Which pack size is right for you?

If you only need a small amount

If you’re buying taaitaai for one occasion, a 350 g bag may suit your plans better than a larger one. Check the net weight before buying several packs.

For families and sharing

For a shared platter or several people, you could consider a 500 g bag. Two separate bags are particularly handy if you want to open them on different occasions.

If you’re packing taaitaai in a lunchbox

Decide whether you want to pack small portions or portion out a larger bag yourself. If you have dietary requirements, check the ingredients and allergens for the exact variant.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, work out how much taaitaai you’ll need for the occasion. Then decide whether you want one bag, two separate bags or individually wrapped portions.

What to consider What to check Who it matters to
A small amount Compare the net weight of a 350 g bag with how much you actually want to use. If I’m taking some for one occasion, I don’t want to open more bags than necessary. Around 34% of consumers prioritise having a smaller amount.
Sharing or spreading out your supply Consider whether one 500 g bag will be enough, or whether you’d rather open two separate bags on different occasions. For a shared platter, I want to have enough without needing to open both bags at once. This is a priority for around 25% of consumers.
Ingredients and allergens Read the ingredients list, including both the ‘contains’ information and any ‘may contain’ warnings. If I have an allergy, I need to be able to check the exact variant before buying it. This is the first thing around 25% of consumers consider.
Lunchbox portions Check whether the pack contains individual portions; a multipack of separate bags doesn’t automatically mean it does. If I want to pack taaitaai, I want to be able to portion out the right amount in advance. Around 16% of consumers prioritise this convenience.

Common pitfalls

  • Comparing only the number of bags

    According to Albert Heijn, the AH Taai taai 2-pack consists of two separate items. So the number of bags doesn’t tell you how much taaitaai you’ll need for each occasion.

    Check the net weight of each bag and consider when you’ll open each one.

  • Assuming a 2-pack contains lunchbox portions

    Two separate bags aren’t the same as individually wrapped small portions.

    If you need individual portions, look specifically for portion packs. Alternatively, divide the contents of an opened bag yourself, following the storage instructions on the packaging.

  • Assuming ‘gluten-free’ means ‘free from all allergens’

    The Maître Mathis Taai taai glutenvrij listed by Albert Heijn contains milk and lupin, and carries a warning that it may contain nuts, sesame seeds and eggs.

    Check the allergen information on the exact pack every time you buy.

  • Assuming a seasonal listing means the product is currently available

    Product pages can remain online after an item has disappeared from the online range, as is the case with the taaitaai products listed by Jumbo.

    Check the current range before counting on a specific product being available.

Frequently asked questions

Is a taaitaai 2-pack also suitable for lunchboxes?

Not necessarily: according to Albert Heijn, the AH Taai taai 2-pack is supplied as separate items. Check the pack description if you’re looking for individually wrapped portions.

What information should I check on a bag of taaitaai?

Check the ingredients, allergens, net weight, nutritional information, best-before date and storage instructions for the exact variant. If you’re packing it in a lunchbox, also check whether the bag contains individual portions.

Can I rely on the product name if I have a gluten or milk allergy?

No. Check the ingredients and allergens on the exact pack. For example, the Maître Mathis Taai taai glutenvrij listed by Albert Heijn contains milk and lupin, and also carries warnings about the possible presence of other allergens.

How should I store an opened bag of taaitaai?

Follow the storage instructions on the exact pack. For its listed taaitaai, Albert Heijn advises storing it in a closed tin once opened; PLUS says to store its variant in a cool, dry and dark place.

Is taaitaai suitable for a young child’s lunchbox every day?

For toddlers and pre-schoolers, the Netherlands Nutrition Centre says biscuits are an occasional treat rather than a daily snack. Choose an amount appropriate for your child’s age and check the nutritional information per portion on the pack.
