contain’ warnings. Product information from Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS lists wheat, rye and milk, among other ingredients, but the exact information varies by product. Keep the pack available so colleagues can check what’s relevant to them.
Can I rely on the online allergen information alone?
Use online information to narrow down your options, but check the label on the pack you buy before putting the taaitaai in a shared tin. Ingredients and allergen information can change.
How should I store opened taaitaai at the office?
Follow the storage instructions on the pack you choose. For its taaitaai, Albert Heijn advises using a sealed tin after opening and storing it in a cool, dry, dark place; PLUS also recommends cool, dry and dark storage. Check the date on the pack too.
